Sometimes you just never know who reads your blogs/tweets. One of the most innovative developers I followed was James Strachan . I was in complete surprise when the one time we met that he said he read my blog that was about software engineering.

This is your regular reminder that, if you provide a minimal executable example of your problem, an OSS maintainer is 3000% more likely to help you.

hermit is a really nice solution for setting up specific versions of developer tools in any git repository which also works great in GitHub Actions & Jenkins cashapp.github.io/hermit/ with the shell integration just ‘cd’ to a directory to setup your PATH. Same tool versions FTW 🎉

Working with you has been inspiring, a fantastic opportunity to learn, and extremely fun! 🥳
Excited for what you'll do next and look forward to when our paths cross again! 🥂

today's my last day working at . thanks to all the Bees I've worked with over the years. I'm proud of what we've achieved with Jenkins X: its a pretty hard problem automating CI/CD on any kubernetes cluster/cloud! I'm excited to start my next adventure on 1st September

Having fun with #observability #tracing for #gitops: in you can now see "gitops traces", with the lifecycle of the different pull requests, to help you understand the promotion process. Powered by and github.com/jenkins-x/ligh

I just wrote a blog post on the importance of Continuous Integration in the context of a #gitops workflow: why it's not common enough, the impacts, and how we can improve this situation.

That's really interesting. I've always seen this in the lights of a management cluster "pattern", e.g. as described by CAPI: cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/user/concepts.
JenkinsX solves this more decentralized by setting up each cluster with its own operator watching is own repo via jx, correct?

I'll be talking at #GrafanaCONline today about how we are using in . Come if you're using Grafana in Kubernetes, and are curious about writing apps on top of it, easily exposing new datasources and dashboards to your Grafana instance

I can't overstate how awesome is...
First from sciencing the shit out of software delivery with Accelerate.
Then doing it again for developer productivity with the SPACE framework.
And also being an awesome role model & advocate🙌(saving this story for cdcon)

It also side-steps the usual hassle in corporate environments in getting the required permissions to do this on your local dev setup. I keep telling the devs it's not practical/useful to test locally.
