Am I an old because I still think TUI demos are the way to go?

This throwback just surfaced. CC @jeremyrickard.com

If you weren't creative enough to do something before AI please don't start doing it with AI. Glares at AI generated music.

Are ya'll ready for a version of US capitalism in which products are stamped with nonAI sort of like the nonGMO fad? Or do we think dumbo will end us all before then?

Free business idea. Pizza Bialys. Pizza bagels are too doughy, but bialy dough is basically pizza dough already. It’s a round slice for people who don’t want crust. Crust-haters might be an underserved market. Someone should feed these weirdos.

If your product pitch is "Here's two things wrong with Kubernetes that we fix with our platform that isn't Kubernetes" and you don't address ALL the things your platform DOESN'T do that k8s does or at least call out the niche where your platform should be used in place of k8s... please do better.

I ran into the tech teacher while picking up the kids at school (k-8th grade) and offered to donate a pile of mini servers I have laying around. She was like “no thanks”. To which I replied “you don’t want to teach any Linux” and her response killed me. “I want them to be happy” 🤣

Decades later my degree in Geophysics is paying off with a simple dinner time question “Quiz me on my science test tomorrow Daddy”. I did not play it cool when we got to the basics of sedimentary vs igneous vs metamorphic rocks. Bowen’s reaction series graphs were drawn. Eyes were rolled.

Silly project I put together this morning to help me take one massive band practice video and break it down into a video per song. github.com/knee-berts/r...

What do you call the type of person who can go a year without booze as long as they don’t go out where other friends have a drink?

In my happy place waiting for things to kick off. Looks like Trey is testing, or trolling us nerds, a new dumble.

Live at 5, pyromaniac gets burned to death while trying to set fire to a gas station.

What a weirdo

Watched this interesting talk on how Facebook is converting Slurm to run on k8s and chuckled a bit when they said "we wrote a wrapper cli around helm in rust to we could abstract helm from the researchers" This is a hilarious application of Rust and I am here for it. youtu.be/UJJ5a2B5S4k?...

@savissavvy.bsky.social is a master of her craft. She can make any scrub sound palpable in an interview while taking raw material taken like Ameenah’s and let it shine. Proof - siliconangle.com/2025/07/29/g...

This article from @wired.com is a bit unclear. Was OpenAI using Claude APIs to benchmark their competition or using it in their SDLC because ChatGPT wasn’t good enough of at code assist? www.wired.com/story/anthro...

Some say AI is sycophantically buttering humans up to please them. I say they are just seasoning their dinner.

AI has only exasperated the true bottleneck in software engineering, PR review.

Lately I can’t seem to get away from tech people talking about how important they are. Phish shows, baseball game, fucking grocery store. NO ONE GIVES A SHIT! Find something more interesting to relate with people about.

Friendly reminder that 95 Glen Falls Reba is the best Reba of all time.

No better way to celebrate Father’s Day than to have a morning jam session in which I’m crushed by the talent of my daughter and sister.

The fascination folks have with slapping a UI in front of some automation as the panacea to big company computer problems continues to make me grumpy.

I'm in a funk. I know I need to be grateful for the general state of my life, but faaack I am struggling to ignore all the nonsense around me and focus on the good right now. I think I need an entire year off the grid.

Hey! You! Do you find yourself missing my charming voice? I’ve got the panacea for you right here where @boredabdel.bsky.social , Jon Li, and I chat about multi cluster workloads on the @kubernetespodcast.com kubernetespodcast.com/episode/253-...

Much respect and gratitude to anyone who has lost a family member who was serving.

Things are happening ya’ll.

Question for my friends that are San Francisco “aware”. What kind of fun thank you gift could I get sent to someone’s house that is foodie adjacent?

The Knicks made me sad tonight.

@bettyjunod.bsky.social I’m in the eye of Sauron.

One annoying part of the evening was born out of these 5 Texans, several with masters hats on and other generally good indicators of entitlement. See, there were 5, but only four seats, and they spent the night encroaching on the folks to the right of them.

Sturgil Simpson might be the best live show on earth right now. 3 plus hours of a sick rhythm section, lyrical guitar playing all around, and some tasteful covers.

Knicks! Leggo!

My inbox is at least 60% conversations with an llm shim on each side now. So BOOOORING

I remember when tech social media would lose its shit when mega tech companies laid of thousands of folks. I guess we are all normalized to it now? Or fear retaliation?

I do not think Trump will be the last facist leader of this country. There is way to strong of a percentage of humans that would rather have a facist leader than admit they were duped into electing one.

@dawestheband.bsky.social more doomscroller less Brad Paisely please

Yooooo! Two more times! Leggo!

Let’s go! #knicks

I this list might need an update

I just saw a MAGA site this www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Art... and Somehow stretching that into “We going on the blockchain. When the dust settles the economy is going to melt faces.” They really just can’t admit they were wrong

How can you complain about a no call at the end of the game when the refs let this fly for the last 3 quarters!

44 - arrgggggg Ye old fuckers (40 and up) show thine selves

Yo. So my daughter wants blue hair for the summer. What kind of dye should I look into that is safe and can be “removed” before the school year starts in August? Her school doesn’t permit fun hair :(

“distant third place” I hear that quite a bit but can’t see a single bit of data to support that claim. This is largely bc MSFT includes onprem Windows Server and SQL licensing as cloud revenue.

While every contribution to Kubernetes matters. I think it’s pretty impressive to point out that Googles contributions to Kubernetes last year exceeded all contributions from Microsoft and AWS combined over the entire existence of The project.

@thomasfuchs.at any particular reason I’m on your snake oil AI list?

Made it in time to catch a packed out meetup for Platform Engineering

Coming in hot to #googlecloudnext. If you are there come check out my talk later on today. Edward Villalba, Trey Caliva, and I will be talking about how Abridge is using GKE and Fleets to build an Infernce serving platform on. cloud.withgoogle.com/next/25/spea...
