Amazon should be picking up the tab on the AWS costs. Great PR move, great for customer case studies etc and slash what is probably 2nd or 3rd biggest cost driver.

AWS often releases features very early, to satisfy the first tranches of early adopters before rounding out the feature with feedback from these passionate users.

AWS EKS is a good example for anyone who has had a play already.

Learning from others is invaluable.

Listen to the perspectives of those around you, but don't regurgitate what they say or follow what they say blindly. Ask them questions, challenge conventional wisdoms and ask "Why".

Experience is a form of bias and must always be taken with a clear head and a grain of salt.

My grandfather would always say: Advice is free, until you take it.

Good luck!

Interesting take on the future.

I agree about the current state of developer sentiment. I think anyone who looks at a company like Microsoft will see that developer sentiment isn't static. Might take years for things to change but I commend them for taking the right first steps towards rectifying the situation.

I totally agree with you there. It is much more useful than LinkedIn for me in most cases.

LinkedIn still has a key benefit of not being overly noisy and not having bots/spam accounts.

Twitter though makes it far easier to connect with the right sorts of people.

If Twitter can clean up the signal/noise ratio and help with killing off spam accounts and bots, I think its potential can only grow
