I had assumed that coding side projects, as one of my most time intensive hobbies, would definitely be on pause after having a baby. Instead, I've been pleasantly surprised to find that agentic coding tools feel like they were designed for my new limited, scattered free time.

I always leave #AWSre:Invent feeling energized! It’s such a great week getting the product launches and session content that we’ve been hard at work on all year in the hands of customers.
Continuing with the theme of "right tool for the right job," my second re:Invent session this week was on deploying AWS serverless services with Kubernetes APIs! ☸️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmJG...

#AWSreinvent Day 1! 🚀 I got lucky with both of my breakout sessions on Monday, including this one on choosing containers or serverless functions (or both!)
EventBridge and Step Functions + private APIs! 🚀 Particularly excited about this one and what it opens up for building event driven flows between applications, no matter where they are! I also appreciate that it renders my workaround blog post on this topic obsolete! 😄
🚀🚀🚀 Amazon EventBridge and AWS Step Functions now offer native integrations with private APIs, simplifying building event-driven architectures and workflows with HTTPS-based APIs in VPCs and on-premises. #AWS #Serverless #reInvent2024 🧵👇🏻
Calling all Amazon ECS developers that are going to be at reInvent! Let me buy you breakfast! The ECS team is looking to have a sit down and learn about how you develop on ECS. We want to know what is working and what needs improvement. DM me if you are interested and I'll get you an invitation!

Wow, SnapStart is now available for Python and .Net functions. Interesting they didn't do it for Node, I guess it's not about popularity, there must be something about Node that doesn't work well with SnapStart 🤔 aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aw...

🚀🎂🔟Happy 10th Birthday AWS Lambda! One of the most impactful cloud services was announced by @jeff-barr.com and @werner.social today in 2014! The event-driven model became the start of #serverless.
Excited to see the mass move to Bluesky! 🦋 Starter packs are awesome.
Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.
