Ever wanted to peek under the hood of Kubernetes and discover what makes it tick?

Now you can.

Can anyone recommend any fully-local meeting transcript apps for Mac? Ideally with individual speaker detection.

I've been meaning to write more about "the unpatchable 4", which are a set of Kubernetes CVEs for which there are no patches, you need to mitigate them with configuration or architecture choices.

First up is CVE-2020-8554.

So excited to be speaking at Platform Engineering Day in Amsterdam 🚀

The work that I'm doing is the culmination of my work and everything I've learned as Cloud Native consultant, DevRel and Platform Engineer for the past decade.

And I cannot wait to share it with all of you ✨

A Practical Guide To Inner Sourcing Your IDP - Lian Li, lianmakesthings Monday March 23, 2026 13:20 - 13:45 CET Bridging the gap between developers and platform teams is hard. Scattered documentation, fragmented language and hidden knowledge leave developers frustrated, while platform teams struggle to understand what devs really need. Treating platforms as products is a start, but treating them like open source projects unlocks real collaboration, allowing developers to contribute and maintain features. In my roles as Developer Advocate and platform engineer, I have years of experience working with highly bureaucratic organisations helping to improve developer experience and adoption. In this talk, I’ll share concrete steps to identify contribution opportunities, set up maintainable processes, and measure engagement. You’ll leave inspired with ideas to boost adoption, reduce friction, and turn your platform into a collaborative, thriving ecosystem.

What happens when Fluent Bit's built-in functionality isn't enough for your use case? The plugin architecture lets you extend your pipeline with custom logic — including Lua scripts — right out of the box.

Any other Sendgrid users been getting a load of phishing emails lately, mostly pretending to be API failure messages?

I don’t even use Sendgrid anymore but I’m getting a lot of emails to the email I signed up with (unique) that are from a whole bunch of different email addresses. 😒
