Replying to @sonic
@sonic @geteero While I can appreciate 2:38AM PDT is a minimal impact time window to rollout a change to prod that only takes 1-2 minutes, literally there is a subset of your user-base still grinding that would have appreciated the heads up. šŸ‘€

And yeah, I @-ed you both because… ironically, I don’t have the bandwidth to do your hw. Just do better y’all.

Congratulations @riken_en on the recent #FugakuNEXT announcement in collab w/ @nvidia! I am so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with #RIKEN via Keiji Yamamoto and @ProfMatsuoka via the #EEHPCWG, especially in the space of #HPCObservability #ODA. ā™„ļø

Conceptually simple doesn’t mean operationally trivial. Especially when "monitoring" is a full-stack, cross-domain, centerwide data effort for users & operators. A big point: you don't need more abstraction, you need more grounding. #HPCobservability

Observability at this scale isn’t ā€œjust software.ā€ It’s infra.. w/ physical interfaces, hardware faults, sensor constraints, and operational context baked in. SW matters, but it's nowhere near the full-stack... this is hardcore complex systems architecture through-and-through.

I've had extensive training in SW engineering, systems architecture, etc. I get that it seems easy until it isn't. Take my word or check out what's published in the field - or consult the leading global consortium on these matters: sites.google.com/lbl.gov/oda…

Friendly colleagues: in 2025 I’d like to challenge you to check in on that coworker who has stepped back and seems withdrawn… if you sense it, it is real. You can dig deeper be supportive while still strictly professional. They need you.

True story of @Delta’s idiocy: delays my original 8:30 flight to 9:50, moves up to 9:20, moves to 8:50… wild. Well, we are about to board and guess what? The flight crew isn’t here… probably because they were operating on the original delay time. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø Anyway, #FlyUnited.

Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did. As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet. It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law. I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all. I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation. I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever. We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be. There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will. I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me. I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.

Thankful for the small escape. It’s important for the employee but also the organization to fight burnout culture. Smol stollen moments can make all the difference. 😁

Know yourself, abide by your values & principles, trust yourself, and proceed ever fiercely into the unknown! I’m done with the era of the loudest voice holding me back being my own. I have the credentials. I *can* and *will* do this. šŸ’œ

Slowly reclaiming the life part of work-life balance… it’s been a wild, nonstop (but also fun) few months at work. Just have to remind myself to get up from the desk once in awhile — taking care of yourself - mind and body - is just as important. ā¤ļø

And hey @HPCwire, for pointers: feel free to reach out to me, @AnitaB_org, @womeninHPC, @SIGHPC, @TheOfficialACM, etc. We've got a running list internally - I'm sure any of these organizations would be more than helpful in forming a true REPRESENTATIVE list in this field...
