@gprussell @m_f_ @artem_bilan @Dsyer @snicoll @ankinson @phillip_webb @sobychacko @springxdtwit @markpollack @ilayaperumalg @madhurabhave23 Gary, you are legend. I want to thank you because way back in 2009 I enrolled in a 3-day Spring 3.0 workshop in Kirkland, Wa that YOU delivered. It ignited a spark in me that has never gone out. You are such a humble individual. Wishing the best for you in your future endeavors.

As someone who was fortunate enough to work for both Pivotal and VMware, I can honestly say there are a LOT of great people - with loads of talent and drive - who may be looking for new opportunities now/in the near future. Do yourself a solid and hire them while you can! ❤️

It's #blackfriday 2023. Have you upgraded to Spring Boot 3.2.0 yet? I just did. https://t.co/FHGNdpH0hx #springbootrocks #confidenceboost #justdoit

[Chris Phillipson @fastnsilver]

You’ll want to add that flag as a parameter or envvar at runtime too. #sfsg #womm

When you have Spring Cloud 2022.0.x dependencies on classpath (e.g., Spring Cloud Stream), you want to update to Spring Boot 3.2.0, and you attempt a build, try adding -Dspring.cloud.compatibility-verifier.enabled=false. You're welcome! #springboot #springcloud #hacks 😁

[Chris Phillipson @fastnsilver]

@dashaun What? That’s awesome! Had no idea you were training to do something like that. Congrats!

[Chris Phillipson @fastnsilver]

@starbuxman “I can complete that upgrade inside of a week.” Says the overconfident dev who didn’t author the large monolithic heritage enterprise code base that’s stuck on dependecies and dead supported libraries - so eager to demonstrate prowess upon.

@nebhale I’m going to miss him.

[Chris Phillipson @fastnsilver]

@nebhale Stephane left a lasting impression on me and so many. I’m heart broken and extremely saddened. He labored and listened in order to drive Reactor adoption in the OSS community. He brought a huge level of empathy. 1-n

[Chris Phillipson @fastnsilver]

@nebhale …a dozen developers and architects. He was unflappable. At last minute we secured a hotel conference room and he proceeded to deliver a personalized workshop. He stayed, answered questions afterward long past the scheduled finish. He really cared. And it showed through deeply.

[Chris Phillipson @fastnsilver]

@nebhale I remember him helping me out at Boeing. He had made trip to St Louis to deliver a workshop on Spring Webflux and Reactor. He had forgotten to bring his passport - Boeing security would not let non-American citizens on premise without. So we quickly made other arrangements for…

I’m looking for a curated experience that just works for developers and ops folks alike. #weareworkingonthat

When will I be able to use nothing but yaml, git, kubectl + a cd supply chain (declared/deployed w/ nothing but yaml) to go from 0 to I have an app (+ assoc deps, whatever they may be) running on a K8s distro of my choice (on prem or public cloud)? #toolsets #devops #wethereyet

[Chris Phillipson @fastnsilver]

Too many tools and tech. Too many CRs to install to get to a level of abstraction and promised productivity for reduced effort. I’m hopeful with what I’m seeing emerging, but we are a ways away yet. Convergence necessary.
