I am an adult who had chicken nuggets and toast for dinner tonight. No regrets.

There are a bunch of people I get to work with at Microsoft who are genuinely passionate about making things better. Better products. Better supporting materials. They light up my workday.

I need to go sit in a forest.

Unsubscribing from your emails shouldn't require me to give you more personal information, under the guise of "updating my profile".

The revolution will be delayed while all of my apps update.

Was in such a flow state today completing multiple things that I really didn't want to shut down my laptop. Love days like that.

The work in my AI-assisted workflow is the human review, the tricky decision making. These reviews are where I could argue for or against my own decision but I have to draw a line. GitHub Copilot gave me good reasoning but I still overruled some.

Monday in Australia. A webinar this afternoon & a documentation review I'm working through. About 30 articles to make a judgement call on before I start issuing PRs. Never thought I'd say Doc and PR in same sentence but at this scale (docs and people) it makes reviews much easier.

Love that some of the D23 events are live-streamed on Disney+

TIL the kids call it "ChattyG"

There's a weird clash about asking AI to write a prompt you're going to paste into AI.

Halp once again I am in GitHub. What could possibly go wrong.

Definitely not 72, but USA does give more injections v Australia bc: - Hep A for all babies - more, separate doses for some vaccines - doesn't use 'combination scheduling' as much. Australia has 1 needle for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, polio, Hib. Go combo your vaccines, simple.

i personally think polymarket and all companies like it should be regulated out of existence and their assets seized by the state

Oh you want to plan for 12 months? How cute.

Tech is moving so fast that I can't date anything "month year" any more, I'm using full dates of when conversations happened. Oh you spoke in July? Early July or late July because that matters.

Let's talk about the observability of AI, and not for performance reasons ... www.linkedin.com/pulse/observ...

The observability of AI

After a lovely, long, hot summer getaway to Europe with my family, I've returned to see growing interest in the cost of AI workloads. That's heartening, after being around so many people eager to talk...

Istio Day is back at the Cloud Native Theater during #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon NA 2026! The CFP is now open! If you have an interesting Istio technical story, lesson learned, production experience, community contribution or innovation to share, we'd love to hear: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It is 21C/69F and I am NOT built for this.

I've largely avoided the AI debate because there are so many parts to the conversation, but I'm getting annoyed enough that I might need to rant. And it may not be the rant you expect.

If I can watch anything on Netflix. I'll probably choose a doco. 14 Peaks was an amazing reveal into battling the elements to achieve a goal. It's been confirmed that Nimsdai & the rest of his climbing party perished in the Broad Peak avalanche this week. He had a deep respect for the mountain. RIP.

Nobody tells you how hard it is to go from 100F to 66F in the same week.

I try and keep Friday afternoons for low stress work. Today I woke up with an idea for something I want to build, to help with future demos. A couple of meetings first then I'll see how far I get.

The best part about returning from 5 weeks annual leave is having the boldness to look at the email participants and hit send anyway. :)
