So nice to start the new year learning from two of my favorite people, @cncf.io Ambassadors @cloudnativeboy.bsky.social and Ahmed Bebars. It's definitely worth a watch!
"DO NOT CHOOSE A TOOL BEFORE THE PROBLEM"

MOST of what you do should be spent on what was the problem you were trying to solve, and don't fighting packaging app like pod -> replicaset -> deployment -> services -> ingress -> Stateful set 😖

Great talk with @techtalkingmom.bsky.social and Wito Delnat on all things @thekubeshop #Monokle! If you don't know this tool then you should. It is the missing link for #Kubernetes

People are coming to Bluesky like it’s a new app to replace Twitter.

But if I understand the protocol right it’s more like an operating system to replace all the social media apps.

People will build text streams sure, but also photo and video sharing apps, music, social audio, metaverse things…

Kind of nice that I don’t feel like I have to rush to grab usernames of apps I’m working on or whatever with bluesky, since I can use the app’s domain itself as a username.

Set up my account last night. Discovered dark mode 🤩and scrolled for a bit and went to bed. Been on 5mins this morning and feeling #bluesky waaaaay more than I ever felt mastadon. This might become my new bad habit!
