Lots of sites publish outages, incidents, downtime over RSS/atom. Works great for monitoring, post them into slack with a bot and you can start a discussion thread about that incident where you first hear about it.

Browsers let me copy-paste curl commands from developer tools. These don’t work with windows «curl».

I know a few flags of curl too. These also don’t generally work with «curl».

The curl alias in powershell is not compatible so it is an inconvenience. Must be one of the worst decisions to make it into windows, which is saying a lot.

Also you can schedule it a bit off. Every hour? Delay it a few seconds. Can’t do that with a chat message. Also, batch up a bunch of them, maybe save some compute that way? Latency is not an issue.

I honestly don’t think the models are as important as people tend to believe. More important is how the models are given tools - find, grep, git, test runners, …

On windows, it depends on the local git configuration. It’s not something I’ve been happy with, especially since symlinks also behave differently again when you’re running a docker container to get your windows usable for development.
