Another brag, there’s a big doggo sitting next to me at @workdotlife.bsky.social Meet Bailey! He’s a good boy and his tail is like lymphatic drainage massage. Gotta focus on the good things when world is on fire right?

This year’s butterflies have begun to emerge. So far two males and one female. Like this song, always amazing and transformative.

I decided to treat myself at the ice cream truck with a waffle cone, dipped in chocolate with sprinkles, and I deserved it. No regrets.

Just found this random, delightful and so true-to-us pic of @carlagg.bsky.social and I at a great event! (You can’t tell but I was dressed as a dragon)

Oooh @skamille.themanagerswrath.com flips my Q by offering the four questions for #PlatformEngineering teams to ask themselves!

“It’s taking someone’s zero to 1 innovation… and turning it into something lots of other teams want to use.” A huge, riveted #KubeCon audience to learn how to get started with #PlatformEngineering by those who wrote the book on it. @skamille.themanagerswrath.com and Ian Nowland

Lifting off #KubeCon2025 Day 1 with a minor panic attack on the windy cable car. Find me today or tomorrow at #KubeCon to make a short vid or comment below about your favorite question to ask developers what would help make them/you more productive.

Thank you #KubeCon. Don’t love it’s in the platinum lounge where I suspect people need certain access passes to get but wow, was this needed

This is why most puppy owners hate me. I make their pups crazy with my endless (excessive) love.

Not this one tho. One of my fav office dogs Leo lets me pick him up like a baby or stick him in the front of my dungarees to cuddle while I work.
