The magic of seeing ✨ everything ✨ (frontend, backend, user feedback, team notes & sketches) stitched together in one replay.

I may have overestimated how many zucchini plants I needed for my vegetable garden…

I’m traveling with Trenitalia and I’m unreasonably bothered by the white edges around the ticket logo. Can someone put together a quick PR to fix this? 😅

I’ll be speaking at Cloud-Native Days Italy on June 24th about why observability needs to shift left, and what that actually looks like in practice. 👀 If you still need to grab your ticket you can get a discount here: ti.to/apropos/clou...

Most teams I talk to are still duct-taping their debugging and system documentation workflows. If you’re sick of sorting through Postman collections or outdated architecture diagrams—I’m working on a webinar that might interest you 👀

First time at @rejekts.io ! The talks are great, and the hallway track even better 🙌🏻 1 hour and 50 minutes left to @tomjohnson3.bsky.social ‘s talk! 👀

Tech conferences are full of opportunities, but let’s be honest, networking can feel *painful*. In preparing for #Kubecon — and discussing how best to start conversations with my team—I realized that not everyone knows what to do. 👀 [1/3]

It’s been almost two years since my last trip to London, I’m so excited to come back for #kubecon! 👀  If you’re also attending or just want to meet up for a tea and chat, let me know!

👀 Every engineering team I talk to struggles with API documentation and debugging. That’s why I’m so excited about Platform Notebooks—it’s a living, interactive space for testing, documenting, and debugging APIs collaboratively.

That feeling of being the favorite aunt. 10/10 recommend.

You don’t have my permission to stop, human. Continue!

Last week of December: “so how did you celebrate Christmas?” Me: “… I actually haven’t celebrated yet, we celebrate on Jan 7th…😅” I can finally answer without long explanations!

The bug fix has gone to the dark side.

When did cold emails become so passive aggressive?!

Gartner's conference banner image is either the saddest choice possible or a genius-level meme attempt.

Wanna know what it's like living in Italy? We received yesterday a letter from a lawyer to remove an Amazon review because the seller didn't agree with it. #ItalianBureaucracyForTheWin

The worst time to start building a community is when you need help.

Me randomly: .... you know how (theoretically) you could travel to the past because you have more evolved bugs than everyone else, but not to the future because everyone else has more evolved bugs and it'll kill you. Kids bring back the more-evolved-future-bugs from kindergarten.

Just waiting for me to get back home 🥲❤️

I’ve been reading a book about an FBI detective who’s transported to a late-19th-century-type world (ie. just starting to have cars around). And one of the inventions she recommends is TRAFFIC LIGHTS without even a mention for roundabouts. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Great architecture diagrams mean fewer surprises, faster debugging, and smoother scaling. They bring order to chaos in distributed systems. #systemarchitecture

My tattoo artist asked if I wanted an American robin or Eurasian one when I went for my tattoo. I think the choice was pretty obvious 😍

I recently attended an event with these flyers on the tables. No hate to the organizers… but asking for genuine feedback is one thing and buying reviews is another. Not a great vibe.

[1/] I could not concentrate on work on my 11 hr flight back from Kubecon, so here's my movie marathon review: 🎬 Deadpool & Wolverine: moderately funny, too much gratuitous violence and not enough plot 🎬 InsideOut 2: I ugly cried 🎬 IF: ...is this the prequel to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends?

Attending #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon in Salt Lake City was a series of firsts for me: 🌟 My first time at this event 🌟 My first visit to Utah 🌟 My first experience at a conference this huge – over 9,000 attendees! 🚀 It was an unforgettable experience.

Blown away by @thenikhita.bsky.social ‘s #kubecon keynote. She delivered such a flawless and engaging talk 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Breakfast in the states is the best, but, US peeps, we need to talk about your ice obsession. It’s breakfast. In November. In Utah. You don’t need ice.

#kubecon food was surprisingly good. Or maybe just the veggie version? 🤔

SLC is much prettier than I expected. I’ve been up since 5am but this view was worth it! #kubecon

My first #kubecon party doesn’t disappoint: @suseglobal.bsky.social went all out for a party at the Natural History Museum of Utah - I loved it 😍

Look at how spectacular is the Venetian lagoon at sunrise 😍

I lived in a few different countries and once I tried to explain the paradise paradox to my niece in Serbia who has never traveled outside the country. She didn’t believe me. Maybe you can truly understand this paradox only if you experience it. sketchplanations.com/the-paradise...

The most vicarious embarrassment I experienced while listening to a podcast: Interviewer: what are some ways in which your product teams operate that others may not be? Interviewee: we eat our own dog s**t 🐕💩 She obviously meant “dog food” but I can't stop thinking about this.

This is my first time at a seed-round startup and this article had some interesting insight into the dynamics of engineering teams. ...Although I've seen some of this in larger orgs too 😅 marcgg.com/blog/2024/07...

Ok, this is how far along I’m for #KubeCon prep: - Checked out the talk tracks - Saved my spot on same after conference parties - Overthought my wardrobe a few times since global warming is going strong in Italy and I haven’t even taken out my winter clothes

I'm heading to #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon next week. First time at the conference AND in SLC! 👀 If any other first-timers want to connect or explore the event together, DM me! 👋
