Several times a week, I clean out my notebook and my head. This means a few thoughts, occasionally a long essay, and always some links and fun phrases and ideas I’ve collected since last episode. It’s all only lightly edited in favor of shipping.

I work in tech, so there’s a lot about what’s happening with software developers and people who run computers, for example, finally getting back to developers after seven years of container fun or The Eternal Recurrence of DevOps.

But, there’s plenty of just normal, real life stuff like the eternal struggle to get kids to school or what America looks like to expat eyes.

If you’d prefer to subscribe to an RSS feed instead of the email newsletter, here is the feed for my newsletter.

And, for more about me, check out my home page on the World Wide Web.

I work at VMware Tanzu by Broadcom. All the views in my newsletter are my own and not associated with VMware Tanzu.

For links, I catch-up on hundreds of RSS feeds most mornings, look at the Software Defined Talk Slack channels, of course check Techmeme, and other sources that come along. Two people in particular deserve mention: Richard Seroter’s Daily Reading List and Assaf Arkin’s Labnotes. Both are amazing, I find so much there that I like, and I appreciate their effort. You should follow them directly.
