Trippy helps traceroute PCAPs; a 1TB SQL import goes pretty, pretty good; being optimistic about AI and Quantum; habits of good SWEs; .meme is now a TLD and more
This week we upgrade Traceroute with ASCII 📝; debug flows with TCP and PCAP 🐞; learn to visualise 👓 k8s; try not to die from a thousand microservices 🔪 cuts; learn about CUDA 🦈 for GPUs and are tempted by some international Network Engineering jobs 💼. Let’s dive in; ⬇️
In Partnership 🤝 with The DNS course for developers (it’s not DNS.. it’s not… uh oh… 💣)
NetEng 🔧
Trippy combines the functionality of traceroute and ping and is designed to assist with the analysis of networking issues and it looks ASCIIool to boot 👢
Performance Diagnostics Part 3 — Latency beyond Ping gives you a guide to troubleshooting latency using ping in combination with PCAP 🥅
Lessons Learned from 1TB DynamoDB Import is surprsingly more than “we need more bandwidth yo!”, when ⏲️ latency matters more to SQL
k'exp - Kubernetes Explorer helps you get to grips with k8s in a visual way, and conceptualise your Service Mesh from your Sidecar 🏍️ from your Pod
Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA) is a trade association of open source Linux distros and is worth keeping an eye on for future packages 📦 and distros that may be of use

Death by a thousand microservices is something you’ll know all too well if you’re playing Network Engineer 🐽 piggy-in-the-middle
What Every Developer Should Know About GPU Computing taught us we CUDA 🦈 learned a lot more by paying attention in AI Class
On technological optimism and technological pragmatism is a calming read amongst a panic of AI, Layoffs and Quantum ⚡
Habits of great software engineers is great and all, but missed out on our “crying curled in a ball in the toilet” suggestion for some reason 🤷

Industry 🏭
Express yourself with Google Registry's .meme top-level domain shows the madness with gTLDs never ends 🤪 (just make sure you test the TLD’s DNS resolution performance first or you could get stung)
SpaceX Starlink to Launch First Direct-to-Cell Internet Satellites could be the death of RAN as ☎️ Telco knows it today
The changing economics of open-source software has moved FOSS (because OSS is really a Telco acronym) from free labor to expected offering to the community 🦄
