📟➡️☁️ From early 2000s SMS hacks to modern event-driven APIs! Catch me at #Apidays Helsinki 2025 🇫🇮 on June 3-4 as I revisit dev-in-prod chaos, explore EDA’s evolution ⚙️, and demo some nerdy fun 🤓⚡ Let’s talk APIs, data, and a bit of madness! #APIeconomy #EDA #TechTalk

I tried the @kagi.com small web feature for the first time, and on the third result I got a new post about the latest version of SuperTuxKart, and this just blew my mind. I totally forgot this thing even existed, and to find that it is under active development? Some things truly never change 😅

Complex solutions are often chosen over simpler ones, even when unnecessary. While complexity is sometimes needed, Complexity Bias can make us overlook easier paths. Reflect on your choices and choose less resistance when possible, recognizing multiple solutions exist.

Tomorrow, I will be hosting my first tabletop role-playing campaign as a game master. I have been thinking about doing this since I started with TT RPG about 20 years ago, and I guess it's about time I did something about it 🤓

The idea that if something does not work for you, then it must be wrong for everyone, baffles me. I have seen so many articles that claim they know best because their team did not succeed. There is a reason why the most uttered answer by a consultant is "it depends".

May is both #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth and open source #MaintainerMonth. Coincident? 🤔

Idag er det #fotballtrøyefredag! Setter pris på en donasjon til Barnekreftforeningen, gjerne gjennom spleisen som vi i discordserveren Norsk Fotball har satt opp: spleis.no/NorskFotball

In Oslo, and want to have a Go(od) time? Well, then Go over to this page and join the next Go Oslo meetup! I promise that I won't be speaking at this event, so I won't have the chance of doing any more of those great jokes... 🤓 Thanks to reMarkable for hosting 🥳 www.meetup.com/go-oslo-user...

Someone needs to let Machine Head know that using Scandinavian letters is fucking hilarious for us non-American. I'm looking forward to seeing them live again, but I am more looking forward to hearing everyone at tons of Rock talk about the newest albums while pronouncing all the Ø's in Norwegian.

Why is it that no browser is perfect? Every time I try a new one, there always has to be something that is less than stellar. What browsers are people using these days?

Next up in my "ergo everything" journey, the Logitech MX Ergo S Advanced. While it doesn't seem to have that much tenting, it does actually feel pretty good over time. Not that easy to get used to moving the mouse with only the thumb, but give me a couple of days 😅

I want to start writing articles again. The reason why I stopped was because the easiest things to write, solving technical issues, are boring as hell for me. It's helpful for people, but it doesn't do it for me. I want to write thoughtful articles, but I struggle to finishing them. 1/3

Tomorrow I will be traveling to #Milan for the second time. Last time I did not get to explore the city at all, so this time we will be there for almost a week. Besides the typical tourist stuff, what is worth checking out while there? Anything nerdy is appreciated 🤓

I got everything that I needed out of Easter. Multiple days in a row with nothing but relaxing, gaming, and hanging with my girlfriend and the most hormone-stricken dog ever. OK, the last part I could do without, but I had a lot of surplus energy to deal with it 😅

I just started subscribing to #kagi, a search engine. I have been using "free" search engines for my entire life, but the user experience has been pretty bad for the last decade or more. Paying for a service solves a lot of these problems for me, and my searches are so much more efficient now 🎉

Last day of #KubeCon, and the last project kiosk for TAG App Delivery 😐 But, we do have lightning talks today as well! Come join us at 12pm, spot TAG-A in the project pavilion.

Love seeing Norwegian Public Sector being on stage at #KubeCon & #CloudNativeCon, one of the biggest conferences in the world! Thank you Audun and Hans Kristian, this shows the world that even the public sector can be at the front of technology! #CloudNativeAmbassador #CloudNative #

Today at #KubeCon London, I have much more available time than the other days. If you want to have a chat about the CNCF, Platform Engineering, OSS, or anything in between, reach out! I will be at TAG App Delivery most of the day, in the project pavilion. Or just message me on the CNCF Slack 😊

Got home yesterday from Heathrow. Woke up today, got some food in me, and I am now leaving for Gatwick 🤓 See ya’ll at #KubeCon 🎉

I’m at a place! #MVPBuzz #CloudNativeAmbassador

Come one, come all 📣 For KubeCon London, we will again host Platform Coffee every morning ☕️ Start your day off in the best possible way with some of the best and brightest from the platform engineering community! #CloudNativeAmbassador #MVPBuzz #PlatformEngineering

Learning about building platforms as a product instead of a project and moving from DevOps to DevEx here at @oslo.cloudnativeday.no Our very own Dominic will be talking about similar at the Platform Engineering Day at #KubeCon - colocatedeventseu2025.sched.com/event/1u5lr/...

This week has been awesome! We managed to pull off Cloud Native Day Oslo 2025, our second conference, and it went really well! Met a lot of new and familiar faces, a big lift in attendees from last year, and in general a happy community. Already planing the next one 🤓 #CloudNativeAmbassador

Anyone I know who leads an Azure, Google Cloud, or Cloud Native community group in Seattle? On the 20th, I am traveling to visit Microsoft in Redmond, but I will stay some days in downtown Seattle first. I'd love making some community contributions while over there! #MVPBuzz #CloudNativeAmbassador

After moving from QWERTY to Colemak DH, I keep on writing an F when I wanted to hit the W, so I keep on typing netforks. What does look like? These are the things that keep me up at night.

Currently studying for a #GCP exam, and I must say these Qwiklab-stuff are pretty dope. Hardly need an account to get hands-on with a lot of these things.

Having to fill out foreign tax paperwork is exactly why I founded a non-profit... The joys of looking up foreign terms are hitting me hard this Friday!

Remember, you are good enough. Your worth isn’t measured by others.
