The “truck backing up” beep should always be illegal, but especially before 7am 😡

Me: “I really don’t want any swag from this #kubecon” Also me: sticker haul

All of the after parties at #kubecon are a blast, but #sig-boba has a special place in my heart. Thank you @capileigh.bsky.social!!!

2000 steps and I don’t even have my badge yet #kubecon

Huzzah! I am actually airborne and en-route to #kubecon NA! It seems like I will actually arrive in time for the event that I'm hosting tonight. See you all soon! luma.com/4ana7uds

bluesky branding refresh unveiled

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for proving that it actually is possible to be more despicable than Mitch McConnell

I only have 8 intra US flights planned within the next two weeks. This will be fine, right? Dems please hold strong. Make this worth it.

Some fun shots of @joshleecreates.bsky.social and me at #kcdPorto. You can see me with my mask peeking out of the top right corner of the second pic, as we play with a real working Macintosh of the Olden Days.

So excited to be back in Porto for my SECOND KCD Porto tomorrow! Aaaaand, this is the third leg of my European tour with @joshleecreates.bsky.social, as we get ready to speak about #OpenTelemetry vendor neutrality. Catch us on November 3rd at 14:10 in the Synvert room at the Alfândega do Porto. 🤘

Apropos of nothing: now would be a real cool time for the CNCF to realize that North America includes both Mexico and Canada and decide that KubeCon NA can be somewhere other than the US Just a thought

I want my damn em-dashes back. I've been using them for ~17 years... "Please take a moment to review yours and remove any obvious signs of AI-generated text such as words like “delve”, long dashes (—), or other unusual phrasing."

@aly.ruffruff.party I finally got around to configuring Niri and holy cow I love it

Dear Apple and Google and carriers - the FCC is obviously worthless now, so please fix this shit.

And now my watch has ended … until Monday at least 🫠

@joshleecreates.bsky.social and I are on a roll with our talk tour - one talk 4 conferences! We first gave this talk at CND Austria and KCD Warsaw last week, and our next stop will be OSOD next week. The best part? It's an online conference, so NO EXCUSES! 😁 Register: osoday.com

Are you even a vim user if the j/k keys aren’t the most worn out on your keyboard? (For me also “c” because Apple decided the escape key is superfluous…)

Portland 🔥

#KCDWarsaw2025 has exceeded all expectations! Great food, great company, great hospitality, and Warsaw is just amaaaazing! Thanks to everyone who came to see @joshleecreates.bsky.social and me speak today, and thanks for the great questions! 💜💜

Is a café not just a streaming pipeline for caffeine?

“Java is the new COBOL” o/h at #kcdwarsaw

Collaborating with @adrianamvillela.bsky.social has been just the best. And our talk is pretty good too, if I do say so myself. We’re about to uncover the truth of vendor-neutrality in #OpenTelemtry at #kcdwarsaw

Hello from Warsaw! Wowie, what a an amazing city!! I’m gearing up for #KCDWarsaw2025 TODAY with @joshleecreates.bsky.social as we talk about what #OpenTelemetry vendor neutrality means. If you’re around, hope to see to there!!

@adrianamvillela.bsky.social and @joshleecreates.bsky.social showed us why OTEL didn't follow the pattern of xkcd.com/927/ Great talk! It always helps to understand where the purpose of one tool ends and others need to take over. #CloudNativeDaysAustria

@joshleecreates.bsky.social and I are getting ready to go on stage at Cloud Native Days Austria today at 13:00. Hope to see you there!!

My #ClickHouse and #OpenTelemetry talk from #sreday london is now available on yt: youtu.be/wGBQU9sykL0?...

My green flag for a cafe is when they don’t ask you “what size” you want your cappuccino

when I say “storage is cheaper now” this is what I mean topicpartition.io/definitions/...

It’s official, EH! Canada’s FIRST KCD is taking place in Toronto in May 2026!! MARK YOUR CALENDARS and get ready for some awesome Canuck vibes!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 www.cncf.io/blog/2025/09...

going to attempt to raise a trilingual child (my husband will speak to xem in English, I will speak to xem in Spanish and Nix). this is going to require a lot of Tylenol

More conferences please do this. Sincerely, a guy with way too many conference shirts. #cndaustria

In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich." A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

gonna start replying to the pig butchering texts with a link to nohello.net

Finally got to meet @didiviking.bsky.social in person at #sreday - her talk showcasing the @victoriametrics.bsky.social cardinality explorer was great!

@hazelweakly.me Ok, I give in. I'm adopting "Lakehouse" terminology and have added it to my personal spell-check dictionaries. One day I will represent a technology that is already in spell-check... one day.

My favorite game to play in touristy parts of the UK is: “which side of the sidewalk are we walking on now?”

Got fired from my job for saying that Samantha on Bewitched didn’t really wiggle her nose, she was just kind of twitching her mouth back and forth.

SO sorry about the treatment your specialists and engineers received at the hands of our secret police goon squad. That's normally something we reserve for a different race of people who we like even less, hope you understand. Please come back

“Developers will never ask you ‘what file system is that?’” - @patrickmcfadin.bsky.social #COC25

Our upcoming talk has the best slides, just sayin’

Really enjoyed @zeroshade.columnar.tech’s talk at #COC25 - TIL when one would use Arrow and Parquet together 💡

If you only read one thing this week, this should be it. Invisible stigma shapes how people with disabilities show up in user research. The main issue: they are invisible, so, easy to miss. Laura Wissiak explains how masking, disclosure, and social bias affect interviews.

I've been having fun working with @joshleecreates.bsky.social on our KCD Warsaw talk, which includes coming up with fun graphics. Here's one we came up with yesterday. If you're Canadian, you'll get this take on the "No Name" brand using #OTel. If you're not, look up "No Name brand". It's a hoot.

I have a confession: I reinstalled Outlook for Mac... of my own free will.

hate to be a this guy, but this

Open formats are arguably even more important than open source - which is one of many reasons why I love #OpenTelemetry - join me in Elicium 1 for an intro! #ossummit

I’m not usually one to indulge in meta-discussions about #DevRel, but @horovits.bsky.social ‘s excellent talk at #ossummit spawned some very interesting ideas and conversations! With the announcement of the formation of the DevRel Foundation under the LF, I’m excited for maturity.

@aeva.online: “we went from no cloud to no code” @hazelweakly.me: “no-code is just somebody else’s code” 😂🤣😂

Only @hazelweakly.me could “accidentally write the GitHub actions for the entire Haskell project” … in a day or two. “And now everybody is using it!” If you’re not as prolific as she is, be careful what you release for others to use 🤪 #ossummit
