Who else will be at #scale23x this weekend? I’ve been a long-time attendee, but this year I’m excited to be volunteering! If you find me, come say hi!

IT engineer and Kubestronaut in orbit above Southern California. Helps people build and operate scalable, resilient infrastructure
huxley(fur) / LaeliaEnshittification comes for open source:
Slack is kicking two large open source groups, Cloud Native Computing Foundation and Kubernetes, off of their donated enterprise tier, giving them one week notice to migrate multiple years of data to a new platform before it's all deleted: https://www.cncf.io/blog/2025/06/16/cncf-slack-workspace-changes-coming-on-friday-june-20/
Instead of learning from this experience and not trusting the good will of profit-motivated closed source companies, it looks like both projects will be moving to ... Discord. Because "people know it." Will we never learn?
(Dropped Cory because he's probably getting tons of spam from this. Sorry!)
Any tips for maintaining #Vim muscle memory without replacing current apps/workflows? Just looking for some "on-the-side" practice for now
I’ve been tossing around an idea for a game to hack together in #golang. Of course, it’s an educational game because I can’t just make something fun 😅
Every day is #caturday on Mastodon. It's basically my whole feed 24/7... and I'm not really mad about it 😅
Just released https://registry.terraform.io/modules/bcbrookman/kubeadm-k8s/aws to provision #k8s clusters on #aws using #terraform. It's early, but I'm also planning on publishing some #kubestronaut practice labs that use it.
The #pi.e is a lie!
1. Book things early—especially workshops/events with limited space
2. Preview the schedule and make a basic itinerary
3. Prefer talks with case studies or unfamiliar topics
4. Be outgoing, talk to people, and ask questions
5. It’s okay to waste vendors’ time at booths
6. Don’t cut conversations short to attend talks—especially if talks are recorded

While attending #scale22x this weekend, someone asked me “what are you supposed to do at expos like this?” It caught me off guard at first, but it’s a very valid question. Tech conferences often have overwhelming menus of things to do and all the items are à la carte, so I thought I’d share some tips I’ve learned over the years.
This week, I finally played with #devcontainers for the first time. I ran into a bit of issue accessing networking but that’s probably a me issue. So far I’m a fan!
