For my unlimited PTO folks, how often do you actually take time off?
I’ve noticed a lot of us are weirdly bad at using time off when there’s no number attached to it😅
T-shirt wisdom: Why not now?

Who owns that S3 bill?
Who gets paged at 2am when us-east-1 melts down?
Who actually has the access to fix it?
Who gets blamed when deployments go sideways?
Who gets celebrated when things go right?
Let’s stop glamorizing the tools and start empowering the teams using them 👏

Privacy is weirdly abstract when you’re building.
It’s easy to forget that behind the data is a person.
Not a row in a table or a payload.
Tools don't say: “You don’t need to collect this birthdate”
The problem is: privacy issues rarely look like bugs.
They look like… nothing.

Do you leave the lights on when you leave the house? Or the AC?
Didn’t think so.
But in cloud? We do it all the time.
Things sit idle.
Resources drift.
Bills grow.
There’s got to be a better way.
Anyone out there actually doing this well? I’d love to hear how.

AI isn’t coming for your job
It is coming for the 40% that’s repetitive and overdue for automation
What’s left is the part that’s deeply human like decision-making, storytelling and collaboration
The future of work isn't less human; it’s more strategic, creative, and connected

Platform Engineering ≠ DevOps
DevOps is the why & what: a culture for faster software delivery.
Platform Engineering is the how: building an internal product (a platform) that enables the DevOps vision at scale, reducing dev toil and boosting productivity.
One's a mindset, the other's a solution.

Kubernetes won't "fix" your architecture.
What it will do is expose:
– every fragile process
– every broken handoff
– every unspoken assumption about how your team actually ships software.
Kubernetes doesn’t fix broken culture.
It just shows you where it’s leaking fastest.

Someone out there is facing the same challenges you are.
They’re looking for your story.
Your voice.
Your perspective.
So share it.
Put yourself out there.
Be seen.
Personal branding feels uncomfortable.
Do it anyway.
Because your experience might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

That one legacy server you’re scared to shut down is costing you:
$15k/year in maintenance
100+ hours of dev time
Security risks from an outdated OS
30-Day Challenge:
1️⃣ Containerize 1 legacy app (use Docker)
2️⃣ Test 1 serverless workflow (AWS Step Functions)
3️⃣ Delete 1 server

The board doesn’t care about your Kubernetes clusters.
They care about how tech drives:
1️⃣ Customer retention: Faster bug fixes = happier users
2️⃣ Upsell opportunities: AI features = premium tiers
3️⃣ Market dominance: Launch before competitors
Your new KPI: Revenue enabled by cloud-native tech.

Knowledge is not power.
Knowledge won't differentiate you from the people around you.
It is how you use that knowledge that will. All the courses, books, videos, and posts in the world won’t work until you put your knowledge into action.

1️⃣ Optimizing cloud costs to fuel growth
2️⃣ Delivering innovation that drives new revenue streams
3️⃣ Aligning tech with business goals to maximize ROI

Here's why your cloud is leaking money:
Overprovisioned "just in case" resources
Legacy code running 24/7
Complexity that hides costs
Fix it
1️⃣ Run a "right-sizing sprint" (use AWS Cost Explorer/Kubecost)
2️⃣ Automate non-prod shutdowns (nights/weekends)
3️⃣ Adopt FinOps

How often do you go back to your notes, saved tabs, or bookmarked posts?
I’m trying to build a habit of looking through things before saving them and setting aside a day each week to review what I’ve saved.
It’s helping me be more intentional and less overwhelmed.

Is your team applying the HBAB (Hit By A Bus) principle at work?🚍
Imagine if a key engineer got hit by a bus on their way to work today. Would your team be able to:
✔️ Jump into their code
✔️ Understand how it works
✔️ Continue working on it without them?
Think about it.
Bus-ready or roadkill?
