Hello, World — Why I'm Starting to Write Here
After years of writing for other publications, I'm starting a blog of my own. Here's what I plan to cover and why having a home base matters.
I’ve been writing about Kubernetes, cloud-native security, and open source for a while now — for SUSE, The New Stack, Cloud Native Now, and others. But those posts live on other people’s platforms, under other people’s domain names.
This is mine.
What this blog is for
Not every idea fits a conference abstract. Not every opinion fits a publication’s editorial angle. Some things are better explored in writing, at length, without a word count limit or a publication deadline.
I plan to write here about:
- Cloud-native security — supply chain integrity, cluster hardening, the gap between what the documentation says and what production looks like
- Platform engineering — what self-service actually means, why developer enablement is harder than it looks, the platforms developers love vs the ones they route around
- Observability — OpenTelemetry, eBPF, context propagation, and why “more dashboards” is not a strategy
- Open source — lessons from maintaining sshj and smbj for longer than I care to admit
- The occasional opinion — on the industry, on tooling, on things that bother me
A note on placeholders
Most of the talk abstracts and content on this site are still placeholders — I built this site to have somewhere to point event organizers, and the content will fill in over time. Same goes here: this post is a stake in the ground more than a manifesto.
More soon.
