Hello Mastodon! Thanks for letting me in! As for a short introduction: I'm a DevOps nerd from Europe who likes thinking about IaC, solutions architecture, platform engineering, and CI/CD. Looking forward to good discussions with anyone who's also curious about this stuff.
Feel free to say hi!
I'm looking for a new job starting May
Experience: #sysops #devops #cicd #platformengineering #automation System integration, #atlassian (if needed 😉 )
Location: #remote or Germany, Stuttgart
Feel free to DM me 😀 !
This is seriously the best workflow.
I just wrote the story of my platform and pushed the buffer to my blog directly. Tomorrow we turn the configuration language I developed for its workflow compiler into a puzzle. Cuz reasons
Just MD and YAML
#emacs #orgmode #markdown #blog #devops #platformengineering
"""
New blog, who dis?
"""
--- my new blog, which is the same as the old blog, except now it just runs on MD and YAML - as one does
===
Turns out a wee bit of YAML makes a decent micro-blog too so I thew one of those in to.

Specialist Track spotlight: Platform Engineering 🏗️
Last chance: the CFP closes 29 March. DevOps, SRE, infrastructure, developer experience, and the real-world lessons of building and running platforms at scale.
You don't need a Python-specific angle, if it's relevant to people who build and run software with Python, we want to hear it. First-time speakers welcome.

Platform Engineering assumes you have a cloud. What if your cloud is a supercomputer?

You can have green DORA metrics and still have miserable developers.
Speed ≠ Joy.
To get real IDP adoption, we need to treat platforms like products. APIs aren't enough.
Read my new article for Platform Engineering here: https://platformengineering.org/blog/the-empathy-gap-why-your-platform-needs-ux-not-just-apis
Discover "the empathy gap" in platform engineering. Learn why relying only on APIs and DORA metrics leads to low Internal Developer Platform (IDP) adoption, and how treating your platform as a product with great UX can reduce cognitive friction and bring developers joy
#PlatformEngineering sits at the intersection of infrastructure, developer experience & product delivery.
Scaling Technical Excellence isn’t about more tools - it’s about embedding #DevOps principles - ownership, fast feedback loops, and psychological safety - directly into the developer workflow.
Learn how to build platforms that teams actually love!

New in Omni: On-ramp for Talos Linux clusters.
Centralizing infrastructure management shouldn't require a total rebuild of your current environment.
You can now bring established Talos Linux clusters into Omni via a single CLI command and immediately gain visibility and remote management capabilities while reducing the operational risk of manual cluster rebuilds.
