Catching up on recorded shows because the company made fancy dinner plans for every business division except mine and it's a delight any time Keith Carradine shows up on a show. This week it's High Potential.

Learned today that our final SPARC Solaris boxes were shut down last week.
End of an era - I built some of those boxes nearly 20 years ago!
I am actually sad no one called me to type “init 5” on a least one of them 😭

The excitement I had when I found a company like this locally — I can’t wait for them to tackle my basement renovation.
I had an all woman/nonbinary team for my renovation and…I don’t know if I can go back. It was incredible.

They told me to go for it, so I’ll be speaking again during the upcoming FinOps Foundation call
I've been asked to speak on a FinOps panel, which normally is a no-brainer to accept, but with new leadership it's like... idk, am I permitted to do this still?
I miss my old CTO.

Every time I think it would be insane to travel with my own pillow, I get a room with dead pillows. I have 4 stacked trying to get comfortable.
Coop pillows for life. I need to just suck it up and get one for travel.

Angel's Colorado house is gorgeous but it's in Douglas County. Meh.
Plop that house in Cherry Hills Village and it wouldn't look out of place, and frankly, I'd rather live there than Larkspur

“Authority” 🤣
If I’m smug, it’s because I’m smarter than you and actually know my Constitutional rights.
I’ve had cops try me before and you don’t want to try the child/grandchild/niece of a cop who also was pre-law/crim.
