I don't know who needs to see this, as the saying goes, but platform engineering is not just "devops" or "infra" by another name. Platform engineering is about bringing a product sensibility and design ethos to the infra-shaped technical problem space.

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

Everyone watching Pierre Poilievre eat absolute shit in Carleton and respecting Canada's bilingual culture.

It’s nice to have my Seattle back.

Wade Grant won! Musqueam nation - hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaker (a Salish dialect, the Native language most of Metro Vancouver). The first Coast Salish person in parliament, AFAIK.

Our Millennial priest quoted Nirvana during Easter Mass.

North Beach smells like a paper mill. But why.

I got chastised by one of my peers for NOT wearing hoochie daddy shorts to the office today. I like this team.

Don’t move to Seattle, it rains all the time.

Fuck you, Pike Place Market PDA, for pushing out Virginia Inn, a historic place that is even older than you.

Took my two-year old son to Dick’s for the first time. My wife showed how to dip a french fry in her strawberry shake. He took a bite, thought for a moment, and then with a big grin says “happy BIRTHDAY!” So that’s a memory I will have forever.

Buddy and I got @wheatus.com to opine on Seattle tap water. Decent Monday.

Don’t move to Seattle, it rains all the time.

Calling it now: Season 4 flops.

Today in conversations with a PE: “It’s not ephemeral, it’s just something that gets deleted after a couple of weeks” Immediately followed by: “It’s not permanent, it just has existed for five years and we have no plans to remove it ever.”

The lack of “I give you money, you give me product” in certain industries is astounding.

“Everyone should use the API except for me, I should be able to write to the DB directly.” WAT

I’m gutted. I just loved watching this team play.

GO GREEN. That is all.
