Personally, I’m not a frequent user of debuggers. Most of the projects and code that I am involved with is easily debugged with good old “die(‘here’)”. But if you are looking for some help on how to use Vim with a debugger, have a look at the “Debugging in Vim” blog post.

Red Hat changes logo
Red Hat is changing its logo from a “shadow man” in the red hat to just the red hat.
Not a huge change by any means, and I like it. It’s simpler and it’ll work better in black-and-white, as well as in smaller resolutions, like mobile screens and application icons.
Slashdot runs the story with more links and commentary, as usual.
Komiser – AWS Environment Inspector
Komiser is a really nice tool that provides an overview of your Amazon AWS setup. After a super simple install, you’ll have a web console which visualizes your AWS regions and the resources you run in them. It’s great for getting a quick overview, as well as for some analyses of billing, security and utilization issues.

Ansible + AWS + GraphViz = aws-securitygroup-grapher
aws-securitygroup-grapher is a handy tool that can generate a variety of graphs visualizing Amazon Security Groups. It is implemented as an Ansible role and uses GraphViz to produce the results.
This is particularly useful when you need to get familiar with a complex VPC setup by someone else, or when you want to review the results of an automated setup.
