Anyone can write complex code, but it takes decades of working on your craft to reach a point where you start writing simple code. Simple code looks effortless, almost obvious. Simple code reads like a novel. Writing simple code is hard. Very hard.

There's still a lot of confusion about what Kubernetes actually is. Let's debunk down some of it 👇 ✅ Kubernetes is NOT an Operating System. An OS consists of a kernel, shell, and other properties that make it possible to run binaries/code on top of. Kubernetes is a code base. It runs on top of an OS much like application binaries do. ✅ Kubernetes is NOT a programming language. Kubernetes is not a "language" that you write. Yes, it uses YAML to create Manifests, but it's not a language itself. In fact, it's written in a programming language (Go). ✅ Kubernetes does NOT run applications. Kubernetes orchestrates. It does not run. That's why you need a Container Runtime Interface (CRI) to run containers. Without a CRI, containers can not run. Same thing as managing/running VMs on Kubernetes. It cannot run VMs without the proper implementation (for example, KubeVirt). Kubernetes does one thing - it schedules. It's a manager that says "go run this", but it technically does not "run it" itself. If that were the case, we wouldn't need Interfaces to run on top of it. #kubernetes #devops #platformengineering

Wasn't sure I'd get a new beta out before Twitter burns down, but I'm happy to announce that Pythonista is alive, 3.10 support on the way, along with pandas, real Shortcuts integration, and more. The update will be free for existing users when it's out on the App Store.

Today I shared with my team that after 32 fantastic years (!) I'll be retiring from @Microsoft! What's next? 1) I'm staying on until summer to help with the transition (SO MUCH GOODNESS COMING), then 2) focus on the two kids still at home & the 1 who just started college. :)

Happy Pi day! In 1980, Intel introduced the 8087 math coprocessor chip, speeding up floating-point math on 8086/8088 systems such as the IBM PC. Under the microscope, you can actually see the value of π in the ROM inside the chip: binary 11.001001... righto.com/2020/05/extractin…
Die photo of the 8087 with functional blocks labeled: Microcode engine, Microcode ROM, Control and interface, Constant ROM, Fraction processing, Exponent processing

I decided that retirement was boring and have joined the Developer Division at Microsoft. To do what? Too many options to say! But it’ll make using Python better for sure (and not just on Windows :-). There’s lots of open source here. Watch this space.

The "bootstrap load" was a capacitor circuit that helped make the Intel 4004 and 8008 processors possible. This mini charge pump boosted the voltage on transistor gates, increasing the output. The 8008 processor led to modern x86 processors. righto.com/2020/10/how-boots…
Die photo of the 8008 processor. The rectangular die has metal traces with yellowish circuitry underneath. 18 pads around the outside have thin bond wires connected.

Comparison of the Texas Instruments TMX 1795, the Intel 4004, and the Intel 8008 dies. The Intel 4004 and 8008 are roughly the same size, while the TMX 1795 is larger than both combined.
