I’m a techy dad (he/him). I do AV conference design for Amazon, very niche job but pretty chill. Svelte fan. I’m dipping my toes in rust & go lately, but nothing serious, like my opinions.
I try to hand easy wins to my teammates & it feels so good when someone wants it and succeeds. I wished more folks were willing, I still have SO much to learn, I’d kill to jump in on a hard project, ask questions etc.

On one hand, could really speed up TSA. On the other, I’m sure some airports would struggle with bag checkin being the default. Its already a nightmare at my local airport

Work has been very supportive, even with the chaos of layoffs.

I've lost almost all the weight I have gained over the last 4 years since becoming a dad, hope I can keep it off this time!

Just going to have to be happy with the power of AI success stories 🤖 maybe AWS PR will allow for extra deets in those eventually! 🤞

Even I would like to know more about Amazon’s cool stuff and I’ve been here for 8+ years! but I started as a non-coder first 4y learning to code then moved into a SysDE role using AWS. Its such a big company. The rust folks tho are def some cool devs & seem more open to share tho still with cation

Lenovo makes great laptops and I think might be better experience than Framework as a linux laptop minus repairability.

But choosing a Chinese owned mainstream laptop company based purely on morals I think would be ironic. It feels like a zero-sum game, but those who are privileged to be choosy can
