oof got three nearly identical resumes/covers cold emailed to me (not the hiring manager) with very suspicious github usernames ("ScriptWizard001" "StackCrafter4") and all from gmail addresses that are [email protected] format...

be careful out there, North Korean scam rings want to get you.

When the Internet began, people thought connecting everyone together, sharing information freely, and injecting a healthy dose of anarchism would lead to a strong, healthy society. Not really how it…

Headed to #fosdem - looking forward to it.

Will also be looking for the EU version of KrazyGlue as I broke my glasses frames in London today.

Fun times.

While you probably know me best from my work in Developer Relations, did you know I’ve also been a great sales engineer?

If your company is looking for a new sales engineer/solutions architect with experience in infrastructure, DevOps, or related areas, I might be just who you need!

Thanks!

I ended up finding one relatively close with good ratings between it and the city Center.

Should be good!

For people who are heading to #cfgmgmtcamp - is there a nearby hotel that’s preferred?

I looked at the conference website and didn’t see anything listed.

I got to spend the last week helping to build houses in El Salvador. Our team built 18 houses for people in remote villages who are barely surviving. Helping to build them a secure, dry, lockable house gives them a step forward and a leg up.

We got to see old friends in Jorge and Maritza - they helped us build the first houses in 2007 and we try to see them whenever we come.

David is one of the best builders I’ve ever worked with in my trips. He’s fast, accurate and a great leader. He never makes anybody feel like they are less than and makes every build a dream.

Some garbage humans came around and scammed this family of around 3 weeks of wages and disappeared. She initially thought our offer of a house might be a lie - we were able to make sure this house was real and build a little more hope for them.

Yup. Most experienced people that I know in the tech industry wonder why anything works at all ever.

It’s remarkable that most software stuff works most of the time given the astonishing levels of complexity in modern tech stacks.

lots of discourse on whether there should be a True Detective S5 but only one right answer: hire Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny at their current ages, name their characters Mulder and Scully, make them longtime (work) partners, do not otherwise acknowledge the existence of X-Files in the show

I ended switching back to an IC role about 9 years ago.

I don’t think I was emotionally mature enough to do it well AND be personally satisfied. It drained me and wasn’t where I needed to be for my own mental health.

I pretty sure I will have a much better time now when I eventually head back.

One thing I struggled with was the lack of clear “I did that” to point to and feeling like I wasn’t doing things that were worthwhile.

Those are false feelings that need to be dealt with appropriately - the things managers do are worthwhile and probably even harder than tech.

People are messy.

A distinguished professor at MIT who was my undergrad advisor told me that I had no future in computer science.

They didn’t realize I had written the security advisories they were explaining to students in their security class cuz I had published using my handle and that i was in the fucking room.
