@jdeamattson Every deploy has a little something to make it special :)@williamsjoe And a mullet. Business in the UI, party on the servers.Deploy took a little longer than expected but team handled it like the pros they are. New perm manager is live in Hosted Chef. #opschefOH I SEE YOU’RE TYPING. I WILL RANDOMLY MUTE YOU BECAUSE I HATE ALL HUMANITY. LOVE, GOOGLE HANGOUTS.The next 2 hours are either going to be really awesome or a whole lot of work. #crossedfingers

Retweeted by Kevin SmithI can't state this enough: Programmers don't burn out on hard work, they burn out on change-with-the-wind directives and not 'shipping'.

Sorry folks! RT @ChefConf kevsmith and videos of most break out rooms will be recorded!@anthonygoddard I don’t believe so, no.FYI - Live stream is only for keynote talks. Stream ended at 11:50 AM PDT today. Will resume tomorrow. #chefconf1st rule of live demos: The network is always crap. 2nd rule of live demos: All demos must be self-contained.Nice to see the ascendance of distributed systems in yet another area of popular computing #chefconfOH “You can’t spell RESTFULL without STFU”
Retweeted by Kevin SmithLet’s talk orchestration @ 7:00 in Boardroom C tonight #ChefConf http://t.co/dKmLeogUrF@otterley It doesn’t paint a complete picture, sure. I disagree the statement is meaningless, tho. Is a good 1st order estimate of perf, imo@rberger @zts Me!How about that 787? amirite? #chefconfKey numbers to remember about the new Chef server: 17k nodes w/15m convergence, 80% CPU idle. #chefconfThe single greatest moment I've had as an operations professional was the moment where erchef worked, out of the box, perfectly at facebook.
Retweeted by Kevin SmithThat's 80% idle, for 17k nodes on first pass. Good times. #chefconf, #facebook
Retweeted by Kevin SmithFB: “You can run Facebook sized clusters on OSS Chef Server” #ChefConf@lnxchk Brightly. With the intensity of a thousand suns :)@sfalcon @skeptomai Wait until he puts the turkey in the oven :-)At #ChefConf and have questions about push jobs? Find me and I’ll do my best to get you answers.Push jobs. Hells yeah. #ChefConfIf you're at #chefconf today, come see @mdelder and I talk about the ways we use #opschef for our #ibmcloud and #devops software! 1:50 PM
Retweeted by Kevin SmithIncredibly proud to see FB and Cycle Computing projects in opening keynote. Lots of hard work by my excellent colleagues. #ChefConf@lnxchk How do other hybrid fields, like computational biology, handle degrees? #ChefConf@lnxchk Me too :)I predict a run on out-of-print editions of McConnell’s “After The Gold Rush” #ChefConfProud to announce the launch of PlatypusWear line of t-shirts #ChefConfLooking forward to @skeptomai’s keynote featuring a bunch of awesome work by my co-workers.the #ChefConf live stream is looking good! :D http://t.co/TAzlltvbkE If you can't be with us, you can watch from where you are.

Again I ask - what good is it to arrive early if the plane has no assigned gate?Wheels down SFO. Inbound to #ChefConf@Vaguery After spending 2.5 days at a HPC conference I find your idea quite intriguing.@mccun934 If you want to drop by the airport you can wave to me thru the TSA checkpoint :)G’bye PDX you were totally awesome. I need to spend more time here soon! Next up: SFO. Whee!Having a “this is why we can’t have nice things” moment.@pavlobaron Private Smith reporting for duty sir!Current status: http://t.co/cWZ7m8hBvU

@darachennis Dante is smiling :)@darachennis HPC conference. Needless to say the last speaker gets a strong “meh”.@base10 It’s all just bytes, yo.Speaker: “I’m sorry I’m not familiar with Linda tuple spaces.” #ahmahgerdYes, let’s put redis, memcached, and RAMCloud in the same category. #ahmahgerd
