Excellent *financial* analysis of using *commoditized* cloud infrastructure (vanilla servers). It misses: i) the (long-term devastating) cultural cost of recruiting world-class engineers to do undifferentiated heavy lifting; ii) it's unfeasible to recreate noncommodity infra. 1/n
[NewPost] Sure, Cloud is great. But we show it hurts share price of public companies on the order of hundreds of billions
... and they can economically justify almost any level of work (including repatriation) in order to lower costs (w/ @sarahdingwang)

When you talk to a customer about a specific problem, they will naturally “focus” on that problem, at the exclusion of other problems they (or their business overall) is facing.
With this focus comes a disproportionate emphasis on solving THAT specific problem.
Useful framework to tackle conflict at work — distinguish ‘tactical’ from ‘personal’ conflict.
I’m trying to fall in love with conflict.
Below are some reflections on a tearful team meeting.
The lesson: dial up tactical conflict ⬆️, dial down personal conflict ⬇️.

Starting a new side-business in 2020 with the right tools feels like child's play. @AWSAmplify gives me an infinitely scalable backend, data mgmt, and auth for ~free, @vercel and Next.js solves 99% of my frontend problems, charging 💰 using @stripe is bliss.

I still underestimate the compounding power of the rapid execution and iterated learning feedback loop.
A commitment to this, over the course of a career, is the closest thing you can get to guaranteed success.
Just discovered salto.io/ - applying ‘infrastructure as code’ techniques to configuring business apps like Salesforce.
Are other companies trying to build this kind of ‘Terraform for no code’?
Testable and version controlled ‘no code’ would be a game changer!

Wonderful news for us @weareLIS.
We feel so many students are ready for a different model of university learning and would like a new kind of curriculum of the sort we will offer. bbc.co.uk/news/education-547…
Just wrote a summary of topics I covered, best resources I found, projects, and lessons learned from my 100 days of (serverless) cloud challenge.
Hoping some of it will be helpful for other cloud learners! ☁️

This was a really fun conversation about my journey to build @discord sprinkled with lots of lessons from failure (and success) learned along the way.
Thanks for the great questions @patrick_oshag!
Truly one of my favorite founder conversations ever, with @jasoncitron, founder and CEO of @discord
- art + scientific method
- building, hiring, and leading
- social networks
Discord could become one of the best companies in the world. Must listen!

Day 100 🎉
Spent my time today consolidating and starting to write up learnings, notes, and best resources I used 🔜
Thanks so much to the 100 Days of Cloud community for all the encouragement along the way! ☁️

Day 99
Nerding out about single vs. multi-table DynamoDB with GraphQL/AppSync. And discovered that direct lambda resolvers are now a thing (goodbye VTL👋)!
These two were useful resources:

- youtube.com/watch?v=EOQqi6Yu…

Days 97-98
Got the backend basics wired up for my little quiz project's real-time functionality 🎉
A bit fiddly getting set up with Serverless Framework x Amplify/AppSync - and reacquainting myself with Apache VTL for writing resolvers 😱
#100DaysOfServerless #100DaysOfCloud
Days 94-96
🎉 Finished implementing 'scalable webhook' / 'frugal consumer' patterns w SQS. Much more straightforward than I feared!
🛠 Started building a small quiz app as an excuse to get back into AppSync and build real-time functionality
