Plot twist: Claude Opus 4.1 actually challenges my ideas instead of just agreeing with everything. Maybe I wasn't ready for this 😂

As the new OSS Developer Advocate for AWS CDK, I was hired to help evolve the way AWS engages with the CDK community. Today, we're proposing to form a CDK Contributor Council as a first step in that evolution. github.com/aws/aws-cdk-...

In 2025 I hope to finally figure out what I want to be when I grow up 😏 Happy new year! 🥂✨

Now that Christmas is over, and while you're relaxing with all those leftovers, it's the perfect time to gather your thoughts and propose that talk you've always dreamed of giving 💭 AWS Community Day Italy Milan - April 2, 2025 CFP open until Feb 1st You know you want to 😏 www.awscommunityday.it

"Capture data changes while restoring an Amazon DynamoDB table". In this post, we present a solution that automates the Point-In-Time recovery restoration process and handles data changes that occur during the restoration. aws.amazon.com/de/blogs/dat...

@quinnypig.com still has the best take here: “Why should I bother to read something you couldn’t be bothered to write?”

Just watched @kristiperreault.bsky.social & @nideveloper.bsky.social talk at re:Invent about Building an educational startup on AWS. One of those talks you want to share with everyone youtu.be/Gqy0_1B3Y9g?... Indeed #listentotheheroes

In his keynote @werner.social said „Now go build“ and as we take Bias for Action serious, we built listen-to-the-heroes.com. Thanks @hoegertn.de @pgarbe.bsky.social @lockhead.bsky.social @osterjour.bsky.social @abjoerne.bsky.social @monica.aws-he.ro for making this possible! #ListenToTheHeroes

Thank you @werner.social for the great shout out to the AWS Heroes ❤️ This is the smartest, friendliest, and simply *best* group of people I've ever been part of, and I am forever grateful for AWS' sponsorship 🙏

Post you from a different era My long hair era + my motorcycle era. Ah this is embarassing 😅

Up at 4:30 AM, out the door at 5:30, caught a train at 6:15 to go raise awareness about the power of the AWS Community. It's been a while since I had such an early start. Still dark outside! 😅 Last commitment before heading to reInvent!

Introducing the last cohort of #AWS Heroes this year – November 2024 aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in...

Congratulations Vadym, Marcin, and the rest! Welcome to the AWS Heroes program ❤️

Building what you need will always be better than adapting general purpose options Sometimes you can’t know what you need until you’ve tried building on top of a something general purpose www.gitpod.io/blog/we-are-...

10 Years of Serverless with AWS Lambda and Amazon ECS 🎉💥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=oubk...

10 years of Amazon ECS. It kicked off a lot of innovation in container management. One of the highlights was the introduction of Fargate, so there was no need any more for managing the underlying infrastructure. aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ce...

Ok figuring this out real time. Making an AWS Hero starter pack! Soon I'll figure out how to add more ppl 😅 go.bsky.app/EZ7AYrd

Glad to see Bluesky's revamping in the form of meaningful conversations - maybe it's finally time to leave some platforms behind and get a new home! 🤞

Just as I was gearing up to dive into Bluesky, it's already considered old news. Now the talk of the town is Threads. I can hardly keep up with this relentless pace #TechLife

I've had to do a lot of slides lately, which is something I'm not used to - in the end, I'm a builder. But I managed to handle everything, and as a reward I'm now programming physical buttons on electronic boards, IoT printers with Raspberry... and THAT is a lot of fun #coding

“You’ve migrated to serverless, right? Good, now migrate back because it’s horrifyingly expensive.” —Amazon

I need to come up with some talk ideas for next autumn... #DevSecOps and #DevExperience as topics 🙃

Well, hello 🌸
