Headed to #fosdem - looking forward to it.

Fun times.

While you probably know me best from my work in Developer Relations, did you know I’ve also been a great sales engineer?

If your company is looking for a new sales engineer/solutions architect with experience in infrastructure, DevOps, or related areas, I might be just who you need!

Julia's zines are fantastic. Great to give as gifts, and good way to get an approachable look at complex topics.

For people who are heading to #cfgmgmtcamp - is there a nearby hotel that’s preferred?

I looked at the conference website and didn’t see anything listed.

I got to spend the last week helping to build houses in El Salvador. Our team built 18 houses for people in remote villages who are barely surviving. Helping to build them a secure, dry, lockable house gives them a step forward and a leg up.

Yup. Most experienced people that I know in the tech industry wonder why anything works at all ever.
It’s remarkable that most software stuff works most of the time given the astonishing levels of complexity in modern tech stacks.

lots of discourse on whether there should be a True Detective S5 but only one right answer: hire Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny at their current ages, name their characters Mulder and Scully, make them longtime (work) partners, do not otherwise acknowledge the existence of X-Files in the show

A distinguished professor at MIT who was my undergrad advisor told me that I had no future in computer science.

They didn’t realize I had written the security advisories they were explaining to students in their security class cuz I had published using my handle and that i was in the fucking room.
Tell us a true story from your life that sounds made up.

Finished season 3 of Picard last night.

Really enjoyed that - haven’t watched much Trek in years.

Maybe I’ll start some of the other new series now.
