Developer relations isn’t easy. Front end dev isn’t easy. Back end dev isn’t easy. Stop assuming certain careers in tech are “easy” because they’re different from your career. All careers in tech have their respective difficulties.
"Our AWS bill is through the roof, we need to do something about it!" Answering this question is my entire consulting business; I have some thoughts on the cultural bits.
You are free to disagree. 😉 But you're mostly wrong. 🚲Do not reinvent the wheel, 🚲Do not make a new wheel, 🚲Do not expend any more cycles on wheels than you must, unless you are the fucking wheel vendor! Spend as much as possible on your *own* core business value.
Watch the first two episodes of #ValleyoftheBoom now and ❤️ this Tweet to receive a reminder from @NatGeoChannel for new episodes.
Product Advice != Technical Advice - PMs should let their imaginations run wild. Think Big. Work backwards to invent and simplify until you get something functioning and real... Technical consultants should support your vision and temper it with reality.
Last week I spoke about how we build ultra-reliable AWS services. It's my favourite talk that I've given. Everyone I've asked has told me that they learned something new and interesting 😃 Here I'm going to tweet some highlights to tempt you to watch ... youtube.com/watch?v=O8xLxN…

AWS re:Invent 2018: Close Loops & Opening Minds: How to Take Control...
Note: I say "employees." Not "engineers." If you look at the AWS releases today and just see code, you're missing an awful lot. #reInvent
I want to pause here for a second during the #reInvent Blockchain Bonus Round and shout out to all of the @awscloud employees who've spent literally years building the things that are being casually announced this morning. I see you. Your work matters.
Amazon Quantum Ledger Database QLDB - fully managed ledger database with a central trusted authority. #reInvent
ICYMI - Not only did Amplify Console ship at #reInvent last night, but also released Multi Environment and Team support for Amplify CLI: aws-amplify.github.io/docs/cli/multi… This is one of the most common Amplify asks from customers. Please check it out and give us feedback! ✌️
New Chalk Talk format at #reinvent is definitely my new favorite session format. Thanks Mike, Ken and Jack for getting me excited to tackle MAM again! MAE301
Our goal is to make #reInvent a welcome space for everyone! Personal gender pronoun pins will be provided to help make sure everyone is addressed correctly.amzn.to/2A96g0p
A key product manager duty: detect, articulate, and disassemble any incorrect assumptions developers make about their users, and vice versa.
Many tech jobs ask for “good communication” skills. We don’t need more presos or emails. Good communication in tech means: - respectfully conveying true feelings - addressing difficult convos w/ empathy - building consensus w/o back channels - inspiring/motivating others
