I mean, find me a single American tech organisation that *isn’t* full of right wing libertarians. That’s the secret lurking in open source - it’s actually a weird combo of gun-toting anti-government survivalists and radical progressives* who have managed for years to share some similar goals […]

@www.jvt.me I enjoyed it - though I found it difficult to avoid AI in any capacity. It did function as a bit of any eye-opener though. My org is fairly sceptical of AI so we don't see much, if any, usage. The rest of the industry though? Not so much. I get the impression I should be capable of […]

I'm begging you, please, I appreciate you have a lot to get across but I have 49 other candidate CV/Letters to sift. Your 1500 word letter just makes it harder to see if you've covered the things we're looking for.

A golden Corgi lies on a sofa, his head propped up on a pillow. He is giving the camera extreme side eye (probably because I take way too many pictures).

Sometimes you look at your #HomeLab running all sorts of things (like your home network DNS) on #k8s on VMs on #Proxmox and you think "maybe this is all a bit too complicated?" But then you reboot one of the nodes for updates and it all keeps ticking. It's really very clever.

Note to self. When taking old unopened Lego sets you find in the attic to a charity shop do yourself a favour and check eBay first. When the assistant say's "ooh, they don't make this any more" you should definitely have checked.
