Was about to suggest adding Kelsey Hightower to the title, as he's someone in the community many may already know of...then I look at the username! :D Always enjoy his videos whenever I come across them, even if I'm not working on anything remotely related to the content. Waiting for whatever random tech surprise he throws in sometimes.

Probably an imitator or clone. (:laughing:)

    exactly what a clone would say!

      My thoughts exactly.

    Hi Kelsey! I love your origin story. You've come a long way. Do you mind if I introduce you to a friend of mine? He's not publicly famous but he hustles pretty hard and he's a great friend... I think you two would get along really well. (I'll get in contact with you on twitter)

      Make it happen.

        Apparently you've already had coffee with Mark T. Small world innit?

    Your Udacity course https://youtu.be/zZ2NgJ2-A4c https://youtu.be/zZ2NgJ2-A4c was my first taste of k8s and really got me excited about it. I eventually decided to focus and specialize around it and couldn't be happier. Thank you!

Posting a puff piece about yourself on a tech news site feels... something though.

  I got a bit fed up with the amount of 'I love Kelsey' tweets he shared today too. Felt a bit much.

    I'm very glad he's getting the attention and hope he keeps getting it. He's an inspiring fellow, and I'm happy that he will be the one who will inspire some folks out there to enter tech.

      Oh I'm not arguing that he's had an outsized impact on a lot of people, it just felt like he was clapping himself on the back for the entire day.

        Humans are weird. We like seeing people succeed against hardship and enjoy reading success stories. But the enjoyment of their success can’t be to excess, otherwise people will see them as unscrupulous or arrogant. Not a slight against you or OP just interesting that we have our own individual thresholds of what kind of self congratulating is acceptable until it turns sour

    Many of those Tweets reminded me how much I've grown as a person. Those Tweets reminded me that I made the right choice treating everyone with respect and in some cases helped them in their own careers. It was my way of saying thank you and hoping those stories would inspire others and bring a little joy to their day.
