This week was so rough I’ve returned to my most-listened albums from 2020 for comfort.

This quote from a Penn State assistant coach whose boss (head coach) was just fired sounds a lot like what I tell my time in times of change: “Right now is the best time to do your best work. Whatever happens, doing great work today is going to help you tomorrow.”

Flacco, Rodgers, and Scherzer. Big night for elder millennials.

If you live in/near Atlanta or will be there for KubeCon, @gitlab.com is hosting a workshop for developers who want to learn about AI-powered software development. Join us: events.gitlab.com/e/build-with...

It's agents all the way down.

I'm looking for a leader who can inspire and engage millions of developers to build better software faster. This is a manager role but you'll still be hands-on in our content creation and customer engagement efforts. Sounds cool? Check out the job posting for the details.

✨ Introducing custom AI agents and flows - created, managed, and deployed all within GitLab. ✨ My team and I put together a demo showing what a day in the life of a developer with Duo Agent Platform looks like. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mun7...

Originally shared this on LinkedIn where it seemed helpful to a bunch of folks, so added to my blog too: coghlan.me/devrel-candi... #devrel #hiring #careeradvice

Excited for this event and a chance to share with everyone! (and happy to see @allthingsopen.bsky.social on Bluesky, too)

The Dev Advocacy team at GitLab put together some great demos of our newest Agentic AI features. Check em out here and shoot me any feedback you've got: about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-...

Fun use of AI: creating custom coloring pages for the kids. Prompt: Can you draw a coloring page (so black and white only) of Aaron Judge holding a light saber saying “Jo is the best” Result from Gemini:

To avoid confusion with oat milk, I started to call whole milk “regular milk”. Seems to be catching on at my local coffee shop. Is this a thing elsewhere?

@thetrailhead.bsky.social your write up today was 🔥

The absolute chaos that yoire immersed in immediately after stepping outside an NYC airport is such a wild “welcome home” experience. I love New Yorkers so much.

Check out the latest Duo Workflow demo. Stoked on Jeff’s work on this one - a great collaboration with Eng, Brand, and Blog teams, quarterbacked by Dev Advoacy. m.youtube.com/watch?v=etbV...

Happy Friday y’all

The Calvin and Hobbes collections I consumed in middle school were the most influential books I’ve ever read.

Just added new limits in iOS for the worst offending time sucks in my life: news and sports websites and social media. Committed to less phone time in 2025.

My biggest concern with AI is that I'm already able to tell which of my teammates are using it and which aren't. It gives me the vibe that we're already trending towards becoming mediums for the machines.

Be kind to everyone, including yourself.

Are there people who don’t wear an extra layer indoors when it’s cold outside?

A few weeks back I sent a support ticket to Discourse. “Hawk, Co-CEO” with a flying Hawk avatar replied. I assumed it was a pseudonymous shared by their support team. Nope. Turns out it was in fact the Co-CEO. The stoke I’m feeling is a great reminder of the importance of engaging with your users.

I have a good friend who is back on the job market, and they're looking for their next remote role. They have a long, successful history in #opensource, #community, Events Mgmt, Technical Prog Mgmt, and #DevRel & Advocacy.... Would appreciate reposts and replies with opportunities.

Pretty stoked about this news out of re:Invent. GitLab + AWS pairing up to make developer lives better than ever. about.gitlab.com/blog/2024/12...

Who do I need to add to my New York Sports list? #sjubb #yankees #nyg #isles

Used this post to set up my custom domain handle. Thanks, @dnsmichi.dev. Note: if your registrar is not your DNS host, you’ll need to update the TXT record via the DNS host. dnsmichi.at/2024/11/19/m...

Still searching for DevSecOps efficiency? Join me next week for pain points, developer nightmare stories & what if AI could help use case stories 🤔🤗 www.ittage.informatik-aktuell.de/programm/202... I'll be at the @gitlab.com booth for 3 days to chat 💡 @informatikaktuell.bsky.social

Didn’t take a single picture all day. SMH.

In the theme song from the Grinch Who Stole Christmas “you've got garlic in your soul” is an insult but in New York that’s a compliment.

A great American music writer with a fun hypothetical about the great American Thanksgiving concert film.

The NFL season had been pretty meh until last Sunday. Since then we’ve had three great games: - Bills-Chiefs - Bengals-Chargers - Browns-Steelers This MNF matchup has potential, too. Think it’s gonna be a good one.

Feel like the vibes are starting to improve.

Goose seemed very comfortable on the MSG stage. #soulshine

Bad night for SEC officiating. Desperate to keep their CFP seeding.

Jameis Winston. Legend.

This poem by my 7yo has levels.

Thanksgiving weekend snowstorm in the Northeast. Still a ways out but a guy can dream, right?

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

Tyson-Paul is more than just a boxing match. It’s Gen Z vs the world and the final straw of the meme-Ification of everything.

KubeCon folks: I’ll be at the GitLab booth much of the day. We are booth H1, front right corner when you enter. Come say hi.

Been spending more time on the beach than ever this year. Spending time taking photos, fishing, and just enjoying the view. Years past I would have been in the water but things are a bit different these days. This photo is from last night.
