       @w3c Bluesky should explain why they need a protocol other than ActivityPub. Is there a deficiency? Why not work to improve ActivityPub rather than compete with it?

       Today I used #bpftrace on a #Linux system to investigate a performance issue. Really took me back to my days working on #Solaris at Sun Microsystems. I used #dtrace quite a bit at that time, and it's good to see the same good ideas thriving in Linux.I worked in #AIX development at #IBM for many years, and I was always a little sad that people didn't use #probevue more. Perhaps this is because AIX has a good system trace infrastructure and the culture grew up using that. Hard to say.

       Oh, as a long time TCP/IP guy who used and ported the original #BPF, it's a little annoying that the original BPF in BSD and other systems is ignored in most information about #eBPF. @brendangregg's books give BPF its due, though.

       @25admins @jimsalter painted devs with a pretty broad brush. Many devs do NOT think they need to rewrite the world, particularly when it comes to specialized fields, e.g. crypto. Many of us do not have CS degrees also!
