Devops Journey

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 21:47:14 -0400

I spent 20 years in semiconductor engineering.

Good salary. Somewhat stable career, lol. Respected field. Learned a lot. For a long time, that was enough. At some point it stopped being enough — probably further back than I care to admit, but here I am.

It wasn’t a dramatic moment or a single bad day. Just a slow realization that I had spent a long time being good at something I really didn’t want to keep doing.

Well, that was interesting! Had a few tab completions fail and made me inquisitive. Turns out - mismatch between control plane and worker nodes AND kubectl client!

Gave the cluster the once over and found BREW overriding kubectl. What the heck is brew doing on the control plane? Must have been ssh into the node when I was working on devpod as I found mise had installed all my packages from config.toml there. The brew is on me though! 🤯 Smh…

Careus is born! 😀

Caerus, was the Greek god of opportunity, luck, and favorable moments. He was depicted as a young, winged, and fleeting youth, with a lock of hair on his forehead that could be seized, but a bald head in the back, symbolizing that once an opportunity passes, it cannot be regained.

That’s the reason I named my homelab “Careus”. ☸️
