Had fun attending my first #LondonDevOps talk with some work colleagues ✨

The Uber hack is quite severe and wide ranging. Wishing their blue teams the best of luck and love during this understandably difficult period. Some thoughts & observations based on what we've seen so far 👉 1/N

[Karim Abu-Seer @KarimDoesTech]

Awesome talk from @amit_sinha on his career so far - some really interesting insights. Massive thanks to @makersacademy for putting on the talk!

[Karim Abu-Seer @KarimDoesTech]

@seadahmetovic @WeAreDevs thanks dude! Going with some engineers from the team, super excited!

[Karim Abu-Seer @KarimDoesTech]

Super excited to have booked in attending my first conference! Attending @WeAreDevs 's Berlin conference this summer.

[Karim Abu-Seer @KarimDoesTech]

@marileezafari Me. They look pretty terrifying 😨

A fellow @makersacademy alumni who I've been mentoring through their job hunt has just landed their first role - and at the company I work at! So happy for the dude in question; he's been on the hunt for a while, and his hardwork has paid off. Buzzed

@sunnilabeouf What did it do? 👀👀

[Karim Abu-Seer @KarimDoesTech]

I don't work with JS outside of personal projects, but definitely pouring one out for my homie Axios

[Karim Abu-Seer @KarimDoesTech]

@DavidSeek I feel this, it's nuts dude.

[Karim Abu-Seer @KarimDoesTech]

Somehow missed @TechTeamWeekly restarting! V excited for this

[Tech Team Weekly @TechTeamWeekly]

S2E2 is out! This week, we're discussing #goals vs #habits - topical with the arrival of a new year!

Even with @neilstudd and @gwendiagram's love for getting off topic, we've managed to keep it shorter 🙌

On Friday, a few of us spent our day training a GPT-3 model - the end result is a dungeon crawler that outputs in quasi-Haikus. The future is truly here

[Karim Abu-Seer @KarimDoesTech]

Not software, but spent the weekend building a new PC. Always super super fun.

@Korrag4 @Cacophanus means gatekeeping access to a community of people who enjoy or are associated with - by making them feel unwelcome. Have you ever seen (etc) a noob to a hobby making an incorrect lore statement & get ripped/made to feel unwelcome? That's more what I associate with it

[Karim Abu-Seer @KarimDoesTech]

@Korrag4 @Cacophanus @Korrag4 @Cacophanus hard disagree. I'm a little suprised that you guys don't think that there at least some communities that are insular against normies. Gatekeeping != Gatekeeping physical access to a hobby's materials (e.g cancelling someone's Netflix subscription). It (1/2)

[Karim Abu-Seer @KarimDoesTech]

Bad take. Have spent years helping looking after one of the world's biggest tabletop wargaming clubs, and trying to work to make the community welcoming requires serious work. Gatekeeping is certainly a thing, even if you haven't experienced it.

I like it, though I once had a flatwhite and a double espresso in the same day. Legit thought I was ill. Sweats/tremors lol
