Hurry up, we’re dreaming!
Motivation isn’t one-size-fits-all.
This!

"For the foreseeable future, the Go team will stop pursuing syntactic language changes for error handling. We will also close all open and incoming proposals that concern themselves primarily with the syntax of error handling, without further investigation."

We’re the Kubernetes Community Days Istanbul organizers powered by community spirit and fair amount of caffeine.

Huge thanks to every speaker, sponsor and attendee who made this possible ❤️🫂

We’re tired. We’re proud. And yes, we’re already thinking about next year.

#KCDIstanbul
Also, it was fun to meet and chat with you all f2f at last in the event @eminalemdar.dev @koksay.bsky.social @developerguy.bsky.social @halilbugol.bsky.social *Alp Kahvecioglu* and it was a great catchup after years *Ali Ok*. See you at the next event👋
Many thanks to @kcd.istanbul team for having me this year. Starting to spread the word for the @rust-lang.org‬ Operator SDK plugin was very important for me, and I am glad that I could do it at a KCD event in the city where I live. #rust #kubernetes #operators

It was a nice suprise to see Rust in action in the season 4 of #HowToSellDrugsOnlineFast #Netflix series. In Rust we tRust:)
I started to use the bookmark that my daugther designed and handcrafted for me, for my #rust readings. Cool, right?🤗

One of the hardest things to explain to people without ADHD:

• when it’s interesting, I can start on it
• when it’s uninteresting, I can’t

Note that the second one is not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T.

I have to convince my brain it is interesting to even get started.
Hurry up, we’re dreaming!
All the best, Mark! Change is the only constant🫤

What do you get if you combine a robust #NoSQL database like @mongodb.bsky.social w/ a high-performance #streamingdata platform like Redpanda?

Follow this tutorial by @systemcraftsman.com to learn how to integrate them for real-time #analytics in just 4 steps!

Working on something that will make my new Crustacean charm-buddy more meaningful. Hoping to announce it soon as I am a few steps away from what I initially thought. #kubernetes #operators #operatorsdk #kubebuilder
I've been experiencing Rust generics, trait bounds, and their lifetimes for some time as a newbie Rustacean. It is both fun and not fun:)

🚀 Excited to share an intro to a tutorial of mine: "Testing Kafka Applications with Testcontainers"! 🧪🐳 on @AtomicJarInc blog. 🔍 Testing in app dev is crucial. You can't skip it! But ever wondered about the right balance between debugging & writing tests? Let's dive in! 👇
A very interesting book. Still reading but already love it! #the12weekyear
