I'm Nicole van der Hoeven. Usually I'm talking about performance testing and site reliability engineering in my job as a Developer Advocate at k6 and Grafana Labs, but on this channel I talk about the tools I use to min/max my life. And speaking of min/maxing, my guest today happens to play a big part in helping me min/max my weekends as well-- while I'm playing TTRPGs, that is.
