In a world where most of us feel busy and burned out, we try to finish what we must, but we have no energy left🫠 With a lack of support and low consistency, many of us end up with unfinished things. In this group, we will gather every Saturday for two hours to finish these things. Just like turtle steps🐢 reaching the end is not about speed. It is about consistency. Here, we will build that together, inshaAllah ✨💪🏻

***How Kubernetes helped global teams face challenges — real‑world case studies*** Join us for an insightful session on **Kubernetes in Action**, where we dive beyond theory and explore how Kubernetes is used in real production environments across global teams.

You’ll gain first-hand insights into what worked, what didn’t, and the lessons learned while operating Kubernetes at scale. **Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and exchange experiences with fellow cloud and Kubernetes enthusiasts!** 🛈 If you already registered from the Linkedin announcement, you don't have to re-register on meetup.com

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
