Two weeks. No laptop. No calls. No Slack. Just a sailing boat, the Finnish coastline, the Åland Islands, and Sweden’s archipelago. When we don't step away, we risk making smaller and smaller decisions inside the same narrow headspace. This is your sign to fully unplug for a couple of weeks! ⛵️

Busy today re-stocking our wood supplies so that we can continue to cozy up around a real fire over the festive period! I bring the wood, my boys keep the fire going, and my wife makes the best hot chocolate! 🪵🔥☕️

Tensions are high in the Ross household, as the boys prepare for the Constructors Cup (of hot chocolate)! Last year we saw some very imaginative uses of icing sugar to help the structure endure more thumps from my rolling pin! 🏠🔨🍬

Happy festive everyone! 🎄❄ However you choose to spend this festive period, I wish you and your loved ones the very best!

Excitement builds in the Ross household as we kick off the annual Brandy Butter competition! My eldest is optimistic that 2024 is his year to take the (chocolate) crown this year! 🎄🥃🧈👑

Is it just me that's permanently disappointed at exactly how well going for even a short walk can change your brain juices for the better?

The CNCF Platforms Working Group needs your input! After the Platform Engineering Maturity Model's success, we're now focusing on Platform-as-a-Product. Can you share your real-world experiences by completing our survey?

There’s something special about delivering a talk in your home town. Many thanks to everyone who attended my keynote speech for Digit Expo in Edinburgh and asked such great questions! 🙌

Another packed room! I snapped this photo myself beforehand!

My kids asked me at what age do you stop getting excited by snowfall … I told them I’d let them know as soon as it happens to me. ☃️

Sub-zero temperatures means it’s officially that time of year again! 🔥🥃

Oooft! Similar story here … look after yourself! My recent watch data says it all!

This week, I joined some of our executive customers for a private dining experience at Hutong in the Shard. It was wonderful to connect personally in such a stunning setting with delicious food. A fantastic evening I hope we can repeat in the New Year.

Thank you, Stockholm, for the warm welcome and great questions on prioritizing vulnerabilities specific to your applications and environment. If you're interested in my thoughts on vulnerability vs. exposure management, feel free to reach out!

Many US friends in disbelief today. I was going to post something empathic about the uk brexit vote, but instead, here’s my contribution. I can’t promise any better, but our baby cows look like this 🐮

Big thanks to the folks at DIGIT for inviting me to present at this this years expo in Edinburgh. It's great to get an opportunity to speak in my home town, and I'm proud to support Scotland's biggest tech showcase! It's free to attend and I'd love to see you there. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Scotland vs Fiji 🏉 Great sportsmanship from Scotland tonight as they applauded each Fiji point tonight. All the tingles as 60,000 Scot’s sing Flower of Scotland. Also, my son’s first Mexican wave! 👋

Today I met up with a friend an ex-colleague that I've not seen in 15 years! I'm not sure who needs to hear it, but this is your prompt to reach out to someone you've not spoken to in a long time. You can thank me later!

Who fancies joining me and the @GitLab team at @RedHat Summit in Stockholm next week? I'll be giving a short talk on the increasing challenge of staying up to date with software vulnerabilities and how you can prioritise and fix them faster.
