    It&apos;s rare that I get to reflect back on my entire tech career and my philosophy towards work and life, but this interview captures it perfectly. One of the few recordings of myself I&apos;ve watched end to end.

    Kelsey, the way you speak and articulate your thoughts is truly unique. It&apos;s been a long time since I&apos;ve seen anyone who can articulate their thoughts and ideas so clearly. I also agree with everything you say. A truly inspiring interview. To everyone involved, thank you very much!

    This fellow is not just wise in tech, he&apos;s wise in life.

  • @willwatson4134 · 9 months ago

    Wow! Blown away by Kelsey&apos;s clarity on these topics. I&apos;m a Cloud Computing/CS student, and this single talk has been so helpful in packaging together so many of the topics that I&apos;ve been grappling with. Can&apos;t wait to jump into DevOps/Infra!

    Have been listening to Kelsy since the early CoreOS days. &nbsp;He&apos;s been the most significant voice of reason in DevOps and Cloud tech the whole time.

    This is the best interview i have heard all year. It speaks to me as someone in the tech field. Thanks for the insights and honesty Mr HIghtower.

    I am so glad Kelsey brought up how many docs people write for LLMs and never wrote for regular humans &lt;3 It&apos;s absolutely insane to see so many people describing to an AI how their system works but they never bothered trying to do that with anyone else on their team. It&apos;s insane!
