In April I started following a GitHub repo. So I get notifications of PR merges etc. I wish I could remember why I started following it.

Definitely resonate with this.

this resonates with my experience, that a lot of the best designs out there are often accidental

it's also hard to design a good api because "what it gets used for" and "what it is designed for" rarely match up in practice too
I don't really know how to explain how one develops an API. Unlike all this AI nonsense, this is the real "vibe coding." You're basically building out a thing that might have to live for a quarter of a century or more, for people you've never met, with nothing but raw hope that it's going to even work out for their needs, and it will feel good and fun to use. You design on vibes, and hope nothing harshes its mellow when it smacks face-first into the real world. So all you can do is work with fundamentals. Is this thing easy to understand? Is that thing unnecessarily complex? Does this thing need to be here at all? Should we add a thing that makes the complex parts simple for common cases, or should we just make the complex parts less unwieldy? I have to tell you, as someone that has shipped several libraries now...no one is an expert in this field. Some (most?) of the most important programming interfaces, across all of technology, designed by capable engineers, are honestly terrible. Past some obvious rookie mistakes, the best of us are just the most lucky, I suspect.

In a discussion on the resemblance between feudalism and late stage capitalism with my husband; it occurs to me that the wealth in Feudalism was real. In Capitalism it's imaginary.

#Kubecon was wonderful. London is a great city. This is my favorite photo of me at the Dynatrace book signing where Mac Andi and I signed something like 200 copies of our book.

Fun thing. I backed a rowing machine on Kickstarter and got exactly what was promised. This is a big deal for my well-being. My shoulder is permanently partially dislocated. Rowing can help it not dislocate while I sleep.

I'm beyond thrilled to see @kelseyhightower.com picked up the book Max Andi and I worked so hard on. I've met Kelsey in person a few times and he's absolutely inspirational.

I hope you like it Kelsey!

Thanks @kelseyhightower.com for stopping by. Hope you enjoy the book and hope you can decipher my personal note as I have terrible handwriting ;-)

Working on teaching myself a song on the piano and honestly I'm not sure how this is supposed to work with short stubby fingers. I can't reach the notes quickly at all.

Setting up a new social media is always strange. That said I'm glad to be here. :)
