k8s folks alway say "infrastructure should be boring", but we spend a lot of time on fancy non-boring stuff, like (eg) horizontal pod autoscaling.

So here's a counterfactual thread: what if k8s WAS boring?

What if `kubectl` proactively told you how your deployment was going?
What if `kubectl` proactively gave you specific, information about what caused your deployment to fail? What if that information DID NOT require wiring up complex monitoring services or buying some SaaS?
What if `kubectl` allowed you to easily inspect JSON diffs (rather than text diffs) of every change you made to your config code, and got a specific breakdown of how that change cascades through the kube resources in your app?
What if we got rid of the "gotchas"? What if a change to the data in a ConfigMap just triggers a rollout among all Deployments that reference it, like users actually expect?

github.com/pulumi/example…
What if, in < 60 lines of code, it was possible to model a rollout between several Deployments of increasing size, and gate success on whether Prometheus metrics tank?

github.com/pulumi/example…
What if you could trivially install a Helm chart and get all of this information, immediately seeing whether it succeeded or not? <duplicate post of the first gif, but it's installing the Wordpress Chart if you didn't notice>

github.com/pulumi/example…
What if it was trivial to freely intermingle k8s resources with public cloud resources? This example declares CosmosDB, and then uses that to create a Kubernetes secret, so that a node.js app can reference it!

github.com/pulumi/example…
We SAY k8s should be boring, but have you ever just installed {a Helm chart, Istio, whatever} to a cluster and _just wondered what happened_? Until it's easy to say, maybe we've failed!
Well, that's the world I want to live in. That's why I'm working on @PulumiCorp, an OSS deployment engine. I want infra teams to be able to hand a k8s app to any user, I want for it to be trivial to deploy and operationalize. That's my goal.
If that's your jam too, give it a spin! pulumi.com/kubernetes I'd love to hear your feedback. Here, DMs, on slack, in our issues. Whatever. #makeK8sBoring

THREAD: This year, I spend a lot of time reading, thinking about, and discussing the future of artificial intelligence in health care. I want to share some of my impressions, recommendations for non-technical learning in the space, and hopes for the future. 1/
Quickly, why me: I studied cognitive science 20 years ago @UCBerkeley, which included survey courses on AI, but before important developments in deep learning/neural networks. Now I work in health policy, focusing on health IT, interoperability, and health data exchange. 2/
I’m going to cite @KaiFuLee’s excellent book, “AI Superpowers”, which explores progress in AI so far, areas in which China/US have the advantage, and future considerations--jobs, threats, and humanity itself. I strongly recommend it, even/especially for non-technical people. 3/

Why I decided to oppose @MBuhari - @bukolasaraki addresses followers in Kwara State 👇

"All that you have complained about tonight is on point, I can not find anything you have said that is not on point, you complained about empowerment" @bukolasaraki
"Let us agree that the last 3 and a half years, things have not been easy at all, I agree and accept things have not been easy at all, particularly in the area of empowerment" @bukolasaraki
"Before 2015 I have always tried to empower the youth and get you involved in appointments, but this time around as a result of what I call human factor, things have not been the same, I believe it is the will of God" @bukolasaraki

THREAD: There's been some confusion about the Proud Boys having POC members.

People keep asking, "How can they be white nationalists?"

Technically, they're not. They're "reactionary nationalists."

But they don't mind organizing with white nationalists.

Here's what that means.
2) Researcher Matthew Lyons defines the "far right" as forces that "(a) regard human inequality as natural, inevitable, or desirable and (b) reject the legitimacy of the established political system."

This is a *very* useful working definition: threewayfight.blogspot.com/2018/04/insurg…
3) Did you see anything about race in that definition?

Nope.

That's because a lot of the forces we're seeing don't explicitly organize on the basis of white racial solidarity.

They also don't mind organizing alongside those who do.

Ok. It’s time to go into Joshua’s memory box and tell his story #thread
Joshua was very much a rainbow baby 🌈 and we were so excited and over the moon when I finally made it into the second trimester. (Alex and I are both big rugby fans!)
I was working as a 1st year Registrar in A&E when I suddenly broke my waters at 24 weeks. I was transferred to Southampton @UHSFT who have a specialist level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. They were wonderful, and did everything they could to stop my labour over Father’s Day.

I missed catching Grassley's opening statement live and I'm kind of glad for it. The quotes are disgusting.
Chuck Grassley just told Diane Feinstein that "other issues will be considered at other times". Is that a promise, @ChuckGrassley? #KavanaughHearings
The hitch in Dr. Blasey's voice as she reads her opening statement is gutwrenching.

The 9 Pillars of Business Success

In this thread, I want to share with you several valuable business lessons which will make you a lot of money, if you take heed of the advice.

Before you start making millions, you really need a firm grasp of the fundamentals.
1. Knowing your market, and which market segment you're after

This is arguably the most important aspect of business.

You can screw up every other pillar, but if you have your market dialed in, you'll still find success.
1. Continued...

The best way to do this, is to create a customer avatar.

What are your ideal clients demographics? Ex: Age, sex, job title, political standing.

Next, what are their psychographics?

What do they want? Why?
What are their fears and frustrations?
