The giraffe will sadly not be available as an instructor though
Oh wow, I have over 700 followers on here now. Hello everyone and happy new year!!!
Kristi and I are off off off for once, usually weβre just off, sometimes off off π

Thanks for the shoutout in the last newsletter of the year @jeremydaly.com π₯° Blake, @nideveloper.bsky.social and @teachmeaws.bsky.social are thrilled!
This is always the way! You do however get more praise for working long hours to meet a deadline at the end than just working regularly the whole time undramatically
The flip problem is that without fixed dates the developers somehow take the same amount of time if not more to do the same thing. Damned if you do, damned if you donβt
Past Matt did the same thing with a 3.5 hour layover in London Heathrow at 5amβ¦
Mind the gap
This was a fun article to co-author, #listentotheheroes

At the quarterly meeting of Matts we all agreed there has to be at least 2 of us in every meeting everywhere for max confusion but the specific one of us is swappable for any other so all good π
I hear we are easily confused lol
Our in-depth case study on how we built @teachmeaws.bsky.social is now up, along with our re:invent recording so check it out for some real-world @awscloud.bsky.social !

On the plus side, it sounds like the moon will at least have decent public transport π
If they download enough stuff the wifi can heat the place to 70 π

Gotta get yourself a smart thermostat with auto sensing home vs away
All the fun stuff happens outside work hahaβ¦
Why is it that I hate travelling to Vegas for re:Invent and yet I always leave super inspired to achieve something immediately afterwards? Hopefully someday we will have teleporters and I can have the inspiration and interactions without the jetlag
It's a good time to re-introduce myself to new followers and give an update! I'm unexpectedly on the job market after abrupt layoffs at AWS and am looking for a new opportunity on an education-focused engineering team. I have 24 years' experience as a software engineer, dev advocate, and team lead
Breakfast with @quinnypig.com @kristiperreault.bsky.social @nideveloper.bsky.social prepping for day 2 of #reinvent!
Is this couple goals? π
Had a great time presenting today, if you missed it the recording should be up in a few days! @nideveloper.bsky.social
Weβre ready π
