Hi, I’m Josh (he/him)

I’m obsessed with #devops, #observability and #databases. I’m a Developer Advocate at Altinity.

I run a home lab and I have no idea what’s on any of the assorted thumb drives around my home in Western Massachusetts.

Me: “I really don’t want any swag from this #kubecon

Also me: sticker haul

All of the after parties at #kubecon are a blast, but #sig-boba has a special place in my heart. Thank you @capileigh.bsky.social!!!

Huzzah! I am actually airborne and en-route to #kubecon NA! It seems like I will actually arrive in time for the event that I'm hosting tonight.

See you all soon!

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for proving that it actually is possible to be more despicable than Mitch McConnell

I only have 8 intra US flights planned within the next two weeks. This will be fine, right?

Dems please hold strong. Make this worth it.

Some fun shots of @joshleecreates.bsky.social and me at #kcdPorto. You can see me with my mask peeking out of the top right corner of the second pic, as we play with a real working Macintosh of the Olden Days.

So excited to be back in Porto for my SECOND KCD Porto tomorrow! Aaaaand, this is the third leg of my European tour with @joshleecreates.bsky.social, as we get ready to speak about #OpenTelemetry vendor neutrality. Catch us on November 3rd at 14:10 in the Synvert room at the Alfândega do Porto. 🤘

Apropos of nothing: now would be a real cool time for the CNCF to realize that North America includes both Mexico and Canada and decide that KubeCon NA can be somewhere other than the US

Just a thought

I want my damn em-dashes back. I've been using them for ~17 years...

Dear Apple and Google and carriers - the FCC is obviously worthless now, so please fix this shit.

@joshleecreates.bsky.social and I are on a roll with our talk tour - one talk 4 conferences! We first gave this talk at CND Austria and KCD Warsaw last week, and our next stop will be OSOD next week. The best part? It's an online conference, so NO EXCUSES! 😁

Are you even a vim user if the j/k keys aren’t the most worn out on your keyboard? (For me also “c” because Apple decided the escape key is superfluous…)

Collaborating with @adrianamvillela.bsky.social has been just the best. And our talk is pretty good too, if I do say so myself. We’re about to uncover the truth of vendor-neutrality in #OpenTelemtry at #kcdwarsaw
