Getting ready for KubeCon. It's going to be a mixed experience, not gonna lie. Our home is still filled with what would've been our lives, so I'm grateful for the travel distraction 💔 I'll have a few copies of her book for anyone who happens to find me at the conference : Where's Waldo : https://hackingcapitalism.io For the unfamiliar: the book is about modeling capitalism as a navigable system.

Today marks one year since I walked away from 360,000 followers on that other site joined this incredible community here!

Most senior roles, technology or otherwise, should be able to strike a good balance between solving existing problems and creating new problems.
