Kubecon CFP tips:
✅ Use real world case-studies of work you've done
✅ Invite a diverse range of speakers to tell your story
✅ Make it fun and memorable, do something silly
✅ Tell a story you'd want to hear
✅ Make the outcomes more than the audience hearing you talk; what's this going to give them?
One of the things I like about my work is the “okay so what?” Asked around every corner. Bullshit is quickly found, and you’re forced to come prepared with data

I released py2rs.info a few weeks ago to help Python developers make the jump to Rust. What's missing that would help you?
py2rs.info - Python to Rust for Developers
Learn Rust coming from Python. Tutorials, guides, and resources for Python developers transitioning to Rust.

The first thing I do when I open a doc is zoom in.
Not just me right?

I see barely anyone from the UK on Bluesky, which is increasingly making it alienating to me

Learning a new language isn't a way to increase my leverage.
Learning how to speak to a new cohort or community totally is. Those were some fundamental truths I learnt quite recently that have helped me enormously at AWS.

@civo.com Navigate feels like it might be the next Kubecon for me. Small scale, lots of interesting people, think it's time I put forward a CFP.

If I had a $ for every company combining VSCode with MCP to make IDE's. I would have at least $10

Not having a desk at work really grinds my gears. I end up hot desking every day, it's stressful.

I wrote something in cursor, and the time I spent wasn't where I anticipated. It got the idea of the codebase and what I was trying to do. What it didn't grok was integration/unit tests failing shouldn't be replaced by wholesale code edits, they exist that way for a reason.

I'm convinced frontend development is basically over.

I must be in the minority that thinks MCP is a bunch of overblown hype for sending JSON over RPC.
