✍🎉 We just published lessons from taking AWS DevOps Agent from prototype to preview at re:Invent 2025: aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops... The post focuses on durable mechanisms for building agentic AI products, hope this helps others!

Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara is one of the most inspiring management books I read recently 😍. It helped me pin down the perfect term: “being unreasonable” for what I enjoy doing most at work. a.co/d/d0NH6hb
