Where am I?

@theckman Senior Distinguished YAML Engineer

That’s it. I’m changing my job title on my company’s Slack workspace to “Distinguished YAML Engineer”.

@theckman Fireball shots != celebrate

I may have taken one too many Fireball shots to “celebrate” my new job title. 😖

Clearly concerning

Happy birthday to my fiends in infosec.

@che_hammond @ahidalgosre Are we fine? 😜

@this_hits_home Maybe you’re more a “tub of cream cheese” family?

@this_hits_home Management != Leadership In some cases, you have leaders that aren’t managers. In other cases, you have managers that aren’t leaders. In the best case, your managers are leaders but leaders need not be managers.

@this_hits_home Yup Same pendulum swing, got off at a different place in the swing at different times. What I’ve learned is that the culture of the organization, its norms, and requirements determine if my leadership can be done from an IC role or requires a management role.

“Hyperscaler best practices considered anti-patterns for those with more modest requirements and scale” is an infrastructure conference talk that’s long overdue.

@jacktla It’s where the ribo flavor comes from

@__muscles Commemorative shoes

What is your definition of a success when delivering a conference talk? An easy one for me is if 1 person walks away from the talk with something actionable and actually goes to do it!

@wjpunsapy @jacktla “You worry about how little people think of you without realizing how little people think of you.”

@jacktla As I wrote an almost-1-decade old reflective blog post: “Stop worrying about what people think of you. They’re probably not. They’re probably thinking about themselves. Or maybe what you think of them. Silly.” From: medium.com/the-coffeelici…

@pbrown280 @theckman 👋🏻

@relix42 @theckman 🤣🤣🤣 Hey Dave! Long time! 😁

Okay. Who triggered the emergency alert test two minutes early?

@editingemily The comma is really important there

OH: “What do you know about open source, dickhead?!”

@molly_struve Shed shaving

Coworker: no need to shave the yak Me: but I want to paint the bicycle shed! Coworker: you mean the bike shed right?

@Jakkuzzi_ @fangsyrup one piece of what? 😜

@gen_nja @mitchellh I don’t know if you made it better worse…

@mitchellh An itemized bill with a line for each packet.

Lots going on here. One, no one is excited to share anything about a bill. Two, why are you texting me this (all prev texts are outage related). Three, my bill has one line item and its “internet” so I’m looking forward to see how they made this “clearer, simpler, and easier.”

@theckman “Don’t make us maintenance. You won’t like us when we maintenance.”

If your system is architected with the assumption you can take maintenance windows to do a software upgrade, your system is not highly available.
