Oh and I need to figure out Christmas gift ideas to give to my family. Cheap ones...but all i want are crazy $400 coffee making accessories. Why is this how we do this? Conceptually it feels like torturing people in order to make them happy later? I just want the coffee stuff. ; ; *adds 🧦 to 📓*

Hey, been a while. Been getting situated at the new job ( K8s engineer @ CoreWeave ), and it's been...a lot to get up to speed on. I can tell I'm getting close to either mastery or redundancy cause I'm starting to tell others that they're wrong about things.

So am I just an old man having a "it's the children that are wrong" moment? I see a lot of statements about how your code shouldn't have tons of comments because it should be self documenting and I'm like, "The comments don't hurt anything, please give me more comments, I need some clues later!"

I did Final Fantasy V Four Job Fiesta this year! Here's my Exdeath clear screenshot. I love how Krile is chillin with shades on:

Every morning, @nubuo.bsky.social makes me a homemade matcha latte, with steamed oat milk, at the perfect level of sweetness. A 24oz drink for barely 100 calories, and when he brings it to me, he calls out “Matcha Latte for Andi!!!” like we’re in a café lol Happy 12th anniversary, love you 💝

Haven't done a status update in a bit, so here goes. My personal cluster API project is on a short hiatus while I deal with tasks related to being the Cluster API 1.11 release lead. I also have both a metric ton of interviews _and_ a new contract gig I'm working out the details of. Overwhelmed!

My cat in a cat bed we call "the bucket": *squeaks and wants me to love her but I'm busy and can't do what she wants right now* Me: "I know, Eclipse, life's hard for everyone right now, just stay in the bucket and ride it out." Also me, dealing with worries about the future: "....ohhhhhh."

Past couple weeks have been really busy with interviews and stealth drops of video games. Finally got more time into my Turing Pi 2 SDK. Having to make decisions I hope I won't regret about data objects versus generic maps. GitHub Copilot fluctuates between helpful and sabotaging.

Really enjoying Gamers Nexus new documentary looking into the impact of Tariff's on the PC industry. Love seeing PC making competitors getting together and agree about things. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W_m...

I've had a fun time being the CI Signal Lead for the Kubernetes Cluster API 1.10 release...so I'm going to stick around and be the Release Lead for the 1.11 release! Looking forward to swapping roles with Matt Boersma for this release!

This week my Cluster API Turing Pi project had its first scope creep! First, I made an attempt at a OpenAPI spec. Then I started writing a Golang SDK for the BMC API. I have some interviews next week, but hopefully i can still get the SDK done so I can get back to the actual Cluster API work.

Continued work on my Turing Pi 2 Cluster API provider this week. Was able to crank out a PR updating the "developing a new provider" section of the Cluster API documentation. Tempted to start a Path of Exile 2 character on the new patch...

Hi, guess I'm here now.
