**Autumn Nash:** Wow... Horrible and vengeful? I'm so excited... |
**Gareth Greenaway:** Sysadmins, install it on systems to annoy people. If you've never seen this, it is a typo command. So one of the most mistyped commands on a Unix or Linux system is ls. And what the sl command does is it makes you wait while the animated train goes across the screen, mocking you for mistyping ls. |
**Autumn Nash:** I do that all the time, and I'm so excited about this. |
**Gareth Greenaway:** Yeah, it's horrible. It is horrible. |
**Autumn Nash:** Okay. What lessons would you pass down to future generations? |
**Gareth Greenaway:** I would say don't be afraid of breaking things. One of the things that I've noticed a lot of people are afraid of doing is breaking things. Just get in there, and... I mean, obviously back things up, so you don't royally get in a bad place... But don't be afraid of breaking things. Just try things... |
**Autumn Nash:** That's good advice. |
**Break:** \[25:50\] |
**Justin Garrison:** Alright, so who are you, and what technology are you responsible for? |
**Noel Miller:** Hi. So I'm Noel Miller. I am a project manager over at the Universal Blue Project. We do custom-based images on Fedora Atomic. It's a really exciting project, and I am very excited to be here. |
**Justin Garrison:** And what is your favorite open source software? |
**Noel Miller:** Well, I'm a little biased, but I really do like the Universal Blue Project. We do a lot of really great things. I run it day to day, so I use one of our projects called \[unintelligible 00:26:19.14\] which is a gaming distro... Well, not a distro, technically, because we're built on Fedora... But yeah,... |
**Justin Garrison:** And what is your least favorite command? |
**Noel Miller:** Man... So far I haven't been loving using sed. One of the best usages of AI, if you ever use it, is to use it to write your sed commands, because you just ask it and it does it, so... |
**Justin Garrison:** That is actually fascinating. I like that. I use it for SQL queries. Why did you come to Scale? |
**Noel Miller:** I wanted to meet up with the community. All of our contributors to the U Blue Project are kind of spread apart, so we wanted to have an opportunity to have a few of us meet up and have some conversations... So it's been really great to be here, and it's my first time, so... |
**Justin Garrison:** And What lesson would you like to pass down to future generations? |
**Noel Miller:** Just be good to one another. Keep it as simple as that. So... Yeah. |
**Justin Garrison:** Awesome. Thanks for coming. |
**Noel Miller:** Yeah, thanks. |
**Break**: \[27:18\] |
**Justin Garrison:** Alright, so who are you, and what technology are you responsible for? |
**Rit Li:** My name is Rit Li. What technology am I responsible -- |
**Justin Garrison:** Technology, software, infrastructure, anything that may be work-related, home-related, open source-related... Anything that you might be responsible for, that deals with technology. |
**Rit Li:** Okay, I've been doing consulting work for over 10-15 years now... But mostly for other people, for start-ups and whatnot. |
**Justin Garrison:** Oh, cool. So you help them get started with things, and then they run it, and they're responsible. |
**Rit Li:** Right. |
**Justin Garrison:** That's a good place to be, if you're writing and managing software, is not being responsible for it... It's a good move. |
**Rit Li:** Yes. But on top of that though, recently my son - he's four and he out of the blue just said "Daddy cooks", and "Daddy's sitting at his desk." That got me thinking "What is it I do?" So yeah, that led to me doing some soul-searching, and at this moment I am working on my own project, and it's something that... |
**Justin Garrison:** Yeah, that's awesome. What is your favorite open source software? |
**Rit Li:** I would have to say SQLite and Lua. |
**Justin Garrison:** That's a good combination right there. What is your least favorite command? |
**Rit Li:** I don't know. |
**Justin Garrison:** Probably also maybe SQLite and Lua? Sometimes we love and hate the same things? |
**Rit Li:** I can't think of any right now. |
**Justin Garrison:** That's alright. Why did you come to Scale? |
**Rit Li:** It's almost like a tradition now. I live in SoCal, so it's the biggest Linux open source conference, so I have to be here... |
**Justin Garrison:** Also a valid answer for "It's here, and we should come." What would you like to pass down to your future generation, like your son, or some of the younger people here at Scale? |
**Rit Li:** I would say be less absolute about certain things. For my younger self, I was a bit too black and white, too absolute. Now as I have two kids, I would say be more flexible, open-minded, and... It's not always black and white. |
**Justin Garrison:** Awesome. Thank you so much for interviewing. |
**Break**: \[29:34\] |
**Autumn Nash:** Who are you, and what technology are you responsible for? |
**Paul Yu:** My name is Paul Yu. I am a cloud-native developer advocate at Microsoft, and I am responsible -- I don't want to say I'm responsible, but I do a lot of work in the Kubernetes space. |
**Autumn Nash:** Me and Paul are besties now. What's your favorite open source software? |
**Paul Yu:** That's rough. There's a lot of good open source softwares. I would have to say \[unintelligible 00:30:02.18\] only because of the people that actually run the project... Because open source is more about technology, it's all about the people. So... |
**Autumn Nash:** It is though. People here are awesome. What's your least favorite command? |
**Paul Yu:** My least favorite command is probably sed... \[laughter\] Man, I always get messed up with the regex, and all that stuff... |
**Autumn Nash:** Can we just talk about the shade that question brings...? Everyone's like -- you can tell people start having bad flashbacks, and they're like "This one time..." |
**Paul Yu:** Yeah. Regex. |
**Autumn Nash:** When people are good at regex, I'm like "You're an alien." What lesson would you like to pass down to future generations? |
