Tommy DeCarlo, who became lead singer of Boston after Brad Delp died in 2007, has himself passed away at 60.

KCDC CFP β€” KCDC 2026

Because I ran into @jerdog.dev at #scale23x, I have now submitted two talks to @kcdc.bsky.social. You still have a little over 24 hours if you want to do it, too! www.kcdc.info/cfp

Always feels good to be done with a talk. Thanks to everyone who attended and of course the entire #scale23x team for putting on a great conference year after year.

What job does he plan on getting, because it seems like there are a lot fewer of those to go around these days.

You’d better start believing in supply chains because you’re in one (SCaLEΒ 23x) At SCaLE 23x, I'll debut "You'd better start believing in supply chains because you're in one." This talk started as a silly joke, but it covers a serious and timely topic.
