I posted a thumbs up emoji 👍 and my Mastodon client asked if I wanted to post it as English or Italian. I know Italians talk a lot with their hands but geez
Started off today with a long walk outdoors with my youngest and then I was going to dig into the boring work of lifting and shifting my personal Kubernetes cluster over to a new one so I could upgrade FluxCD. There are almost zero docs on how to do an in-place upgrade.
Figured I was prepared to rebuild everything today anyway so what could it hurt. Magically it took me all of 3 minutes to upgrade from an older weird beta release to the latest stable and seems to be working perfectly.
Hummus, muhamara, tzatziki. Some pita there but more off screen and grilled chicken souvlaki that we did in the wood oven. Soooo yummy and just what I needed. AND got to cook with Lavender.
@ehmatthes hah ok yeah the fire is a fire making tool for sure! The yellow gun is actually an infrared thermometer to get a rough temp of the various spots in the oven. It shoots a “laser” like the cat toys and gives you an instant surface temp reading at up to several feet.
My home office is much cleaner than usual for the first time in a year. Have been storing a lot of kitchen remodel related things in there. So I have to use it today right? 🤣
@greg@ryancheley it's above average quality for sure, I was a bit worried but these were originally intended to just be fun at PyCon. I also picked up some others like the "I'm sorry about what I said when I was debugging" one.
@frank That was the dinner conversation last night. I'm looking forward to this work!
In the old days people could only come to you with ideas. Now they can do a bit of validation before they come to you.
I think this is going to be an important role for people who know what they're doing with code. We'll use AI tools to untangle the mess built by AI tools used by people with less programming experience.
Meeting new people at PyCon or really any Python related conference is so much fun. Making them realize the people who maintain the libraries they depend on are, you know, just people like them is so much fun and so much just instilled in our community
Wait you're the guy that ... Wait the guy who just left the dinner/bar is the guy who does... HOLY SHIT. Mind blown. Your work matters, your contributions matter. It pushes us all forward and as long as we keep doing that in an open and inclusive way we're gonna succeed.
Many assume all small electronics won't last all that long. I just plugged in my Shure bluetooth headphones I got soon after Chris DiBona recommended them to me when I commented on them back at SCALE 5X in 2007 (we were giving talks in adjoining rooms). 17 years and still going
I did this last year and it worked really well. I travel out a day early to a conference (in this case PyCon US) and have a very very light day (dinner) and otherwise give myself the day to rest and hack on something. Just got a LARGE coffee and we're off!
