Today I'm ending my 12-year VMware journey. When I joined, "cloud native" was barely a concept. We built teams that created and improved systems that became industry standards. This one goes out to all the exceptional engineers who made this remarkable. Next? Details tomorrow, so sit tight 😀

Another weekend, another tournament.

Another thing that’s has been occupying a lot of my time on the weekends lately is following my daughter through various fencing competitions across the country. She started taking classes in July last year and went all in 😀

Back in the saddle after a pretty cool Christmas break. One of the highlights of the break was that I drove to Denmark and back in 4 days! First proper road trip with an EV, and no issues whatsoever. Visiting Billund and the Lego House was pretty awesome.

I mean, I don’t know if this counts as bragging or what, but I’m definitely the only person I know that owns an industrial-grade AC unit that is installed on a 19 inch rack sitting on the roof.

Very proud to see @thenikhita.bsky.social on the main stage at #Kubecon

First batch of my spicy olive oil is ready: Ligurian olive oil (sweeter and less tangy), and Calabrian sun-dried chilis.

For those wondering why I have that header pic in my profile… this is one of the best pieces of hardware (and possibly software) built in the 90s.

@dinel.net my regular cocktail bar is doing a full Japanese-inspired cocktail menu. This is a Japanese twist on the Negroni. Not bad.

Blue skies are back. #terriblepun
