There's a special place for those folks that create a #Makefile only parse-able by #GNUMake.

GNU Make is my favorite make but there's also a reason that GNUmakefile exists.

Either make it portable or use the special name for just this case.

"My productivity as a release engineer can be best measured by how much stuff I've deleted"

Seeing nearly 1.5TB in the Artifactory Trash Can is deeply, oddly, satisfying.

#ReleaseEngineering #DevOps

Some very shaggy yaks have just arrived mumbling something about Ruby 3.1 and Solaris 11.

Wish me luck.

A quick #introduction post:

I'm a well-tenured (old) #softwareengineer specializing in #releaseengineering and #devops.

Had been putting around a few different instances, and the #hachyderm local feed has been the most relevant to me, so here I stay. 😎

Talking with @gdinwiddie about how we're still figuring out how to find folks who are interested in #VirginiaSatir and #systemsthinking on this platform reminded my best trick ever for finding other systems thinkers was to get myself on a #releaseengineering team.

I met lots of people that way at #pivotal who were into systems but didn't know yet that there was a word for it. The release teams attracted people who intuitively grasped that you couldn't optimize systems by optimizing parts.
