A while back I got interviewed on The Hedge podcast about Jurassic Cloud, old interfaces and the evolution of compute landscape. Sadly I neglected to tweet about it 🤦🏻♀️

Computers only have a history stretching back some 60 or 70 years—and yet much of that history has already been lost in this mist of time. Are we focusing so deeply on the future that we have forgotten our past? What might we learn from the past, even the recent past, and how does forgetting our past impact the future. Federico Lucifredi joins @tomammon and Russ White to discuss some of his projects finding, repairing, and operating old personal computers.

When network engineers think of a data center, we think of fabrics and routers and switches. There is a lot more to a data center, though—there is power, building construction, environmentals, and a lot of others. What possible jobs are out there in the data center space for people who want to work in IT, but don't either want to code or build networks? Carrie Goetz, author of Jumpstart Your Career in Data Centers joins @tomammon and Russ White to tell us about a few, and about the importance of other careers in the data center.

"I'm gonna get this perfect!"
Perfect for...what? A changing world and problem set where that perfect match won't last anyway? The vast majority of the time, your design is against a target that shifts over time and chasing perfection is a waste of energy. Be practical too.

You can either deal with stuff tactically a thousand times, or deal with it at the systems level. It feels like more work to go the systems thinking route, but I can assure you it's not. It's not by a long shot.

Fantastic article from @SharpNetwork : esharp.net/the-work-we-want/. I especially appreciated her thoughts around making the people and systems around you better, definitely worth a read!

Gaze not into the abyss, lest you become recognized as an abyss domain expert, and they expect you keep gazing into the damn thing.

Had lots of fun podcasting with @rtggeek and @tomammon about China's IPv6 ambitions and how they tell a tale about the global fight over tech standards. Also why I will never again try to explain cricket to Americans
