Not every day you see the Northern Lights. Great first evening in Reykjavik, Iceland.

I am looking for a full-time job.

Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.

If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂
Thanks for the head’s up about the move away from Substack. My email landed in my junk box, in case anyone else is looking for theirs. Added to safe sender list to avoid a repeat!

Beautiful clarity today in Edinburgh to catch the last of the autumn colours

#Edinburgh #Autumn
Last week I focused on Kubernetes, the second largest open-source project. Between @pragmaticengineer.com's podcast and @kcduk.bsky.social 2025 in Edinburgh, I've learned a lot about what Kubernetes has to offer, so I decided to write a blog post!

Learning Kubernetes: Nodes, Pods, Karpenter, KEDA, Community Days UK, and more!
Reflecting on the past week educating myself on the second largest open-source project.

I forgot the clocks changed and I wondered why I was awake so early … but it paid off!
Good morning from Edinburgh!

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.
It was a great evening! And thank you @nicolasturgeon.bsky.social for taking the first question from me in the Q&A, it was a pleasure to hear from you in-person.
I’d be interested to hear more on this if you make any further findings. I was surprised to hear the impact on HMRC during this incident.
Had a fantastic couple days at Kubernetes Community Days (KCD) UK this week, hosted in my home city of Edinburgh. We had a fantastic sunset against Arthur’s Seat after the first day.

Can’t make this one but hope to make a future event, thanks for sharing.
Something something it was on the fence about falling over … terrible attempt at a pun finished.
Ouch, what happened there? Vehicle drive through it?
One month into working with Go, now felt like the right time to step back and reflect on what I’ve learned so far. My latest blog post focuses on Go’s compatibility commitments and the release of Go 1.25.

Hello, world! Let’s talk about Go and MLOps. As I start a new chapter in my software development career, it’s time to start a new series of blog posts too.

Thanks for raising this. I live in close proximity to the station and hope to see it rebuilt rather than closed.
Thanks for coming! I enjoyed hearing from both you and Denise, and just finished reading my copy of your book following the event, which I’ve really enjoyed. 😊
First time I’ve taken the gamble but it paid off. 😄 That’s me almost finished Paperboy now as well!
