Some companies are waiting for a new technology to unlock an imaginary innovation when everything required to build a company the size of Google was available 20 years ago.

I flew to Amsterdam and did an interview with the @jetbrains.com team. We covered everything from DevOps to AI, and why I think it's so important for people to constantly reflect on their careers to avoid having 20 years of 1 year experience.
@kelseyhightower.com on platform engineering:
The deployment inputs you ask for – version, CPU, memory, disk, region – are the API your developers rely on.
VMware, cloud, whatever the backend is… the API is what matters.

Kubernetes is the sum of all the shell scripts, and practices, system administrators have cobbled together over time, presented as a single system behind a declarative set of APIs.

I'm winding down what feels like a world tour in Amsterdam next week. I'll be speaking at the @cloudnativenl.bsky.social meetup hosted by @jetbrains.com on October 23rd. And the best part, it's going to be an open Q/A, which means we can cover a wide range of topics.

Maybe I'm not dreaming big enough, but everything I've convinced myself was possible, I've found a way to make it happen.

Met Kelsey Hightower again at #KubeCon London — and as always, it was equal parts insight, empathy, and laughter.

Few people can break down Kubernetes and crack a great joke in the same breath. Always a privilege!
