Taking April off

Taking a short break from writing to recharge my batteries

Apr 11, 2024

Dear subscribers,

I am writing to inform you that I will be taking a break from writing until the end of the month in order to recharge mentally.

Thank you for your understanding.

I have not been very active in the past few weeks as I have been busy with the technical review of a book being written by my colleagues, Huage Chen and Yazid Akadiri.

The book should be available in a couple of months at Elastic Stack 8.x Cookbook.

It took me a considerable amount of time to do this technical review, so I am quite exhausted.

You might ask. What is involved in a technical review?

I didn’t know either before starting this one.

It required me to read the entire book, verify the accuracy of the content, and ensure that all of the code was functioning properly.

As this particular book is a cookbook, it involved practical applications and required me to run the Elastic stack on the cloud while learning about almost all of the services within the stack.

The Ramen Bowl - If you are a foody like me, you can’t miss this food-related substack from my friend The Ramen Bowl . He doesn’t talk about Ramen only. He has been branching off to sweets and ingredients from Asian cuisine.
