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.

I did! It was a no-cameras-allowed tour though, so you'll have to take my word on it.

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!

☆彡 Did you know Headlamp runs on both desktop and web, with plugins that adapt to each? Build your own, mix pre-made ones, and shape the Kubernetes UI you actually want.

☆彡 What if you could extend your Kubernetes dashboard to also visualize other CNCF tools running in your cluster — all with plugins?

Now we have @wiggitywhitney.bsky.social telling us how to trust a liar. Or creating a journal application with Claude code and open telemetry.

The funniest part is that @lmktfy.bsky.social didn't even notice me when he was taking the photo of the menu.

(・・？) What if your Kubernetes dashboard only showed what you’re allowed to do?

☆彡 A K8s dashboard isn’t required, but it can make clusters easier to explore & share - great for platform engineering!

In this 🌩️Thunder, @joaquimrocha.com shows how Headlamp stays user-friendly while being extensible.

Joaquim Rocha is shown on the left wearing glasses and a cap, and Whitney Lee is on the right smiling brightly.

You do have to put up with me talking about supply chain security, but I'm really blown away by the quality of speakers we have this year. Keynotes include @lizrice.com @mt165.co.uk , @hannahfoxwell.net @lianmakesthings.bsky.social , @mccune.org.uk and @wiggitywhitney.bsky.social .

KubeCon Europe is accepting talk proposals now! And the CFP closes Oct 12! That's TOMORROW!

You don’t need to be a pro speaker. You just need a story, a lesson, or an experiment worth sharing.

What tells Flagger a release is safe to keep going? What is the safety mechanism?

@stefanprodan.com tells how it decides, and when it rolls back.
