Yet another (Web1.0+) blog. Why should someone make a blog in 2022, after the social networks era reached (and is likely going to lose) its steady state? After participating in KubeCon22 in Valencia, Spain, I thought of implementing it. It’s been my first experience as a Red Hatter to get in touch with hatters in person. I just joined Red Hat for one year, remotely, from a small town in southern Italy, in the time of COVID-19. Since then, I have known many fantastic people remotely and for reasons related to my work: contributing to the enablement of OpenShift deployments on ARM64 servers. We are good at building teams and relationships remotely. However, you don’t share coffee, a beer, or a dinner with a colleague if you work in a remote setting like ours and in a team displaced around different timezones of the Earth. Not sharing a coffee also means that you only have a little chance to get in discussions beyond the work, even related to it but more to disguise and enjoy the possibility of knowing more through relaxed knowledge sharing.

Therefore, this blog is meant as my own place, far from the confusional and annihilated world of social Networks, a web 1.0+ blog, where I expect to share some of my thoughts, personal, technical, generalized, whatever. I hope to provide interesting ideas sometimes and for someone.

The plus sign I’m using in web1.0+ is due to the nature of this blog’s implementation and deployment model: powered by Hugo and GitHub pages, via GitOps, something that web1.0 wouldn’t consider in the past. I’d come at some details about this in another post.

I’m aleskandro, an Open Source software engineer and maintainer. Red Hatter, working on the multi-arch efforts for OpenShift, PhD with a background in DevOps and AIOps engineering. I’m a flutist, passionate about folk music (Irish in particular), hiking, climbing, and nature. I don’t know how frequently I’ll write here, but here we go.
