Yea that was a fun one. Thank you for celebrating the glory of entrepreneurship, David.

@rseroter Been a while since I heard Kubernetes from you! Great start of 2026 and Happy New Year @rseroter. Thanks for your interesting sharings, newsletters.

It was great fun December cncf meetup in Toronto! Thank you to #Intuit and @SWDevAngel for hosting us!

Yes, you absolutely missed last nights CNCF Toronto meetup 😉 Especially the last one of the year🤯❄️☃️🎄 Really excited for what we have lined up for 2026 😊

I just spent 12 hours stress-testing Gemini Pro 3.0. The results were startling. The barrier between "technical" and "non-technical" is gone. I didn't write code. I didn't hire a dev. I didn't open n8n. I just used plain English. So let's look at what happened... The Clean Up: I pasted a description of a broken lead-routing process. Gemini spotted the bottleneck. It redesigned the logic flow. It wrote the SOPs for my team. The Analysis: I uploaded raw, messy sales transcripts. I asked for patterns. It found a pricing objection I had missed for months. That one insight is worth five figures. The Build: I requested a client portal architecture. It gave me the database schema. It mapped the user journey. It defined the error handling. Most people use this tech to write emails. That is a waste of horsepower. It’s not a chatbot, it’s a 24/7 operator. But it only works if you know how to speak to it. I documented everything I did in those 12 hours. I call it the Gemini Prompting Playbook. Inside: - 40+ Operator-grade prompts - My exact SOP frameworks - Templates to turn data into decisions I’m giving it away for free. Reply "GEMINI" below. I’ll DM you the link.

Nano Banana Pro is insane

Say Kube, say Con. Hello from Atlanta Kubecon. Great to see the community and ambassador getting together again 🤗

Here is Gemini CLI’s October 27th weekly update for v0.12.0 - 🎉 New Partner Extensions: - 🤗 Hugging Face extension: Access the Hugging Face hub. gemini extensions install github.com/huggingface/hf… - Monday.com extension: Analyze your sprints, update your task boards, etc. gemini extensions install github.com/mondaycom/mcp - Data Commons extension: Query public datasets or ground responses on data from Data Commons. gemini extensions install github.com/gemini-cli-ext… - Model Selection: Choose the Gemini model for your session with /model. (abhipatel12) - Model Routing: Gemini CLI will now intelligently pick the best model for the task. Simple queries will be sent to Flash while complex analytical or creative tasks will still use the power of Pro. This ensures your quota will last for a longer period of time. You can always opt-out of this via /model. (abhipatel12) - Discussion: github.com/google-gemini/… - Codebase Investigator Subagent: We now have a new built-in subagent that will explore your workspace and resolve relevant information to improve overall performance. (abhipatel12 and silviojr) - Enable, disable, or limit turns in /settings, plus advanced configs in settings.json (silviojr) - Explore Extension: Users can now open the extensions page in their default browser directly from the CLI using the /extensions explore command. (JayadityaGit) - Configurable Compression: Users can modify the compression threshold in /settings. The default has been made more proactive (scidomino). - API Key Authentication: Users can now securely enter and store their Gemini API key via a new dialog, eliminating the need for environment variables and repeated entry. (galz10) - Sequential Approval: Users can now approve multiple tool calls sequentially during execution. (joshualitt) github.com/google-gemini/… 🧵

google’s open source & research output basically built the modern ai + web stack: - chromium → most browsers - android → 3b+ phones - tensorflow, jax, tpu papers → shaped ml infrastructure - transformer paper → changed the world - mapreduce, borg, spanner, protobufs, kubernetes → cloud & infra as we know it meanwhile openai, despite the open in the name, is philosophically closed. the founders of google have left so much legacy for good in the world. that has to be lauded. can’t imagine two other people who have had such an enormous impact on modern life.

@tobi Congratulations Shopifolks!

10 years ago Shopify went public. Still early.

🚨 BREAKING: Google just turned Gemini into an AI operating system. At I/O 2025, they launched a full suite of tools that go way beyond chat. Here’s what just dropped and it’s wild: 🧵👇

The Polls are WRONG and Pierre Poilievre is WINNING. Here's why: Juno Polls pioneered the neighbour poll in this election. During our weekly poll, we began asking people who they thought their neighbour was voting for. This accomplishes two things: 1. It picks up on enthusiasm -- what are your friends and family talking about, who has more lawn signs in your community, what are you seeing on social media? You could personally be a Liberal voter, but aware of the CPC signs all over your neighbourhood, hearing stories of crime, young Canadians locked out of the housing market and people ready for a change. 2. It helps get around response bias. The legacy media established early on that the ballot box question was Trump Trump Trump. They told the Canadian public "elbows up" & that Carney was the man for the job. But many Canadians saw through this narrative and still wanted to vote based on Canadian issues like cost of living, crime, ending mass immigration, developing our natural resources, etc. This created the "shy Tory" effect, where people leaning Conservative told pollsters what they wanted to hear: "I'm voting for Mark Carney" — which artificially boosted his poll numbers. Our Juno Neighbour Poll consistently had Pierre Poilievre between 40% and 45%, with the Liberals between 33% and 38%. Our final Neighbour Poll had the CPC at 40% and the Libs at 38%. Interestingly, one of Canada's most trusted pollsters -- David Coletto of Abacus Data -- followed our lead and conducted his own Neighbour Poll this week. His results were even stronger for the Conservatives. He found the Conservatives with 44% to the Liberals 40%. The polling models used by the big polling companies are obviously wrong. They over sample older Canadians and the laptop class — the ones more likely to pick up a call from an unknown caller or complete an online survey. They likewise under sample younger Canadians and working class voters — the ones too busy to waste their time with a pollster. The demographics of this election show the Liberals leading among the 55+ crowd and with women — i.e. the same people overrepresented in the polls — while the Conservatives lead with blue collar workers and young Canadians. That’s why I think our Neighbour Poll hit the nail on the head. It picked up on something the fancy pollsters missed — and now some like David Coletto are scrambling to capture in order to save face and hedge against a major embarrassment. Anything can happen on Election Day, so this thing is far from over and certainly not in the bag for the Conservatives. But I believe our polls were right all along, that Carney’s inflated poll numbers were always a mirage, and that Poilievre has the lead and the advantage heading into the final weekend.

We are going to launch buy local features for Shop.app soon. Canada, US, Mexico to start.

Really excited to receive the Organizer - 2024 Cloud Native Community Group award from @CNCF! 🎉 It's awesome to be recognized for building the #CloudNative community with fellow organizers from Canada and around the world. #CNCF #CommunityRocks
