Stepping Back

Stepping Back

Hiya folks, just a quick post from me today :)

After over a year of daily(-ish) contributions, I just want to let folks know I'm going to be taking a step back from contributing to Kubernetes. Once this diff is merged, I won't be a reviewer for sig-node anymore. Additionally, with the KEP for Building Kubelet Without Docker complete, my major projects are all wrapped up, and I doubt I'll be picking up new ones.

At the end of the day, contributing to Kubernetes is something I do in my free time, and I just can't keep up contributing at the same daily cadence and still devote time to other non-programming areas of my life in the way I want. I don't want to short-change sig-node by failing to do the daily work to keep up with diffs, proposals, etc. I'll of course continue watching Kubernetes with interest, and I'm tremendously grateful to all the sig-node folks who mentored me.

Since the majority of this blog's content resulted from my Kubernetes’ contributions and experiments, and I'm trying to spend more of my free-time doing non-computer things, my posting frequency here will also slow. I'll still keep this blog up so that folks can view the backlog, and also because I may have thoughts I'd enjoy sharing in the future. But I won't pretend that I'm going to post with any type of regular cadence :)

As always, you can reach me through email. You can find my GPG public key here. Please don't hesitate to reach out if I can ever be of any help, particularly if it relates to mental health and programming or diversity and inclusion in tech/open source.
