I write code, run infrastructure, and build things.
I love learning how things work and hacking around on existing things to make them work better.

I used to have ambition. I used to want to lead. I've stood watching the things I care about being systematically destroyed and everything is so fucked we don't know where to start unfucking this mess.
I don't have ambition anymore. I just have a fire burning inside and just want to do things.

I'm so infuriated that children have died in Texas because of silicon valley tech bro bullshit libertarianism like Retire All Government Employees (RAGE) from Curtis Yarvin. Which was then encapsulated in Project 2025, then executed by DOGE. They've had real world consequences. Fatal ones.

I like that "Taskmaster" is trending on Bluesky every Thursday/Friday. 😁 If you haven't watched it yet, it's so much fun. For the first time the show has an American as a contestant. Jason Manzoukas brings an element of delightful chaos to the show that I'm very much here for.

I built a Bjorn! He’s trying hard to find insecurities in my network.
Maybe I’ll throw out a Postgres instance with a weak password to see if Bjorn will find it.

This is why when Democrats put their faith in law, I know we're truly doomed. Oregon law is that LEOs aren't supposed to be doing this, but who's stopping them? What's the consequences? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Laws are weaponized against us but don't protect us. We protect us.

If you don't think this is coming for you, look at Portland 2020 when the same types of people showed up and tear gassed the shit out of us. The difference is now that the courts have given them air cover, and nobody has faced any consequences for anything in 2020.

Unbelievable!
Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware.

3 day weekends are less fun when I have the destructive force of my boys and their friends.
Good news, I have a Planka chore board to get back on track. 😁

Working with Rust lately has taught me that I find myself more concerned with rapid prototyping and speed of delivery over correctness in my projects.
I’m finding Typescript and Go to be a good combo for this.
I really want to figure out how to do more Rust but I think it’s just not time yet.

Got my tickets for @hackboat.org. 2025 is going to be security focused for me, the nautical nature is an homage to my Kubernetes roots. 🚢

Look deep in your neighborhoods and communities. There are groups who are working hard to keep everyone safe. Mutual aid networks are there.
If you can't find mutual aid networks, time to roll up your sleeves.

If you are looking around wondering where the helpers are, remember that a lot of the help isn't safe happening in the public view right now.
Helpers are helping, but a lot of us are doing it quietly.

I feel this deep in my bones. For me it's the fire I have to build technology and offer it for free to better humankind.
I still believe in a future where knowledge saves us. That future can't be monetized. When you ask the question: "How can we make money on this?" It's a race to the bottom.

I really wish I could describe GenZ what it felt like growing up in a miracle. My grandfather on my mother's side was a dentist. He had a grand encyclopedia collection and it was just this incredible thing. You could pick up a random book and go to a random page and just be regaled with information

I got laid off over a year ago and it has still impacts me to this day. The role I was in was the high point of my career. I feel for the people who are getting laid off. It's a really shitty experience. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with unabated capitalism in tech.
