Hey @chmarny.com , look who's famous! #kubecon

And this misses: over 300,000 *contributors*! Writ large, it's the largest software development project in human history (by a longshot!), with a pace of innovation that no one company could possibly match. There is no innovation like open source innovation.

Wow. 30 seconds in and we've already had two pronunciations of "kubecon" from the keynote stage.

There is nothing more Frankfurt than landing at far Z68 and needing to connect to gate A2. See you soon, Amsterdam! #kubecon

I got to the airport early, got through security quickly (shout-out to TSA personnel working through it!), and had some time to kill...so I took a little walk.

Remarkably useful article on better ways to use Google

I can't believe another #kubecon is upon us. Hit me up!

This is a fascinating story of how technology affects employment in surprising ways. ATM didn't kill bank teller jobs, but the smart phone did! So relevant in our AI age as everyone jumps to conclusions about what jobs are going to "disappear." davidoks.blog/p/why-the-at...

Cool to see this news from my friends at Tetrate

See, that was easy

My hilarious friend Nancy wrote up her INCREDIBLE, EPIC SAGA of traveling from Canada to Norway as a fifteen year old to offer a stuffed horse to skater Kurt Browning as a show of her love. Do yourself a favor and take 10 minutes to read it: nantz14.substack.com/p/a-valentin...

I worked on a few fairly prominent efforts in open source (Istio, OpenAPI), but I think of all of them, it’s gRPC that I think has the coolest story. Pull up a chair and set for a spell (any inaccuracies in what follows are 100% my fault for having a bad memory!).

@mekka.mekka-tech.com is a national treasure. Thanks for reposting this, Mekka! I learned tons from this the first time he posted, and it's worth a reread every year.

I loved seeing this intro-to-gRPC post pop up on Hacker News, and I'm pondering a little "why did gRPC come to be" thread... kreya.app/blog/grpc-de...

This is awesome

We are better together!

Wait "ATProto Records" isn't a music label?

I wonder if @hankgreen.bsky.social and @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social ever get told that they resemble 90s-era Proclaimers.

There are two ways I can interpret the meaning of "champion" in this headline about @kelseyhightower.com, and I think both are 100% valid.

On the downside, the government will have to do tremendous work to refund all of the tariffs collected illegally. On the plus side: Microservices!

Ah, PowerPoint/OneDrive. One day, you're gonna solve this whole "cloud" thing.

It's fun when you realize the plate can spin!

We’re creating more code than we can maintain or understand. With an explosion of new code we’ll see a lot of the code go extinct Even current projects that seemed well supported with company backing are dying without dedicated resources to maintain it

If you are a resident of California, the state now has a portal where you can demand deletion of your personal data from 500+ registered data brokers with a single request form, for free. consumer.drop.privacy.ca.gov

Let's go!

Fuck it I don’t care anymore

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

After successful donation matching yesterday today I'm going to match donaitions for St. Jude Children's Hospital Send me your receipt and I'll send you mine 💞 RT if you can't donate to share with others I'm matching up to $10,000! www.stjude.org/donate/donat...

I'm in the spirit for this Hawaii Bowl. Go Bears!

They make great stocking stuffers!

I donated on behalf of my nephew Joey (who lost a battle with cancer). You should, too!

OMG, @karaswisher.bsky.social just called David Ellison "nepo-mogul" on Pivot and I'm DYING.

Several...but probably opening weekend of Footloose with a bunch of other 14-year-olds...and by the final credits, we were all dancing in the aisles.

In all likelihood, I didn't see @angryblacklady.blacksky.app on my flight to Oakland, but it sure looked like her! (No pics cuz that's creepy)

One thing I like about the Gartner IOCS conference (which I pronounce "aye-ocks" in my head) is that you can live-stream the sessions and can even download the slides from the app. Super useful for attendees.

I kind of dove deep into the @smartless.bsky.social backlog this year...263 episodes deep!

Ah, the Thanksgiving Day Parade: that annual tradition in which singers I don't know lip sync songs I don't want to hear to advertise products I didn't want to buy. Nevertheless, here we go again!

Happy 10th birthday to the OpenAPI Initiative! Being a part of the creation was one of the highlights of my career...and introduced me to some really cool folx (hi, @earth2marsh.com!).

I'll see you there, @bettyjunod.bsky.social !

Thanks to Sudeep Goswami, CEO of @traefik.io for inviting me to join him on The Cube. Had a great discussion with him, Paul Nashawaty and Rob Strechay on the evolving landscape in cloud native land (especially how VMs and containers co-exist in the enterprise). www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XgA...

It's always fun to run into @justingarrison.com -- and this time I ended up with a @fafo.fm sticker! (And if you haven't listened to this month's episode with @elchefe.me, go find it... it's an instant classic. What a treasure.)

Ingress NGINX is being retired! This is a huge deal because its use is so widespread. If you are using NGINX ingress, you *definitely* want to investigate alternatives...before the next big vulnerability hits. Officially, maintenance will end in March, but you're going to want to be off by then.

Hello Atlanta. You're colder than I remembered.

Ah, well, nevertheless.

I was probably 50 years old before I learned that there were people who preferred cake to pie. It was shocking to me at the time.

We have long possessed the ability to have everyone fed, clothed and housed and have chosen not to do so. Now, this regime demands the power to commit more aggravated impoverishment.

It just pisses me off to no end to see people I might otherwise respect donating content to Musk. @neeratanden.bsky.social , it's time. Stop giving fuel to that (dumpster) fire.
