I am taking a slightly different route this month and working on my Half Fast DevOps writing project. Borne from 25+ years in the trenches of software development, IT, DevOps, and any number of popularized names from the past two plus decades, it is part therapy, part satire, but mainly an attempt to make my tech-writing less soul-crushing.

Most of the documentation I read seems to have been created by a sleep-deprived robot in a stand-up or by a caffeinated squirrel with memory issues. So, I am searching for a voice to bring something different to talking about broken pipelines, observability bills expanding faster than my waistline, and heroic config file linting for the impatient.

I aim to make writing (and reading) my documentation tolerable (and perhaps even FUN!). I hope to make the next person who has to read my written word laugh and absolutely confirm my clear lack of sanity.
