A piece of career advice I give people I mentor is to go where you are valued. It means it’s important to be in a role where you are respected, recognized and rewarded.
Sometimes despite tenure, it’s better to leave and accelerate your career trajectory versus staying where you’ve been written off.

Saying "coding is dead" is missing the point. Coding isn’t just about producing code, it’s also a way of thinking.
It teaches us structure, systems thinking, abstractions and problem decomposition.
If you don’t learn those skills, AI won’t make you productive, it’ll make you dependent.

Yup. The US Digital Service was formed from Big Tech SREs. Top level SREs really are elite level problem solvers and trouble makers of the highest order.
Many are trans, queer, or at the very least, care about LGBTQIA people, and will end you if you talk disrespectfully about them.

I love how all my AZ radio stations have barely changed their playlists in the last 9 years so I can relive that part of my high school years every time I come back to visit.

Heads up for anyone else who might panic about a whole bunch of AWS API calls triggering in different regions for services you don't use - check to see if it's just Resource Explorer doing its thing before letting your heart rate get too high.

I’m rehabbing my old @steampowered.com hardware beta machine and I’m in awe at every step. Hat tip to the folks at @valvesoftware.com who hand-built C14-C13 extensions to perfectly fit this custom case. There are so many little thoughtful touches in here that were hidden from all but 300 of us.

New: Custom domain names for private API Gateways.
This has long been possible through a hack with an ALB/NLB. Now there is a native solution.
It is also the first few feature for API Gateway in over 3 years 😮
