I've found @DEVOPS_BORAT to be funny too. Kept seeing his tweets for over a year or two; humorous ones about devops, from an imaginary Armenian devops guy with broken English. Seems to have stopped tweeting a while ago.

When it comes to devops on twitter I've found @fart's stuff to be pretty great. Particularly this: https://medium.com/weird/why-i-am-the-most-important-devops-thought-leader-46a191ac0f42 https://medium.com/weird/why-i-am-the-most-important-devops-... - a little sample below: "This data is encapsulated in what are called “Data Beans” which are stored on the hard drive as zeroes (Optimal bean or “prime bean”) and ones (Flatbean or “bad bean”). These Data Beans are stored magnetically and retrieved as necessary. If a user requests too much data at one time they can suffer from data poisoning. The computer’s RAM also stores Data Beans in the cloud. No one knows how this is done or why "

  Also, @fart (aka Jon Hendren) pulled off one of the best examples of trolling the media I've ever seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WqCj_3U0Lc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WqCj_3U0Lc

    Oh when you posted a YouTube link I thought it was the Star Wars script "leak" - but yes you're right that Edward Snowden video is absolutely excellent!

      That may have been @arr - David Thorpe (edit: you were right actually)

        Both of them are/were contributors to Something Awful's frontpage media David's also really talented at trolling (though in this instance, the show was in on the joke): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdUHDDj7fhk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdUHDDj7fhk

Borat is supposed to be from Kazakhstan, not Armenia. Did @DEVOPS_BORAT break canon?
- datawrangler 11y ago
  @DEVOPS_BORAT has Kazakhstan[1] listed as the location in their profile, so no. :) [1] https://twitter.com/devops_borat https://twitter.com/devops_borat

  Ah, thanks for the catch. I sometimes mix up or forget the exact names or locations of those Central Asian countries, also the ones in the Caucasus and the Balkans. Have to keep googling and looking at maps to get it right. Will get better over time, am still somewhat new to them ...
