Wrote a blog post about invisible pods which dont show up with kubectl get pods.

To all the folks traveling to Kubecon @ Atlanta, I wish you safe travels to and back from Kubecon. I hope there are no difficulties on your travels and that any travel issues are quickly forgotten by all the fun you will have at Kubecon.

Within the last few months, we have seen outages affecting everyone on AWS, GCP, and Azure. SLA’s have probably become a big conversation point across engineering teams.

This isn't ‘'renting a server.' It's leasing access to a whole sprawling, capital-intensive, technically-capable system that must be just as available in Cairo as in Capetown, just as functional in Bangkok as Berlin. Particularly given the high stakes use cases of many who rely on Signal. 6/

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…
It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

I had a laptop with 8GB of RAM, and when I opened Chrome, Slack, and IntelliJ, it would render my laptop unusable. Then if I wanted to use Docker I had to kill Chrome and Slack just to get some space for dev work.
All I do is open a few tabs in Chrome here and there - and an hour later my computer is jerky and lags.
I check, and every single time it's Chrome taking up well over 16GB.
In 2025 I still don't understand how memory can sprawl so much in browsers, and why
*kills Chrome*

I created a second brain with Claude and honestly the questions it asked me to understand my thought process was very thought provoking. I took me sometime to go through it but it actually gave me some clarity about myself as well. This was a great tip from @charalanahzard.bsky.social!

I have tried different news apps like ios news, google news, smart news, ground news, etc. Kagi News feels like the most polished version of all other alternatives. There’s still room for improvement but I like this approach.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.
‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.
But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Is it just me or sales cold calls are on the rise? I understand that this is probably more effective than cold emails but they can be rather annoying when you are in the middle of something and might be expecting an important call. (1/2)

I got 12/21. I couldn’t believe some of these.
I'm totally fine with this score
I scored 12/21 on e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

I bought the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 months ago because I loved the campaign of the original game so much. I bought the PS5 disc version and this is the worst experience I’ve ever had with a game. 🧵

Landlines, OMG!. Back in the day, we used to memorize the sound of each number. If we wanted to talk late at night, we would first hit redial, write down the number from sounds, and then call our friends. After the call, we would dial in the number so redial was set back to what it was. 😉
Getting a phone call at home on the landline, picking it up, then running upstairs and picking up the phone upstairs, then running back downstairs and hanging up the downstairs phone so that you can talk upstairs privately
What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?
Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.
Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

It is astonishing that Apple’s hoopla around AI (Apple Intelligence 🙄), and they did not add a summary feature to Apple News. That’s such a low-hanging fruit that literally every news app is doing.
