The KubeCon afterparties were a blast, but the highlight of my night was when Milad Vafaeifard taught me a bit of sign language!

One keynote inspiring another—that’s the beauty of open source.
Huge props to @staceypotter.bsky.social and Adolfo García Veytia for today’s fun, thoughtful keynote, inspired by @whitneylee.com and @denhamparry.co.uk's past KubeCon talk.
Community energy, full circle.

Both CNCF Ambassador @whitneylee.com and first-timer @michaeltunnell.bsky.social showed up to the Network Nook to meet new folks at #KubeCon.
Open source is built on participation, not prerequisites.
And this is exactly what that looks like. 💙

How does Pixie collect so much data without slowing anything down?

Michelle Nguyen explains how eBPF hooks safely into the kernel, storing data in memory so it stays fast, and it stays in your cluster.

It takes less than 5 minutes to start collecting data with Pixie ⚡️
Michelle Nguyen explains how one quick deploy gives you instant observability through the CLI or UI with no code changes.

At the poll today the line was sooooooo long. Maybe 70 people! Every single parking spot in the big library lot was filled.
I vote in every election, and I’ve never seen it like this.

Before Pixie, observability was tedious. Devs had to instrument every service they wanted to observe.
Michelle Nguyen shares how Pixie made application observability feel almost magical: just deploy it, and data starts flowing.

Today I did some self-reflection using Claude, and it told me this:
“Most people who can build elaborate demo automation scripts and understand Kubernetes attack vectors don’t also write code comments about spider mouth anatomy being ‘unholy nightmare fuel.’”
Hahaha. I feel seen.

SIG-Boba is always one of my very favorite KubeCon parties. I absolutely love that there’s an event centered around community and connection without alcohol.
Big love to @techwithkunal.com and @capileigh.bsky.social who make it happen. ♥

On this beautiful, lazy Saturday morning, I’ve been exploring digital journaling and tools like Obsidian. Does anyone have a digital journaling flow they especially like?
