ALT High-angle view inside a data center showing a dense network of red conduits running along metal cable trays. The cables form a strong leading line toward the back of the room, surrounded by additional blue, orange, and black wiring, structural framing, and large silver ventilation ducts overhead in a brightly lit industrial environment.
ALT Two cats posed in front of a small handmade cardboard model labeled “Data Center.” One cat lies on the floor while the other sits upright. Both wear knitted blue hats and green harnesses, styled like miniature field engineers. The model includes simple rooftop details and wiring, creating a playful, creative take on a data center environment.
Amanda pioneered a zero-cost data center.
No permits. No approvals. No budget.
Just so her cats could be part of the team.
Who else has unofficial support staff at home?
Yesterday’s quiz answer:
Concrete.
Cement production generates roughly 8% of global CO₂ emissions, making it one of the biggest levers in reducing construction carbon.
DLB’s Brian Jabeck is discussing this today at @Advan_Construct Data Center Construction West in Phoenix.
The biggest carbon source in most data centers is poured before the servers even arrive.
Which material drives the largest embodied carbon footprint?
Answer tomorrow.
DLB is in Phoenix at Advancing Data Center Construction West.

ALT Illustrated graphic of a field services engineer standing inside a data center server aisle. The engineer wears a white hard hat with the Kennesaw State University logo and a high-visibility vest with a glowing DLB logo on the back. He holds a tablet displaying a QR code while scanning equipment inside a server rack. The background features illuminated servers, cables, and cooling infrastructure in teal and blue tones. Large headline text at the top reads “Multidisciplinary Is Thinking Bigger.” The Kennesaw State Engineering logo appears in the lower corner.
We’ve reviewed thousands of engineering resumes.

Not every conversation happens in a conference room. Some happen between sessions, over a drink, or mid-crowd. That’s where a lot of the good insights surface.
