Software and product management guy. Cloud Native, API and reformed service mesh guy, I guess. Dad. Husband. Oaktowner.

I work at Nutanix, but this is my feed, not theirs.
Thanks to Sudeep Goswami, CEO of @traefik.io for inviting me to join him on The Cube. Had a great discussion with him, Paul Nashawaty and Rob Strechay on the evolving landscape in cloud native land (especially how VMs and containers co-exist in the enterprise). www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XgA...

It's always fun to run into @justingarrison.com -- and this time I ended up with a @fafo.fm sticker! (And if you haven't listened to this month's episode with @elchefe.me, go find it... it's an instant classic. What a treasure.)

Ingress NGINX is being retired! This is a huge deal because its use is so widespread. If you are using NGINX ingress, you *definitely* want to investigate alternatives...before the next big vulnerability hits. Officially, maintenance will end in March, but you're going to want to be off by then.

I was probably 50 years old before I learned that there were people who preferred cake to pie. It was shocking to me at the time.
cake or pie? the real dividing line in this country…

We have long possessed the ability to have everyone fed, clothed and housed and have chosen not to do so. Now, this regime demands the power to commit more aggravated impoverishment.

It just pisses me off to no end to see people I might otherwise respect donating content to Musk.

@neeratanden.bsky.social , it's time. Stop giving fuel to that (dumpster) fire.

I better see no less than six stories this week in the NYT about Mamdani voters talking about their economic anxiety in Brooklyn diners and what the GOP can do to win them back.

This is a great idea. And whether you are helping Ian's area in Minneapolis or your own local food bank, please remember that donating money to a food bank is one of the most efficient ways to help those in need!
I’m raising money for Groveland Emergency Food Shelf, a South Minneapolis nonprofit that provides emergency groceries for those in need. They’re currently struggling to keep up with demand, and they’re getting their first $16k in donations matched.

I’ve got $50 on it! Can anyone match me?

Inspired by @anatosaurus.bsky.social ... I decided that my local food bank's needs are even more important than the neighborhood kids. I just donated $100 to the food bank (about twice what I spent on Halloween candy). If you can: find your local food bank and do the same!

The ability to remove your post when a hostile account quote-tweets you is a great feature of Bluesky.

To do it, go to their quote-tweet of you, click on the three dots in the bottom right, then click “detach quote.”

It shows up as “removed by author.”

Organizing is essential. Courage is contagious. Social proof is persuasive.
People do the thing they think people like them do.
My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."
They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.
Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

📣 NEW: In which I finally put that absurd 2013 WSJ graphic to good use.

2026 #ACA Window Shopping is LIVE in Georgia, Idaho, Nevada, New York and Virginia.

Here's how much premiums will ACTUALLY spike for 4 households starting January 1st if they don't shop around.

In which I finally put that absurd 2013 WSJ graphic to good use
Twelve years ago, the Wall St. Journal ran a story about the impact of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which was a sweeping tax bill signed into law by President Obama which locked in the Bush tax cuts for lower & middle-class households while allowing them to expire on schedule for wealthier Americans: A compromise measure, the Act gives permanence to the lower rate of much of the Bush tax cuts, while retaining the higher tax rate at upper income levels that became effective on January 1 due to the expiration of the Bush tax cuts. It also establishes caps on tax deductions and credits for those at upper income levels. It does not tackle federal spending levels to a great extent, rather leaving that for further negotiations and legislation. The American Taxpayer Relief Act passed by a wide majority in the Senate, with both Democrats and Republicans supporting it, while most of the House Republicans opposed it. The WSJ story, titled "How Much Will Your Taxes Jump?," led to widespread derision at the time for wringing its hands over wealthy people having to go back to (gasp) paying a few percent more of their sky-high incomes in taxes.
