I only just completed the MIT quantum computing fundamentals, ready for the next one: IBM just launched the first developer certification for quantum computing | ZDNet zdnet.com/article/ibm-ou…

@mpt Well done on all the great work you've pushed through over the years @mpt . I hope you enjoy the changes moving forward!

Today was my last day at Canonical. Thanks to everyone I worked with — I learned so much.

Any remote engineering managers in an EU timezone who are keen to manage a team for the OSS Kubeapps project? We're currently interviewing for our team: vmware.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/VMware/job/ESP…

After interviewing many developers over the last few months I wrote up some interview tips for developers. (Not specifically on answering technical questions, but on preparation and best using the interview time to present yourself) jameswestby.net/tech/interview…

@prydonius Thanks Adnan - getting to build on top of a good foundation has been great!

@michaelanelson You and the team are killing it!! Excited to try this out 😀

Woo - Kubeapps 2.0 and specifically the multi-cluster support, is something I've been working hard on for the past months!

I dream of a world where truth shapes people's politics, rather politics shaping what people think is true.

And another recent #kubeapps demo I recorded showing the new support for private docker registries: youtube.com/watch?v=g8uDC3…

My own #kubeapps demo of logging in without k8s service account tokens: youtube.com/watch?v=1Rukd2…

@rbtcollins "Pure individual contribution has been like I imagine crack to be, and perhaps just as toxic in the long term." Why toxic in the long run? For your future goals?

@xjjo Hopefully I've documented my own pain there today so that others can avoid it (the pain, that is)

Reminder to my future self: don't start the (work)year trying to setup O365 for a bit more than it has been merely crafted to do -- You (me) should have a fresh, positive, optimistic start of year.

@grahambinns I've been using gohugo.io for the past few years for static sites, which has been straight forward too.

@voidspace Encapsulating the state transitions into composable, testable units has helped me so many times - glad to hear it helped there too (sometimes I wish I could apply that pattern with real life :P )

Including a brain transplant. Replacing the scattered payment status updates business logic (asynchronously from us to customer and us to payment provider and them to us), into a state machine. Inspired by @michaelanelson [6/7]

I worked on the @Canonical Payment Service and Single Sign On Service (SSO) for three years. Both medium sized Django projects I'd say. [1/7]

By one of my favourite people to learn from - @xjjo

@arapulido Congrats @arapulido . Sounds like an exciting change!

While the female me is now enjoying relaxing - ahead again... summary.firststatesuper.com.au/images/hero_f5… . And there the pattern ends - no fun or happiness after 68 :-(

In fact, I get to enjoy the beach for two decades - beaches make me happy: summary.firststatesuper.com.au/images/hero_m5…

So I am looking at my superannuation at #firststatesuper (retirement fund) to check a few things. As always, I'm greeted by a very happy looking, similarly aged/gendered person who doesn't look like he has anything to complain about: summary.firststatesuper.com.au/images/hero_m3… #aging #superannuation
