Just watched @kristiperreault.bsky.social & @nideveloper.bsky.social talk at re:Invent about Building an educational startup on AWS. One of those talks you want to share with everyone youtu.be/Gqy0_1B3Y9g?... Indeed #listentotheheroes

Our in-depth case study on how we built @teachmeaws.bsky.social is now up, along with our re:invent recording so check it out for some real-world @awscloud.bsky.social !

@kristiperreault.bsky.social and I spoke last week at aws re:Invent about how we built the @teachmeaws.bsky.social platform. Now you can read about it in depth (or watch the embedded video) www.teachmeaws.com/blakes-log/t...

“Why are you here?” “Matty Stratton’s birthday.” “Who’s @matty.wtf?” ROLL THE TAPE! m.youtube.com/watch?v=wsye...

Why is it that I hate travelling to Vegas for re:Invent and yet I always leave super inspired to achieve something immediately afterwards? Hopefully someday we will have teleporters and I can have the inspiration and interactions without the jetlag

It's a good time to re-introduce myself to new followers and give an update! I'm unexpectedly on the job market after abrupt layoffs at AWS and am looking for a new opportunity on an education-focused engineering team. I have 24 years' experience as a software engineer, dev advocate, and team lead

Breakfast with @quinnypig.com @kristiperreault.bsky.social @nideveloper.bsky.social prepping for day 2 of #reinvent!

Is this couple goals? 😁 Had a great time presenting today, if you missed it the recording should be up in a few days! @nideveloper.bsky.social

We’re ready 😎 Our session DEV305 kicks off today at 1pm PST in MGM Grand 120! Come join @nideveloper.bsky.social and I to hear all about our “Heroic” journey building @teachmeaws.bsky.social, there’s a good chance your favorite AWS services will be mentioned…

Hello (Bluesky) World 👋🏻 We’re at AWS re:invent this week, come find @kristiperreault.bsky.social or @nideveloper.bsky.social for a sticker or shirt!

Today’s the day!!! Come to Dev305 between 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM PST at MGM Grand | Level 1 | Grand 120 Hear @kristiperreault.bsky.social and I talk about how we created the underpinning platform for @teachmeaws.bsky.social and brought the cutest beaver in cloud from idea into reality

When you post a letter from Belfast to Dublin (~100miles away, straight road) and it’s 4 days later still in transit… next time I might just take the train down myself and do it same day 😅

Who doesn’t want a cute, educational beaver sticker?

Be one of the first to get our coveted Blake the Beaver stickers at Re:invent this year! They’re in limited supply so be sure to find us or attend Dev305 😉 @nideveloper.bsky.social

I was asked to give my opinion of n8n so I tried diving in and comparing it to AWS Step Functions www.teachmeaws.com/blakes-log/n...

Me trying to check every social network now to see where everyone really is

When um Kristi Perreault and I solve a hedge maze together forgetting our apple watches were tracking location 😂

Not a bad day for a stroll by the beach The keyboard covers the alt box so… Alt: a bright blue sky touching the ocean with the waves lapping a small beach

First impressions of blue sky are positive. Everything has been easy and familiar. Very different to when I tried Mastodon
