Giving everyone 20 votes serves no purpose but to unduly concentrate power in the hands of those with political motivation to vote 20 times rather than just once, for their favourite song. #eurovision

Going to be at #kubecon this week for the first time, looking forward to some great Kubernetes observability content!

Let me know if anyone has great talk/vendor stall recommendations!

To whomever coded the infinite scroll on the Sainsbury's grocery app...who hurt you?

Would genuinely volunteer time to help fix it, as a social good.

Ok, so it turns out #wicked was absolutely fantastic. I wasn't expecting it, but both Ariana and Cynthia absolutely knocked it out of the park.

Superb, go see it.

It very much feels like we were all tolerating twitter long enough to see the reactions when Trump lost, but without that, why put up with it?

Switching from .net to rails after ~17 years for a new role has been a hell of a ride.

It's like a really productive wild west where CPU is plentiful, and databases are still process-forked.

It's a nice language and platform, I get why people like building apps in it.
