We’re the Kubernetes Community Days Istanbul organizers powered by community spirit and fair amount of caffeine.

Huge thanks to every speaker, sponsor and attendee who made this possible ❤️🫂

We’re tired. We’re proud. And yes, we’re already thinking about next year.

Many thanks to @kcd.istanbul team for having me this year. Starting to spread the word for the @rust-lang.org‬ Operator SDK plugin was very important for me, and I am glad that I could do it at a KCD event in the city where I live. #rust #kubernetes #operators

It was a nice suprise to see Rust in action in the season 4 of #HowToSellDrugsOnlineFast #Netflix series. In Rust we tRust:)

I started to use the bookmark that my daugther designed and handcrafted for me, for my #rust readings. Cool, right?🤗

One of the hardest things to explain to people without ADHD:

• when it’s interesting, I can start on it
• when it’s uninteresting, I can’t

Note that the second one is not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T.

I have to convince my brain it is interesting to even get started.

Working on something that will make my new Crustacean charm-buddy more meaningful. Hoping to announce it soon as I am a few steps away from what I initially thought. #kubernetes #operators #operatorsdk #kubebuilder

I've been experiencing Rust generics, trait bounds, and their lifetimes for some time as a newbie Rustacean. It is both fun and not fun:)
