Hello, World — and Why I Started Writing
- #meta
- #devops
I spend most of my days keeping software running — chasing incidents across Docker and Kubernetes, reading logs and metrics until the root cause gives, and automating the toil that shouldn’t need a person. This is where I’ll write some of it down.
Why write it down
Most of what I learn lives in places nobody reads twice: a runbook that went stale, the one Grafana panel that actually mattered, a postmortem lost in a wiki. Writing forces me to make that knowledge clear — first for myself, then for whoever hits the same wall later.
What to expect
- Incidents — what broke, how I tracked it down, and what I’d do differently.
- Observability — Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki, and pulling signal from noise.
- Platform & tooling — CI/CD, containers, and automation that pays for itself.
- Project notes — like LogPilot, my local-first, AI-powered log investigation platform.
These tend to show up after I break something interesting enough to explain.
