The next chapter: I'm joining Satispay as their CTO. They're revolutionizing payments for millions across Europe: simple, fair, accessible. We're hiring across engineering. Want to build fintech that actually empowers people? Let's talk.
Today I'm ending my 12-year VMware journey. When I joined, "cloud native" was barely a concept. We built teams that created and improved systems that became industry standards. This one goes out to all the exceptional engineers who made this remarkable. Next? Details tomorrow, so sit tight 😀
I must say that trading planes for trains as a mean of transportation is a net positive so far
I've been so incredibly busy in the past 4 weeks that I barely had time to sleep. Super excited about what's coming next and finally being able to catch my breath 💀
I’m running an experiment with a couple of friends and it required to sign up on truth social. The memes on it are ✨unhinged✨
I wish there was an ETF tracking all the inside traders in and around the White House.
I’m not going to be at Kubecon this time around, I really wanted to but timing didn’t work out in the end.
Another thing that’s has been occupying a lot of my time on the weekends lately is following my daughter through various fencing competitions across the country. She started taking classes in July last year and went all in 😀
Something is brewing! It’s going to be a very slow roll but there are several things that are going to keep me busy this year. Watch this space 😉
I’ve been trying to stay away from social media, mostly to wait out the fallout from Trump being sworn president once again. Since the craziness is still “pedal to the metal” with no sign of slowing down, I’m considering building a bit of a bubble on here and start interacting again.
Back in the saddle after a pretty cool Christmas break. One of the highlights of the break was that I drove to Denmark and back in 4 days! First proper road trip with an EV, and no issues whatsoever. Visiting Billund and the Lego House was pretty awesome.
We open presents on Christmas Eve and there’s nothing you can do about it 😂
Anyone I know know the @bsky.app peeps? There’s a community manager role I’d love a referral for 👀 Or maybe RT/comment for reach to help me out? Please & thank you! 🙏
I mean, I don’t know if this counts as bragging or what, but I’m definitely the only person I know that owns an industrial-grade AC unit that is installed on a 19 inch rack sitting on the roof.

🧵 a thread with a hot take fresh out of Kubecon: AI workloads are so different from traditional and cloud-native workloads that require a first class citizen abstraction that we don’t have yet. 1/3
I’m at #Kubecon! If you wanna chat hit me up, I don’t have a fixed schedule but trying to squeeze in a bunch of talks I wanna see.
The joy of traveling: missing a connection in Denver after 16+ hours of travel and being stuck overnight in a dusty motel outside the airport. But don’t worry Kubecon, I’m getting there today 😂
I'm importing my twitter archive over to Bluesky. This move is as official as it gets :) shoutout to the awesome tool by @marcomaroni.it : github.com/marcomaroni-...

What are the best options for somebody who’s confident with Go and C (and a bit of Java too) and wants to learn Python? I feel like I’m making progress on my own but missing a lot of nuances about the language.
First batch of my spicy olive oil is ready: Ligurian olive oil (sweeter and less tangy), and Calabrian sun-dried chilis.
