@asynchio I agree, absolutely an inspired idea. This could even be a competitive advantage to the first few companies who implement it

@FunSaized Agreed, and admittedly much less productive than an alternative such as Python. Use the least powerful tool for the job is what I have grudgingly learned

@jorisroovers Fair enough, maybe just start with a single YouTube video? For starters my vote is share what you did automating your blinds. I have been looking for a good solution for that for YEARS and haven't found one to my liking.

@ptlamar Thanks 🙏 Don’t think that will happen, but can’t say I don’t dream of tinkering/making fulltime 🙂 Good to have dreams!

Improving my mini workshop has been one of my favorite things to do this year - thinking about new changes literally keeps me awake at night 😂 Latest edition: Tape roll holder (3D printed brackets+wood sticks).

It looks like I'm not the only person who wants an AWS region which breaks all the time for testing purposes. Now for the harder question, what should it be called?

I want to have an AWS region where everything breaks with high frequency. EC2 networks dropping packets, EBS volumes hanging and failing, entire AZs dropping offline, etc. If it breaks 0.001% of the time in us-east-1, I want it to break 1% of the time in us-fail-1. #awswishlist

@ptlamar Good to hear this perspective. I've been going back and forth about how many contributors to bring into the upcoming Service Mesh Patterns - layer5.io/books/service-…. So many patterns to share.

@evilgaywitch How interesting the future would be if politicians maintained their views and policies on readme.md files in Github?

@jorisroovers Just digging into it myself, but been more security focused in my old age. It's awesome that SQL injection has been the #1 security risk for at least the last dozen years. Its the one field that my undergrad courses are still relevant!

@ptlamar Still need to read the latest one, is it as good as the previous ones? More focused on security I guess.

@ibuildthecloud To this end, an ideal conference talk would be 10 mins on a topic and then 30 min to discuss in round tables in a topic, then you could have the hallway discussions in a room and more people could take part.

@ibuildthecloud Thanks for sharing, I have had similar thoughts. Conference talks tend to be beginner level to appeal to a broader audience but it makes them hard to get value from. It can be so much more valuable to go deeper with a few experts.

I've never attended a conference for the actual content of the conference. The only reason I go is to meet people in person. I've never been a huge conference fan (unless I'm speaking, I really enjoy speaking) and this whole virtual thing has just killed it for me.

I'm not presenting at Kubecon. It's a combination of being too busy to make a recording and being extremely unmotivated as I personally have no interest in a virtual Kubecon. Probably not the smartest move being that @Rancher_Labs is a diamond sponsor. Sorry.

Forms of self-employment income for developers: 🔴 SaaS: Takes a long time for meaningful returns. 🟢 Info Products: High volatility, unpredictable, potential for extremely high ROI. 🔵 Freelancing: Predictable, stable, choose your own hours. Mix together for maximum effect!
