## About me

Well, hello there.

I'm a post-ironic jerk, musician, producer , beatmaker, former poet, and a DevOps/SR engineer.

### DevOps

Since you've found me here, I guess you might wanna read about me as an engineer, so bet it.

As an engineer I love working with `Kubernetes`, but not with the `yaml` hell. And I don't mind writing a lot of `yaml` files once not to do it regulary later. 

I've never read the **SRE book**, and I still can have my job done. To be honest, I've read a couple of things that I've been advised to read, and I don't understand the obsession with it. To me, it's simply something one with at least a bit of understanding how things are getting done, would come up anyway. But when you don't understand what you're doing, but you know every chapter of the SRE book, I'm certain, that makes you the most dangerous engineer, because you're not only not doing your job, but also teach others. 

Also, I am still trying to convince myself that GitOps is not a bullshit buzzword. Since the only thing that justifies GitOps is it being GitOps. And though I think that the idea is nice, never in my life I've seen a proper implementation that would work better than a good old **Git Flow + CI/CD** setup. 

I have mixed feelings about `helm`, but I love `helmfile`. It's simply the best way to deploy stuff to `Kubernetes` that we have atm.



- I have written several small cli tool, that you might find in my profile pins (they are not perfect, but I'm working on it)
- I'm contributing to [db-operator](https://github.com/db-operator/db-operator) (and if you haven't checked the project yet, you should do it)

Oi!
