@googlecloud #imakubernaut because Kubernetes powered the smoothest production deployment of my career.

@JLabAudio Bought our kiddos JBuddies which shows a reasonably sized USB-C charging cable on the box, but in reality the cable is maybe 6 inches. What’s with the deceptive picture on the box?

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

@starbuxman love the new buildpack support in Spring Boot 2.3.x! Is there a way to change the base image that used? I'd like to use distroless as the base, if possible. I couldn't find anything in the documentation, but I've been know to miss things before 😅

@UPMC_CCP Any idea what's going on with the phones at the Wexford office? I haven't been able to get through since this morning. Just rings forever.

@WPXI Can you help me raise awareness of a fundraising walk for kids and families affected by #TSC? My 2 yr old son has the disease and my wife is chairperson of the W. PA walk and we'd appreciate any help!

@WPXI_Courtney Would you be able to help get the word out about a fundraising walk for kids and families affected by a generic disease that causes tumors to grow in the brain, heart, eyes and kidneys of the afflicted? My wife is the chairperson and can give more details. Thanks!
