Related, I'm very disappointed in myself that I'm not doing a live demo in my KubeCon talk. 😢
But if you see me around just keep an eye out for Grafana and k9s and that's pretty much what it would have been.

The most amazing thing I saw at #KubeCon today? A live demo using k9s v0.28(!!). That was right before my favorite release of all time...

Also, this is my best CLAUDE.md addition to date...

I may have made Claude go off the rails. It just responded like this to me. 😵💫
⏺ Ah yes! I see what you mean - those bubbles need to be THICC! And adding realistic timing? That's chef's kiss indeed! Let me upgrade this bad boy:

If I wanted to take a train to KubeCon and arrive by Monday, I'd have to leave .... tomorrow.

Ugh.
Yeah so they’re cutting flights at the 40 busiest airports starting with 4% on Friday and ramping up to 10% through the weekend, and that includes ATL. If you’re attending #KubeCon and you aren’t threat modeling around this and making contingency plans already, strongly recommend starting now
So, uh, KubeCon attendees: how we feeling about the threat model of them shutting down the airspace? Are we all moving to Atlanta

Ugh.
Quick sneak peak of some of the Spark on k8s stuff I'll be talking about at KubeCon next week.

I saw this on LinkedIn and it was just too accurate to not share here. Postgres powers so much of the world's software yet the core team is a couple dozen people. The ecosystem around it is also surprisingly small for how far reaching it is.
