What’s making me happy 07-05-2017

Went hiking to Uloola Falls this weekend - was the first truly lengthy hike since my arrival in Australia, feels good to be back in the game.

Mastodon is another distributed social network which seems to be taking off a bit better than Diaspora. Interesting to see how they’ll fare in the long run.

Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes is a great course on the foundations of Kubernetes held by Kelsea Hightower, who’s a fantastic teacher in my experience.

Great keynote on Jepsen by Kyle Kingsbury. I frequent the Aphyr blog but watching Kyle’s talks is, in my opinion, much more entertaining and digestible. This is one of the more useful talks I’ve seen this year.

A great post on estimates by Dan Slimmon describing how to do more humane project management. Nothing new if you’ve been a PM for a long time and liked statistics in Uni, but I cannot say true to either of those so found it useful.

Remote to my Evolve GT board is finally fixed so I’m back to crusining around. My trip on Saturday was full of detours to escape traffic but boy, was it fun.
