I have nothing to add here but a positive ad-hominem: I went to high school with Tim and he's a super nice, super smart guy. When we were in HS I didn't even know he was such a cool nerd. I only discovered this when I was getting deep into Linux (late 90s/early 2000s), and found out he was the author of an important kernel patch that I needed. Go Tim!
- philips 9y agoTim is one of the people in the Kubernetes community that makes it an enjoyable place to work. Building an open source community is hard and building an open source community for a platform that has a ton of orthogonal interests is even harder. But, Tim, along with many of the other leaders, do a solid job of ensuring that the project does its best to listen to all of the various users and stakeholders and then ultimately takes an opinion and heads in a direction that tries to navigate immediate needs without egregious long-term compromise. It is hard work and no one can expect a 100% success rate, but Tim has done a great job and has been pretty close. In any case, thanks for your dedication to the project Tim.
- slewis 9y agoOoo, I want to layer on the thockin love! When I was fresh out of college in 2006 Tim and his team (then the BIOS team at Google) were the friendliest, geniusyiest, most patient group a new grad could hope for. Thanks for the mentorship Tim! -Shawn
- cobookman 9y ago+1. My interactions with Tim have been nothing but a pleasure. He cares about the small and large guy. Go Tim!
