Sometimes you have to write a little bit of Ruby to build a new resource type.
And I'm contributing.
And also I get introduced to open source.
Like, hey, there's something there that doesn't work.
I want to contribute it upstream.
So I'm doing all this behind the scenes, getting ready for act two.
And I remember my manager went to a conference and he came back and was like, hey, Kelsey, I finally know what you're doing.
I was like, what's that?
He was like, you're doing DevOps.
And part of me was like upset.
How do you get to name what I'm doing?
And so, you know, everyone's talking about DevOps.
And he's like, I met a guy named James Turnbull.
And James is an Australian dude.
He worked at Puppet Labs.
And he wrote the first puppet book that I bought and read.
And so I'm like, James Turnbull, that name sounds familiar.
Oh, I'm looking at my desk.
James Turnball and Jeff McCune.
So he's one of the co-authors of this book.
