    I'm really honored by this. And I think it's a great time to talk about how I got here. Some folks may have noticed I disappeared from the tech world for a period. This is about what happened and how I recovered. Going to talk about mental health. 🧵

    Most negative comments will come from somebody with strong opinions on Boston while living in a town I can’t find on a map.

    The City of Boston now has 100 miles of comfortable biking in the city.

    I live across the street from one of the affected hotels and hear the drums when they picket outside it… I don’t feel harassed. Grow up.

    Serverless is not going to solve your org’s existing skills gap. And for many devs it’s actually going INCREASE the amount of infrastructure and operations complexity they’re responsible for. 1/

    My gf is from Toledo and we discussed this article. She hates the focus on people she feels are stuck in the past.

    Hi, AWS Hero here. I created a Parler account to deep dive and the site is in fact worse than I imagined. They appear to be either unable or unwilling to live up to their responsibilities in section 4 of the AWS Customer Agreement for their users use of their service.

    I pretty much don’t care what technologies are on your resume for a Sr role. We’re not building rockets here. We’re passing JSON between systems to create business value. Tell me the value you drove! If you can’t do that, tell me what you’ve accomplished more than what you did.

    Hi folks. I don’t care if you deploy on Friday or not. I don’t care if you do trunk based or feature based development. I do care when you claim people you don’t know and whose work doesn’t affect you should adhere to your opinion because other ways are “wrong”.
