Check out the new blog I put together with @robertjscott.ca about what's going on with the Ingress NGINX Controller retirement and why you should take this opportunity to shift toward using Gateway API to manage Ingress for your Kubernetes Workloads!

In "doing things that don't scale" news, I noticed that my newsletter open rate was down over the past few months to about 40-45%, and I tried a very manual thing to increase it: I asked for help?? Anyway, it worked, and now it's in the mid-50s again ✨ cassidoo.co/post/do-not-...

For folks in the Seattle area- I’m speaking TOMORROW (Jan 27, 2026) at the AICamp meetup in Bellevue! I'll be sharing how I built the Podcast Assistant MCP Server to automate content workflows and reclaim creative time. Come say hi! Register here: www.aicamp.ai/event/eventd...

"Performance engineering isn't about making things fast, it's about making them predictably fast", using percentiles not averages, designing for tail behaviour, feedback loops, and the ability to observe. "Predictability is not the goal, stability is." —Jacinta Richardson, #everythingopen #eo2026

Hello again, everything is still scary and hard and the tech job market is wild right now, so here's my semi-regular thread of open jobs I've found where your work could make the world better (or at least, not make it worse)

Ingress NGINX is being retired in March 2026. After this date, no security patches or bugfixes will be issued. Plan your migration to Gateway API or a supported controller now. Read the retirement guide: kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11...

I'm thinking of starting a software testing/QA focused newsletter! (Well, I've actually started) QA is very broad & very deep in topics. I have a lot of different interests I’ll be writing about. What areas of QA interest you?

AI is technology. Technology has tradeoffs, has human use and security implications, has good use cases and bad. Needs tests. I am neither all hype nor all critic, we need a responsible middle ground because it’s here, and it’s not going away.

I might just save this photo somewhere safe. Photo credit: @kaslin.rocks
