Ask yourself, "Does this meeting invite bring me joy?" If not, thank the inviter and decline it.

When I joined AWS, I changed my note taking app to a markdown editor (code-server, VScode, or nvim) and a directory structure with files per meeting. It’s grepable, easy to enrich, and I sync work notes with internal git servers.
It’s the best note taking app I’ve ever used.

I'm going to say this straight up. It's fucking rude to ignore your co-workers timezones. I don't schedule meetings at 9 AM my time for west coast people. Why you booking shit after 5 PM for east coast people?

"Certainly folks are running up to date software."
Nope. They aren't and that's a terrible assumption. Assume people get things working then don't touch it again, ever.

Let me go ahead and squash this before people draw the poorest of conclusions...
I'm not leaving Red Hat because of the vaccine mandate. "Give me all the vaccines and boosters too!"
If you think that's why I'm leaving, unfollow me.

I started my weight loss journey last year when I saw myself on video and wasn’t happy with what I was seeing (280+ lbs). Just weighed in under 230 lbs. I’ve lost over fifty pounds through portion control and walking. I’m in constant pain, if I can do it, you sure as hell can.

Surgery did not go well.
Anesthesia didn’t work AT ALL. We proceeded anyway.
I’m a wreck right now. Pain meds are barely doing anything. I’m in so much pain right now.
I’m going to give it a few hours before calling tomorrow off.

I see Kubernetes as an opportunity for Ops folks to reach across the DevOps divides and help Devs understand what concepts Ops has wrangled with everyday around DNS, networking, infrastructure, etc. Kubernetes is a tool that could improve collaboration along logical boundaries.

A hardy fuck you to anyone who berates people in any profession for taking a break to do literally anything else they want to do with their time. Working in open source is a career people often regret when they take time off. Stop acting like this. This IS the hill I will die on.

I'll be working on an open source tool I had the idea for and shelved because I couldn't support by myself.

I’m putting my foot down. If a state’s policies makes my friends uncomfortable, I’m not going to submit to speak in that state. Not even virtually. Period.
Event organizers: I know others are silently doing this. I see no need to hide this.
Yes, this is my opinion/view.

Never in my life did I think I’d be reading at a Catholic funeral mass.
I said her name once (her name makes me cry often).
One part was hard, but got through it; no issue.
I’ve cried a lot the past few weeks.
Today though it finally felt therapeutic.
RIP Lucy.
I miss you.
