Good morning ☕️

"Oh, wow! This product looks awesome!" ...checks pricing... ┌────────┐ │ Talk to Sales ➡ │ └────────┘ "Oh, I guess I need to convince myself it's not as awesome as I thought" 😞

Nobody: Me: I think I’ll try replacing the battery and thermal paste on my MacBook 😳

What am I about to say here?

So what exactly do you do?

Looking for your next DevOps role? 👀 I’ve worked with nominal.io for the past 18 months, building DevOps & cloud infrastructure systems. We are adding a new member to the team! Infra stack: AWS, Kubernetes, Crossplane, FluxCD, GitHub Actions, Datadog jobs.lever.co/nominal/cba5...

I have received multiple emails from a hair transplant company asking if they can sponsor a video on my [DevOps] YouTube channel 💀

Follow up! Were you able to develop/intuit the whole thing or did you have to look up and memorize the algorithms? I can intuit the first two layers but have to look up the algos for the final layer

How fast can you solve a Rubiks Cube?

Getting hand, foot, and mouth was not on my bingo card for 2024, but here we are 😳 For anyone who has gotten it as an adult, how screwed am I? (I already have the worst sore throat I can remember)

Potentially controversial opinion: granny smith’s are an s-tier apple 🍏

I just switched sidpalas.com, devopsdirective.com, and courses.devopsdirective.com from Plausible to GoatCounter 🐐 I used to self host Plausible, but: 1. The free credits for the VM I was running on expired 2. A couple of times the clickhouse instance storing event data filled up the disk with logs

I debate whether or not to purchase things (or which option to buy) long enough that if I spent that time doing client work I could just pay for the item with the extra money... 🙈

Security pro tip: if you find a USB key on the ground somewhere, DO NOT plug it in to your home computer. Take it to the office and plug it in there. They have way better software that will mitigate any threats.

The cool thing about keeping a workout log is being able to look back and see how much you lifted 5 years ago... 💪 The sad thing about keeping a workout log is being able to look back and see how much you lifted 5 years ago [compared to now]... 😭

Don’t lose yourself in the Kubernetes!

I'm seriously considering getting the new Mac Mini + portable monitor instead of a MacBook Pro... Most of the time, I work out of my home office. Once a week I work elsewhere, but at a desk (and already bring keyboard + mouse + iPad for sidecar). 👍 or 👎?

What causes DevOps complexity? Why do software systems devolve into a world of pain and toil? It is due to a topic I have named... The DevOps Chasm! 🧵

Searching your handle here skyzoo.blue/stats/ shows what number member you were! I was #40,478!

I woke up this morning and reminded myself to live with intentionality.

Just a casual 3.2M line PR… 😳

When writing infrastructure as code, do you modify resource names to make them human readable, or keep the autogenerated random names generates by [terraform|pulumi|crossplane|etc…] to avoid naming collisions? 🤔

I usually treat all sources of income the same. Paycheck, bonus, cash back, its all going to the same place so why think about it any differently? That being said, unprompted tips for my content... those hit different! 🫶 🥹

When people ask what I do in tech and why production goes down. It’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me.

351 trick or treaters! 🎃 🍫 😮‍💨
