For my unlimited PTO folks, how often do you actually take time off?

I’ve noticed a lot of us are weirdly bad at using time off when there’s no number attached to it😅

T-shirt wisdom: Why not now?

Who's going to the AWS Summit in NYC next week???

AI isn’t coming for your job

It is coming for the 40% that’s repetitive and overdue for automation

What’s left is the part that’s deeply human like decision-making, storytelling and collaboration

The future of work isn't less human; it’s more strategic, creative, and connected

Here's why your cloud is leaking money:

Overprovisioned "just in case" resources
Legacy code running 24/7
Complexity that hides costs

Fix it
1️⃣ Run a "right-sizing sprint" (use AWS Cost Explorer/Kubecost)
2️⃣ Automate non-prod shutdowns (nights/weekends)
3️⃣ Adopt FinOps

Presentations rarely go exactly as planned.

The key is authenticity & adaptability.

💡 Focus on your message
💡 Connect with your audience
💡 Embrace the unexpected

A great presentation isn’t about flawless delivery.

I had already made peace with not speaking at #KubeCon EU 2025, but then I received the news that two of my talks were accepted for the colocated events!

🎤 Streamline Your App Development With Cloud Native Tools

🎤 Kubernetes Resiliency at the Edge

How often do you go back to your notes, saved tabs, or bookmarked posts?

I’m trying to build a habit of looking through things before saving them and setting aside a day each week to review what I’ve saved.

It’s helping me be more intentional and less overwhelmed.

Is your team applying the HBAB (Hit By A Bus) principle at work?🚍

Imagine if a key engineer got hit by a bus on their way to work today. Would your team be able to:

✔️ Jump into their code
✔️ Understand how it works
✔️ Continue working on it without them?

Think about it.

Bus-ready or roadkill?

Do you know how many AWS container services there are?

Honestly, I wouldn’t even try to answer. It’s always changing and even I get confused!

Lucky for you my talk w/ @cobus.dev at #reInvent is out in which we dive into all AWS container services!

Go watch it 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBfM...

If you don’t ask, the answer is already no.

Worst case? Still no.

Best case? Something awesome happens.

Alright, the fun has already started, and AWS #reInvent hasn’t even officially begun!

Can we even call this work?

If you’re not enjoying yourself this week, you’re doing it wrong. Come find me, let’s fix that!!

P.S. If you’re reading this, drop a comment: Kubernetes or Serverless?

Or EC2? 😂

About to take off! ✈️

This week at AWS #reInvent in Las Vegas is going to be a busy one! I’ve got a packed schedule, but I’m really looking forward to it ☺️☺️

Are you heading there too?

If you see me, come say hi! I’d love to meet you!

Good luck! 🤞😝

KubeCon is getting harder and harder to get into.

Is it because the ideas are getting better or the competition is growing stronger?

What a luxury to be taking a day trip from NY to Toronto!

Although I’ll only see the airport, Uber and venue where I’m going to present at 😬✈️
