I setup a profile over at bsky.app/profile/touge.… Posting here just in case people are looking for me and find me here first even though I'm not using it anymore. Otherwise I wouldn't actually be posting here.

@todaywasawesome Yeah, that has me super worried

Mastodon admins in 2 weeks when the spam starts to show up.

I setup a profile over at @touge" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hachyderm.io/@touge We'll see how many ppl from my mutuals end up over there/on Mastodon but I hope a lot of them. I just don't trust/like the new leadership of this site right now. I feel bad for all the great people still at this company but idk🤷

Who's signature _ever_ matches their original these days? I can't even remember what my original signature would look like after doing everything electronically for so many years!

Okay, okay. A thread on why this is a screaming red flag as a Cloud Economist...

@LukasGentele Thanks!

@mtougeron That's awesome. Congrats!

Today is a day full of good news. I got my invite to the kubernetes-sigs org! I get so excited working on projects with such an amazing group of people. #Kubernetes

I retract the "Today is a day full of good news" part after seeing the horrific Twitter layoff news. Yes there was a lot of good news in my life, I don't want to diminish that, but I feel so sickened by the way the layoffs went that I can't call yesterday a day of good news. :(

Hey Twitter employees getting laid off tomorrow! IMPORTANT INFO from a CA employment attorney (me): CA's "WARN" law requires Twitter to give you 60 days notice of a massive layoff. A layoff of 50+ employees within a 30 day period qualifies. I know you didn't get that notice.

Welp, the layoffs are a ridiculous mess today. My sympathies to those out there affected by them. Can't believe how f'd up and disrespectfully they were done.

@debuggist Thanks!

I'm pretty happy. Even though I went to #KubeCon and drank copious amounts of beer, not to mention the incredible food, I still managed to lose 2 lbs. That put me over the 80lb mark since late April.

@SathyaBhat Thanks!

@mtougeron nice going Mike.

randomly enough, a few minutes later I get an email reminding me that my CKA expires soon. lol

@richburroughs Yeah. 13k+ every day for me.

Woohoo! My #GitOpsCon talk "Hundreds of Clusters Sitting in a Tree with Argo CD" is live on YouTube. #KubeCon youtube.com/watch?v=casLvZ…

@kylec It confuses me too

1995: PHP is dead, learn ColdFusion 2002: PHP is dead, learn ASP​.net 2003: PHP is dead, learn Django 2004: PHP is dead, learn Ruby on Rails 2010: PHP is dead, learn Flask 2011: PHP is dead, learn AngularJS 2016: PHP is dead, learn Next.js 2022: okay this is awkward

What's this wet watery substance falling from the sky? Is this that mythical rain thing I've been hearing about?

@vbatts @flatcar My kid saw the @flatcar stickers and immediately took 2 of them for himself as well as a t-shirt. :)

@mtougeron See you there! And I've got @flatcar stickers :-D

OMW to the airport to head to #KubeCon . The excitement is real people! It's almost time!! ✈️
