Thank you, @aerabi.com, for gifting a copy of your newly published book, Docker and Kubernetes Security, and for bringing it all the way from Germany to Istanbul. I will go through it soon.

I often share my wins—so here are some rejections too:

🧊 My #CNCF Ambassador application was rejected (because too many Ambassadors in Germany).
☕️ My @javaland.bsky.social talk was soft-rejected and put on the waiting list.

Now I get to pay for both JavaLand and KubeCon! 😅
