Hi everyone! An ongoing reorganization at my current employer has prompted me to seek for a new role and would appreciate your support. I'm open to remote (anywhere) and hybrid roles in Switzerland. I have 25+ years experience as a software developer, 8 as devrel www.linkedin.com/posts/aalmir...

Have you ever had enough of how your business was treating your code and then was angry that features weren't delivered in time? I had enough of it 10 years ago and wrote a blog post about it! WDYT - has anything changed over the last decade? toomuchcoding.com/post/2015-10...

I wrote this blog post 10 years ago... I was fed up with how the business was forcing the IT to take gigantic technical debt and then was angry that features weren't delivered in time 🤷‍♂️ WDYT - has anything changed over the last decade? toomuchcoding.com/post/2015-10...

If you're interested in observability you can listen to the Infoq podcast where I was a guest :)

I'm excited to announce that I've joined the #SpringFramework team at @hero.dev! Can't wait to provide my expertise in that domain and many others 😊

A small reminder... This week is my last in the Spring and Micrometer team. Last 10 years were a blast! I'll inform about my new gig next week. Stay tuned :)

Wow, 8 people on board doing mentoring with me 😱 If you're interested in joining the crowd, please ping me :) I already had around 30 free 30 minute meetings in 1,5 month - that's a lot! If you want to have a chatregister here calendly.com/marcin-grzej... #mentoring #it #freeconsultation

Another day with #argocd. Question : has anyone been versioning not only the application image but also the git ops configuration? If so how did you do it?

Call for review! For #argocd I've described the proposed flow hello-world-argocd-org.github.io/hello-world-... - does anyone see any flaws in these flows? ;) Your feedback is invaluable!

Another day with #argocd. I've managed to have almost all gh actions passing and a lot of different tests github.com/hello-world-... that caught a couple of errors that I've made. It's amazing that you can setup kind cluster and deploy argo, run helm, lints etc in no time!

I've been working recently with ArgoCD and I have to admit that it's a really impressive project. Here you can find hello word repositories together with GH Action based tests github.com/orgs/hello-w... feedback is more than welcome!

2 more mentees on board, In total I have 5 mentees! I would never have thought that that many people would be interested in doing mentoring. I still have room for 2-3 people so If you want to join, drop me a line! 😀

To all the devops out there! What is the best practice to store the git ops part of the code? Do you store everything in a separate repo for the given project and all the env values are stored in their folders? Do you have a mono repo? Do you have any examples to share? #ArgoCD #DevOps #GitOps

Something was wrong with the Calendly mobile application. Through the web page I've managed to finally update the schedule for this month. Grab while there still are seats left :) calendly.com/marcin-grzej...
