If you're awake, join us for some coding fun! www.youtube.com/watch?v=COFV...

Seeing the NATS situation unfold is upsetting, frankly. Open source relies fundamentally on trust and long-term commitment, values that the @cncf.io consistently upholds. Communities deserve more than abrupt reversals.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dElMKUJrZpQ

This is *exactly* why the @cncf.io was created. A safe space for community and companies to come together with longitudinal guarantees of stability and fair ground rules. There are no backsies. @synadia.bsky.social? @derekcollison.bsky.social? This is not ok. www.cncf.io/blog/2025/04...

I sat down with @onlydole.dev to talk about the great community behind the @cncf.io. Just in time for #KubeCon! 😁

⛅️ Wouldn’t you find it fitting if I told you that the word “nuance” can be traced back to the Latin word for cloud?

This is what is meant by a “blanket statement.”

"Different Teams, Same Screams. #opensource" cc @onlydole.dev

This is KEY for people as they learn - craft a space where people can focus on growing instead of rule alignment.

Is there a metal cover of Pink Pony Club yet?

It’s wonderful to get outside today and experience, sun, wind, and some beautiful sights!

JavaScript’s longevity may be a safe bet, but how can we think about programming in an AI-influenced future? AI excels creatively, yet struggles at scale, raising the question of whether natural language can ever truly replace code. What are your thoughts? www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6T4...

Ever seen code so tangled senior engineers surrender? @gottschlich.bsky.social and I have! Check out this conditional that would take hours to simply unravel. This is what Merly finds...control expressions so complex they're frozen in time because no one dares to touch them. youtu.be/joNaEv84S4E?...

New machine, who dis?

My 2025 starts with the complete California tech corridor speedrun: LA -> Palo Alto -> LA -> SF. Finally achieving that California state of mind.

Sharing a gem from @sarahedo.bsky.social that’s resonating deeply with me this holiday break 🤩

**This Website is Hosted on Bluesky** This weekend I found myself digging through the AT Protocol specifications and the Bluesky Personal Data Server (PDS) implementation. In doing so, I discovered that I could setup a website that is fully hosted on Bluesky. danielmangum.com/posts/this-w...

Code is the tool; vision is the catalyst

Kubernetes apparently made it into an NCIS episode - DURING KubeCon. I guess theres any clear indicator that K8s has hit peek adoption, its that it gets used as techno-jargon to explain things in TV 🤣 Thanks @thisisnotapril.bsky.social for the find. youtu.be/AzrHurE_PSI

💻 Remember, if you're on a Mac, you can clean up your desktop by having screenshots sent to another folder: defaults write com.apple.screencapture location whatever-the-pwd-of-folder-is (then do killall SystemUIServer)

Always choose desktop backgrounds as interesting as @mrbobbytabl.es does 😂

Sage advice: "Ignore hot takes from people who watch others do the actual work." 🙃

This site has launched with two great examples and several in the queue! Is there a reference architecture or cloud native pattern YOU want to share? Anything that can be made more clear? PRs welcome!

I love the culture we have developed around thanking and recognizing our peers. It's my favorite part of @kubernetes.io ♥️
