I've long admired @awscloud but never thought I'd work for them. Until today, when I started. My Day 1. 😇 I feel really fortunate to work here and with such good people. I'm also grateful for so many of you who have shaped my perspectives and will continue to do so.

My wife and I have been watching #crashlandingonyou after several friends and family recommended it. I *love* that show. Never been a kdrama person but this is just lovely stuff.

For the past few years, I've been fortunate to work at AWS. Today, however, is my last day there. Very bittersweet for me. Amazon is a demanding, great place, filled with talented, driven people. I will deeply miss both the company and its people.

Tim, I run the open source strategy and marketing team at AWS. I hadn't been aware of this but am looking into it. (Regardless of anything we may have done, thank you for what you clearly have done with your project)

Yes, it really is different. I've WFH for 15+ years and these past 2 months have been more wearing than all 15 years combined. I tend to be much more productive WFH but it's been harder during the lockdown

It's said you can't go back home again. Well, Monday I rejoined @MongoDB after 7 years away & it's 💯. The company has only gotten better in my absence (bc of my absence? 🤔😬), and is filled with ppl I love, building the data platform I love. Feels 🥰 to be home

At AWS we use @rustlang to build services for reasons you'd expect (safety, performance, etc). And bc we (& therefore our customers) depend on Rust, we're committed to ensuring its success by participating in the Rust community, which includes building a deep bench of Rust talent

Since we're building up a team to work on Rust I now get to do more Rust-based phone screens and coding interviews. It's noticeable that rust developers code is very consistent and idiomatic. Much more so than either C, C++, or Java. More like Python or Go in that way.

To my friends and colleagues with whom I rescheduled this morning, I'm sorry for any inconvenience. My daughter said she wanted to ski. And so we did. 🥰

Maybe you: "Kubernetes will give me app portability between clouds!" Gartner: "This likelihood is actually very low. Once deployed in a provider, apps tend to stay there" (There are great reasons to use K8s. Portability probably isn't one of them) blogs.gartner.com/marco-meinardi…

I'm grateful for your help in this. AWS uses a lot of open source, & we contribute a lot. But open source is ultimately abt community & I personally feel we could've done better here. I'll check w/ you on how we can better support the great work you're doing w/ headless-recorder
