Just got back from #AWSreInvent and am back in snowy, cold Chicago. Still focusing on how AWS is all about AI infrastructure, and genAI dev tools specifically.

Haven't been to a large mega conference since, well... Before 2020 actually.
Global scope of #AWSreInvent is epic - randomly meeting folks from Brazil, Taiwan, India, Israel, Australia, Japan and beyond. Digging this and haven't realized how much I miss it.

Taking a break from cleaning up after a Chicago snowstorm & attending #AWSreInvent this week with @pluralsight.bsky.social. I write Scale, Pluralsight's weekly cloud computing industry briefing newsletter. If you're around and have a cloudcentric story to talk about in 2026 - let's connect.
