Wait, so ARM is little-endian? The perfidy! The effrontery!

Shooting some videos about Kafka Connect today, which is deadly serious business.

Me: *takes survey* Culture Amp: "LOVE ME!"

Any Bay Area photographers around here? I’m looking for a vantage point to capture a time lapse of the fog coming in over the hills. Thinking more Peninsula-ish than in the City.

@amyhermes.bsky.social just followed me. Happy New Year, Amy!

Merry Christmas from Mrs. Claus and me. /cc @swimflythrive.bsky.social

I hope everyone who celebrates is planning to have this awesome of a Christmas.

Not all of my #advent posts are for the lulz. This one gets me every year. "It's okay. He's here."

It probably didn't happen, but hey, it's Christmas.

Don't settle for creedally uninformed mall Santas, people!

Marmee March was an Effective Altruist.

"CMake isn't a build system; it's a build system generator." Okay, well, now I have two problems. (Happily cmake.org is more straightforward than this. But reading tutorials that try to tell me I am not fighting with a build system? Tim: 🤬.)

This is a smart match.

Git submodules are great. They're an elegant twist on Git's model of the world that almost makes C's approach to dependency management (to wit, "What, you need more than a filesystem, princess?") into something workable.

Becoming a Data Streaming Engineer isn't easy. Kafka, Flink, schema governance, event-driven microservices...it's not an easy life. So we make courses and tutorials on developer.confluent.io to help, but we also make videos like this. This...is Confluent Developer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ3V...

RISC V, but the L1 cache is in S3

Redis, but in S3 instead of RAM

Americans don't do enough creative Advent calendars. Sure, we'll do 24 chocolates of 24 single-malt whiskeys or whatever, but 24 days of Flink tips? Those always seem to come from Europe. Enter Konstantin Knauf! Today's Flink tip is about EXPLAIN: github.com/knaufk/adven...

The day after Thanksgiving with @swimflythrive.bsky.social

Young woman at the front desk this morning: "Do you know what girl math is? It's a TikTok thing." Me:

I recently looked at some RP2350 PIO code to drive a Hub75 display and I don’t know if I will ever be okay

I think I'm late to the party on this, but second look at Creed, right?

The Current 2025 (Bengaluru) CFP is open: sessionize.com/current-beng... 💥 Open till Dec 19, 2024 💥 Event is Mar 19, 2025 💥 At the Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield Hotel & Convention Center Kafka, Flink, data products, analytics, application architecture...it all fits. Share what ya got.

Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need.

Why was I not informed that Jane Eyre was so awesome? I'm just at the part where she's ten years old and I already want to follow her into battle. (Beautiful writing, too—not at all the indulgent Victorian novel I was expecting.)

Future data streaming engineer studies his subject.

In Denver for a week, working from our Airbnb and visiting friends and family. Stepping outside this morning to fall colors and crisp Colorado autumn air was…good for me. 😊

And we have a meetup at CFLT Headquarters www.meetup.com/kafkabayarea...

Peter Furia is at it again. We are making a video today. It’s a lot.

Maybe the real data contracts were the friends we made along the way.

If I say “certification” (in the context of technology credential-y things), what few words come to mind?

Andrew asks a good question. I'm curious to see the answers!

Ah, one day of activity on the platform, and I've already gotten my first "how r u?" reply from a suspicious account with—how shall I put it?—rather consistently themed pictures posted to it. Plus ça change...

Some hardware hacking on a Saturday morning. Everything’s looks fine, thank you. No problems with that display at all. @raspberrypi.bsky.social

No, there can be no nuance, as I will prove in my upcoming RISC-V prototype that locates the register file in S3.

This is indeed a great tech podcast. Kai does not mess around.
