I've done a whole bunch of talks, interviews and stuff on other people's YouTube channels over the years so I'm going to try and catalog them here.
First up is a video with my good friend STÖK in which I demo some big bounty workflow stuff.
This one is special.

A Red-tailed Hawk that had just flown in to perch along the path. Check out the pupils! The pupil in the sunlight is smaller, while the pupil in the shade is larger. Most raptors can adjust their pupil size independently based on the amount of light that is reaching the eye, which optimizes vision.

A lot of folks know me for one or two posts, and might not know I've created nine (9!) visual explanations of computer science topics, aimed at practitioners.
If you're looking for things to read this Thanksgiving, I think you'll love them.
Computer science is a lot of fun, when explained well. ❤️

Gooners never say die
Overheard my kids saying "Gooning" to each other. Me being of a certain age shouted "I love that film" apparently Gooning is not the Goonie. My two girls 12 and 16 were horrified and in fits of laughter at me.

One lesson from yesterday's AWS outage is that we found a flaw in the advice to "have a Signal groups with core staff as a backup channel during outages". (So change that to also have their phone numbers so you can use WhatsApp or Telegram or SMS if needed.)

Ageing is realising shoe comfort matters. I used to wear pointy formal shoes for work, but upgraded to Doc Martens. Now realised they're too heavy and got some Skechers. Old.
