Happy @KubeCon_ CfP results day, everyone! While I understand the incredible disappointment that comes with a talk being rejected, trashing the program committee/event organizers publicly is not fair game.

🧵.Since it's CfP season, here are some great blogs with advice on how to write a conference proposal that gets accepted. Disclaimer: I do not guarantee acceptance. Most of it is just really great advice that I think will benefit folks.

I have seen disillusioned tweets from many folks who have been prescribed OSS & remote jobs as the magic wand that fixes career trajectories. I proffer this 🧵 not as advice, but as my lived experience.

(1/2).Exciting news!. Over the past few months, I received a lot of requests seeking 1:1 technical writing mentorship. While it'd be impossible to extend such mentorship due to the sheer volume, I wanted to announce that I'll be publishing a book around technical writing.

🧵.(1/n).When I started learning about containerization, there was a lot of confusion around how to get started. So, when I got the opportunity to create a course for Rancher Academy, I decided to make one that'd address this gap.

A friend is looking to hire a mid-senior level python developer in the cloud and containers space. Please DM me if you're interested and I can patch you with him. P.S. Patching does not equal a referral from my side. P.P.S. RT/like for good karma. #TechisHiring.

This week/end has been very difficult as a family member of a front line worker. With the number of Covid cases rising in India (and in Mumbai), the health infrastructure collapsing, & the underlying politics behind it all, it is really hard to not feel disillusioned.

One of the most common questions I'm asked on my DMs is: "How do I get involved in Open Source". Most of the time due to lack of context, I am unable to provide a decent answer. But I'm hoping to change that with this experiment of-sorts.

A Twitter rant on fair pay (or lack of it):.(1/n). In 2013 when I joined IT, I was told to keep my "compensation" a secret from my peers. This wasn't a guideline. It was a policy. You weren't "allowed" to talk about it.
