The person working the desk at the gate announced the breakdown on the intercom for some reason (I never had that happen before!)

My take was also along the lines of "if everyone has priority boarding, then no one does"

I don't know how many people are on this domestic flight but they just announced there're expecting 140 people in zone 2 alone lmao

what's*

Huh!? I was hanging out in that lounge just last week, how did I miss the outdoor patio 😢

hey I've got a piece of toast that I believe is a never released prototype in mint condition dm me and we can work on having it digitized

Coincidentally, there's a significant overlap between KubeCon attendees and the furry community!

I tend to want to live a life of optimism but I can't say I haven't thought about this a lot lately.

That's so intriguing... Why municipal police and not private security personnel?

If paid for by Loblaws, then we're letting for-profit corporations have a stake and interest in our armed police force.

If funded by tax payers, we're subsidizing a billion $ corp that has the ability to afford their own security personnel, and helping contribute to the police budget bloat. 2/2

Oh yeah whoa don't know why I didn't think of the voice assistant but yeah you're right!

Wait, do you have examples?

Most of the ones I can think of are people's family names

Meanwhile the police department gets 10x budgets and all the shiny new toys. And I'd argue the average firefighter risks their lives more than the average police-person.

In this talk, I go through my own winding journey, what breaking into big tech actually entails, and actionable tips and considerations for each parts of the process (preparing, applying, and interviewing). 🌱

I plan on making a video recording and my slides available some time later in the year. 📚

I keep hearing the excuse that hosting KubeCon is logistically difficult because it requires a massive show floor and multiple dozens of rooms for talks and breakouts.

As it comic-cons haven't solved that logistical difficulty decades ago.

FAN EXPO hosts 150,000+ attendees to Toronto every year.

Seriously. Don't tell me that Mexico City (the #1 most populated NA city) and Toronto (the #4 most populated NA city) can't accommodate KubeCon.

If Toronto can host TIFF and FAN EXPO yearly without a hitch, it certainly can host KubeCon's 10,000 attendees and logistics.

I'm so exhausted.

I love abstracts that has a byline with assumptions. "Attendees should be expected to have familiarity with X, Y, Z" helps a lot! And it allows me to pick the talks I want to go to that matches my level of expertise better.

Agreed that if I think >5% of my audience has not heard of something, I would be better off explaining it. Good intents.

But I think it's also understandable to assume the audience at a 201 KubeCon talk knows what a container is, or a 201 GopherCon talk knows how conditionals in Go work, right?
