It's rare that I get to reflect back on my entire tech career and my philosophy towards work and life, but this interview captures it perfectly. One of the few recordings of myself I've watched end to end. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdUb...

Fantastic interview with @kelseyhightower.com. Discusses DevOps, open source, AI hype and personal growth.
"All paths lead to self-learning"
"When people wear a title, they forget to evolve"
"Senior engineer, junior human"
The story about his first contribution to Kubernetes is inspiring 🎉!

Good video capturing journey of our industry, and the following topics: from servers to containers and serverless, #DevOps vs. #Platform engineering, of course #Kubernetes, of course #AI too 😜, tool sprawl/complexity and what's next? Worth a watch and Kelsey sharing his wisdom and experience!

🎯 That's why I think people are the most important part of the equation.
Im going to add to that: everyone has access to the technology everyone else has access to. Not everyone knows how to put a computer in a Lego cabinet and build Google

I flew to Amsterdam and did an interview with the @jetbrains.com team. We covered everything from DevOps to AI, and why I think it's so important for people to constantly reflect on their careers to avoid having 20 years of 1 year experience.

The deployment inputs you ask for – version, CPU, memory, disk, region – are the API your developers rely on.
VMware, cloud, whatever the backend is… the API is what matters.

I remember when SSL certificates cost more than hosting your website. And good luck remembering to renew it before the old one expired.

For the first time ever, I had to make a payment in crypto.
I can now confidently say that crypto payments combine the speed of a dial up modem and the ease of updating the drivers on a 1998 HP Laserjet printer.

There’s a very surreal conversation I keep having on here where people seem unable to hold two ideas at the same time, and I’m not sure why. It’s simply true that the Big AI platforms like ChatGPT are:
1. Extremely bad for society, in many ways.
2. Very genuinely popular with lots of people.
