Okay nerds. I got a question.

It's 2025. What are we using for terminal apps on macOS? I was using hyper.is but it hasn't got an update in 2 years and is, I'm guessing, dead.

Requirements: fast, open source, works with macOS nicely, doesn't get in my way

Last week at KubeCon Japan was amazing! This week, back at it at Open Source Summit NA in Denver!

Want to chat about Kubernetes, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, or which Japanese konbini chicken is best? Come find me! #osssummit

Struggling to put into words how I feel about the recent tragedy in Vancouver on Lapu Lapu Day. My heart is aching, along with the rest of our city.

One thing folks can do if you feel so inclined, is to donate blood. It’s always needed, but events like this can be a significant drain on the system

For the first time in my life, I have a drivers license that doesn’t require me to wear corrective lenses. This is strange lol

Jorge is both amazing and a grade A troll 😂
Many people do not know that I put Destiny easter eggs all over projectbluefin.io in order to troll @toph.ca. I'll just put "Slay out" in the docs and ship it.

If I leave one legacy in the #kubernetes community, I hope it will not be for any code I’ve written, systems I’ve built, or governance policies I’ve implemented.. I hope I will be remembered for the kindness and empathy I bring to others around me and the relationships I made.

Be kind. #kubecon

I have a conflict and won’t be able to make this today, but if you are wanting to get started in #kubernetes contributing, go meet my exceptionally talented friends and colleagues! #kubecon
Onsite at #KubeCon? Want to learn about contributing to Kubernetes? Head over to the Project Pavillion during lunch to meet the maintainers at the Meet & Greet! Stop by and ask them about their work, how to get involved, or just say hello & thank you!

It must suck to be one of those people who paid for Canada Post’s mail holding services for when folks are on vacation and the like, now that they’re just giving that to every resident of Canada for free, regardless if they wanted it or not.

I can’t express how happy and deeply proud it makes me to see such talented and passionate people welcome folks into the world of Kubernetes Contributor Experience. It takes a ton of work to make this project what it is, and I love to see where it is going.
SIG ContribEx welcomes you! Join to help with websites, mentoring, and guiding the future of involvement with the project. #KubeCon
