Flying to/from Atlanta does not look like it's going to get easier anytime soon. Best of luck to anyone trying to make it to KubeCon.

7h later than expected, but KubeCon bound at last. Here's hoping flights start clearing up for everyone else as well.

If you're at #KubeCon London, @strongjz.bsky.social and I will be talking about how we're planning to help Ingress-NGINX users migrate to Gateway API. We've got a lot of work left to do, and your feedback is going to be critical to ensure we're prioritizing the right features.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

I think we all know that YAML defines all of these as boolean false:

no, No, NO, false, False, FALSE

But did you know that these are all integers in YAML:

42, 42_, _42, _4_2_, __________4__________2__________

... and they all mean the same thing?

No one gets promoted for paying down tech debt either.

If you can’t measure the impact on the bottom line, you can’t prove impact.

You get what you measure. So if your success metrics suck, so will your product.
