Glad to meet you all away from the mess that X became.
If you don’t know me, I help engineering teams find the suitable compute and data architecture for their needs.
I often build serverless solutions on AWS and can be found creating scalable structures in AWS orgs and in cloud automation.

What IDE is everyone using these days?
I switched for one project from Jetbrains to VSCodium, only to find myself fighting it a lot. Started using Zed and that was much better.
Today I opened Jetbrains back up and I saw the light again after 1 month, haha.
Find it hard to believe that this is it...

The algos boosting people for guaranteeing one genre of post from an account, for “personal branding”, but the “person” part gets quieter.

The last decades of social media have pushed people to be specialized, one persona/identity.
In the book Range, they discuss how innovation happens when people cross fields of study.
This makes sense, people are multifaceted and applying paradigms across disciplines helps us think differently!
