Celebrating a small win: I went from consistently failing "project deep dive" interviews with hiring managers to succeeding at them. The solution? Preparing several STAR-organized stories (And asking my ex eng manager to help me remember some details 🙈)

Margaret Thatcher apparently slept for only four hours a day. Interestingly, if I sleep for four hours a day, I find I am also in favour of policies that make everyone suffer.

Not usually a fad guy but I'm pretty stoked about "vibe coding".

"It depends" is an overused phrase that people should rarely use as an argument.

The kat is out of the bag! I start a very exciting new role next week that you'll all hear about Monday. Come celebrate with me if you're going to be at RSA, and thanks to @redmonk.com for the VERY sweet note in the newsletter!

Y'all be slacking. Where's the AI parody song to the tune of "Because I Got High"? Here I'll help you start. Builds are failing today, because of AI I deployed it anyway, because of AI Production just went down, and I know why (why man?) 'Cause of AI Because of AI Because of AI

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

Meet a hot guy on an app says he’s in “intelligence” so he doesn’t have social media. image search him, find out his real name, and gf, and all his hidden accounts. He was in the CIA. I’m not Rihanna I don’t like the way you lie dude. I added him on LinkedIn after just to be petty 😂

Open source projects that change their licenses to prevent big companies from strip mining OSS get unfairly criticized @microsoft.com forking and rebranding the work of Spegel is just another example that big companies dont ❤️ anything but profits https://philiplaine.com/posts/getting-forked-by-microsoft/

Three years ago, I was part of a team responsible for developing and maintaining Kubernetes clusters for end user customers. A main source for downtime in customer environments occurred when image registries went down. The traditional way to solve this problem is to set up a stateful mirror, however we had to work within customer budget and time constraints which did not allow it. During a Black Friday, we started getting hit with a ton of traffic while GitHub container registries were down. This limited our ability to scale up the cluster as we depended on critical images from that registry. After this incident, I started thinking about a better way to avoid these scalability issues. A solution that did not need a stateful component and required minimal operational oversight. This is where the idea for Spegel came from.

Deploying something useless into production, as soon as you can, is the right way to start a new project. It pulls unknown risk forward, opens up parallel streams of work, and establishes good habits.

Don't ship when you have a minimum viable product. Don't ship a prototype to get feedback. Ship a blank page to your production servers on day one.

I hate fraud so much. I was lucky to be raised by a deeply ethical dad who worked in the real estate industry in Florida and so was constantly bringing home stories of the worst kinds of guys getting rich in ways that they felt were "illegal but fine" but were actually the worst kinds of theft.

Did you know that if you want to have a cool starter pack doll of yourself you can pick up a pencil and draw it!? If you don't know how, you can learn! If you don't feel like learning, you can ask a real artist to draw it for you! #noAI #supportrealartist #humanmadeart #starterpackdoll

Something I've been trying to get better at is telling my friends I love them I saw a lot of my friends last week at Kubecon and I didn't do it once 🙁 It's still uncomfortable for me but is more important than ever as people feel alone and unloved

Love when companies post about being major contributors to #opensource projects after laying off a ton of core contributors to those projects!

Another laptop cover completed that will be joining my previous ones on my office wall! 💙 I love seeing the progression of my career through these stickers! 🤩

Looking back on the last four years, what worked, what didn't.

Explaining to Americans at Kubecon that in the UK, if you want to say you are drinking two drinks at the same time, you say "double parked" because "double fisting" means something very different here
