If this doesn’t get you hyped for the regular season I don’t know what will, I could watch Steph and 1 threes all day.

The most important aspect of creativity and innovation is not being afraid to fail.

One very important thing that even the smartest people seem to have to learn from experience is taste in problems. There are juicy problems that tend to lead to interesting discoveries, and nasty problems that tend not to.
just speaking from my own experience, and i dont expect this path to work for everyone, but read a lot. find engineers whose work you respect and just follow their work. you dont always have to DM people asking how to start. most of them already put so much out there
Replying to @triplemcoderr
Are languages still barriers to entry? I mean, there is this AI craze. I still think mastery of a language is improtant but is it tho, when you can just describe or work with an AI agent?
read their blogs, go through their project on github, watch their talks. i have learnt a lot that way from people like @Ope__O , @_alternatewolf, @MoVonLagos, and my mentor @lanreadelowo and non of them barely know me personally.

Steph Curry is ready for his 18th season 😮💨
(via @warriors)
I think SRE requires an insane amount of reading. systems, networking, kernels, runtimes, distributed systems, observability. you cant always see high CPU and conclude “add CPU.” sometimes you have to follow the stack all the way down and sometimes the fix is back in the code
highly intrigued by this new look starting 5 around steph with podz, lendeborg, dray, and horford. even if steph only plays the first half, its great to have NBA basketball back
giannis and klay in miami jerseys is going to be a massive problem for the east. the raptors forced 25 turnovers, but without kawhi, they lacked the firepower to keep up. work to do for darko before vancouver...

Such an important point.
If things don’t compute, don’t make a judgement about your « smartness », you just lack primitives.
So, identify the primitives, focus on them and things will make sense.

one takeaway from this talk: high CPU is a symptom, not an answer. performance engineering is about going beyond the metrics and understanding what the system is actually doing underneath. thanks @sysconf for the opportunity to share. 🙏🏾
We’re excited to announce Muutassim Mukhtar (@triplemcoderr), Senior Site Reliability Engineer at MTN (@MTNNG), as a speaker at SysConf 2026!
His talk is titled “Performance Engineering Beyond Dashboards.”
As part of Muutassim’s work at MTN, he has to find, understand and fix reliability and performance bugs in production Kubernetes workloads. And in multiple cases, he’s found metrics and dashboards insufficient. This talk is about how an SRE has used eBPF to profile production workloads, uncovering CPU hotspots, scheduling delays and network bottlenecks.

yeah, im sure it will be available on the @sysconf_ youtube channel in the next couple of days
