Do I know product people looking for a role in platform engineering? Sr role, MN ideal but not required.

Want to know why System Initiative is going to change your life if you're an infrastructure engineer? We've added full coverage for every AWS service, through using the Cloud Control API and CloudFormation for unsupported resources. It's been weeks, not months, from a standing start.

This statement shifted something in me. I can’t stop thinking about what it looks like to invest tens of millions in training intelligence into people.

Anyone in my socials familiar with #hugo and digital gardens? I have a great workflow from my private obsidian to published Hugo posts but looking to customize my taxonomy and partials to match my mental model.

@maggieappleton.com I’m so inspired by your digital garden write up. Thank you for sharing it!

At the inaugeral platform engineering meetup in MN and enjoying the in person community of it. It's odd to not see you here @dberkholz.com so sending some love your way 👋

“Same shape! It’s the same shape, dada!” My 3yo noticing a triangle shape on the wall matches her magnetile and blowing her own little mind. Kids are magic 🪄

“And then, AND THEN, he had Serena out there crip walking, your honor!”

Had no Super Bowl fomo but now I’m frantically googling how to stream Kendrick 🙏

It’s like sketching a circle In the dirt with a pointed stick Knowing the wind’ll kill it someday Still it calls my burning wish for now

Thank you for this morning of fat snowflakes, Minneapolis ☃️

I tried out replacing “have a nice day” with “enjoy this waking nightmare” and it felt right — highly recommend.

It's either great, or not.

Had this conversation again this week. Access does not reduce the benefit of expertise. It can reduce the barrier for entry. To conflate the two is an error.

I have been adjacent to these attempts my whole career and can’t +1 this enough
