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

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.

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. ♥

I'll see you there!

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?

Ever heard of a Fitbit for cows? 🐄

Saad Ansari went from building AI for dairy farms to leading developer workflows at Databricks. A funny, surprising story about trust and the shift from barns to big data.

Here are a few favorite moments from my last day in Scotland. The People’s Story Museum was especially compelling. It showcases the lives of ordinary working people in Edinburgh, from the 18th century to just a few years ago. A museum about regular people! Imagine that!
