Kubernetes is changing one of the scheduler’s oldest assumptions: "Pod is always the right unit of scheduling". In this deep dive, we will walk through Workload-Aware Scheduling in Kubernetes, focusing on the API contract and the internals of gang scheduling. helayoty.substack.com/p/workload-a...

AI is moving the bottleneck in software teams from writing code to reviewing it. If 50% of AI-generated patches that pass tests get rejected by maintainers, the scarce resource isn't coding speed; it's judgment. Wrote a deep analysis on what this means for systems engineers 🧵 #Kubernetes #kubecon

Kubernetes is working to introduce Workload-aware scheduling to the core, which will allow users to use gang scheduling for their workloads. If you are running AI/ML or batch workload in Kubernetes, keep tracking this work.

The result is that contributors going forward are protected in ways I was not... What makes the difference unmistakable is the contrast between leadership and the community. CNCF management did not uphold the values the foundation claims to represent. The contributors and maintainers did 💚.

Under the framework now in place, the process, the responsibility, and the outcome would have been different. I didn’t receive an apology or acknowledgment that today’s rules would require, but that did not stop me from pushing to ensure these gaps were closed.

1.5 years after publishing my reflection on that experience, the CNCF is now updating its Code of Conduct and has published new FAQ guidance that finally addresses the behaviors that were allowed to escalate in my case.

To every lawful immigrant and naturalized citizen who recognizes themselves in this: you are not guests in this country. We are Americans. We have the right to speak, to vote, to organize, and we will use those rights to defend our place here. @whitehouse-47.bsky.social

Heba Elayoty @helayoty.org · 30/11/2025
When lawful, tax-paying, highly skilled immigrants feel unwelcome or afraid, the country loses innovation, investment, and long-term commitment. Driving out people who help build this country is not strength; it is self-inflicted damage. #Immigration #USCitizenship #EqualCitizenship

Heba Elayoty @helayoty.org · 30/11/2025
Section 212(f) is about controlling the entry of non-citizens at the border, not about downgrading the rights of existing U.S. citizens. This climate not only harms immigrant families, but it also harms the United States.
160
Heba Elayoty @helayoty.org · 30/11/2025
Under U.S. law and the Constitution, naturalized citizens have the same rights as any other citizens. We are NOT guests. Our citizenship is NOT temporary, and it cannot be treated as something that can be taken away just because a politician dislikes our background or our opinions.
183
Heba Elayoty @helayoty.org · 30/11/2025
The irony is that U.S. policies helped make my region unlivable, and then my family came here believing in America’s promise of “real democracy”, rule of law, and equal citizenship ... only to hear talk of “denaturalizing migrants” and treating our citizenship as if it were conditional.
173
Heba Elayoty @helayoty.org · 30/11/2025
If it were not for decades of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, I would probably never have considered leaving my home. In my view, wars, interventions, and so-called “democracy promotion” helped destabilize our region and pushed many ordinary families to look for safety elsewhere.

Heba Elayoty @helayoty.org · 30/11/2025
I am a naturalized U.S. citizen. I came here legally on a work visa, work in a high-demand field where employers struggle to find enough qualified people, and I pay a high amount in federal, state, and local taxes every year. Families like mine are not a “burden”; we are net contributors to America.
162
Heba Elayoty @helayoty.org · 30/11/2025
When this language is amplified by the official White House channel, it is no longer just one politician’s rhetoric. It is being presented as the voice of the U.S. government. Lawful immigrants and naturalized citizens hear it as a warning, not as a “debate” about policy.
182
Heba Elayoty @helayoty.org · 30/11/2025
I see a direct message to families like mine, lawful immigrants and naturalized citizens who did everything the right way and are now being spoken about as if we are a problem to be managed or removed.

Heba Elayoty @helayoty.org · 30/11/2025
