And @jrhunt takes the stage. Super nice person, incredibly gifted technologist, and very personable blog post author. A thread! I've been wanting to livetweet him for a long time. The time is meow! #AWSSummit.
"Follow me on Twitter if you want crappy takes. Python is my favorite language. The one thing I refuse to use is Javascript." I want to die on this hill too! #AWSSummit
"I surveyed the audience and it seems you want demos rather than slides. So! Breakneck slide time, then demos. #AWSSummit
"Here's a slide with our eye chart of customers. We love all of our customers equally. Here are two I love more." #AWSSummit

I am so here for this brand of speaking.
I suspect at least two of those don't really exist. #AWSSummit
"People were asking for a faster horse, but we instead decided to give them--" AWS Glue.

"I work with thousands of customers a year, and I learn something new in each engagement." Oh my stars yes. #AWSSummit
"I'll dive deep into some of this later on" and we're off to trying to sneakily quote all fourteen leadership principles into a single talk! #AWSSummit
Giving real-world stories about Lex and AI services. I like this a lot better than giant math problems done in Powerpoint. #AWSSummit
"This customer is Some Pissed" says Amazon Connect. #AWSSummit
GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, BOB!
"I built this demo on the plane ride here because we were delayed and I was bored."

When I get bored I begin aggressively shitposting on Twitter. #AWSSummit
I want to hear it pronounce AMI. #AWSSummit
"If you do use this service, one request. There are a number of different voices across different languages. Never, ever use this one voice. Because of the movie It." #AWSSummit
The voice is super creepy, and is called Justin. #AWSSummit

"WAS APPROACHED BY THE BRAND TEAM"

Spoiler: if your employer asks you to get their logo tattooed on yourself, you fuckin' say no and quit on the spot! Dear god!
Meanwhile IBM is frantically trying to unwind the purchase on the news that RedHat employs people who have tattoos.
I don't practice what I preach. I once gave @akelman a custom branding iron labeled "AWS" to help with his corporate branding initiatives.

And now an @awscloud panel on diversity and inclusion in tech. It's not full of white dudes! This is like watching a unicorn set a DeepRacer track record! #AWSSummit
Observation: every person on this panel spends a few solid minutes establishing their credentials.

They shouldn't have to, and that's the world in which we live.
#AWSSummit
The panel moderator stops the conversation for 20 seconds to let people in the back find seats. Inclusion in action! #AWSSummit

It's been 3 years since my first blog. I remember how terrified I was to hit "publish" on my first #blog post. Unleashing my words into the worldwide web was a scary thought. What if people hated my writing? Or worse, what if the article had mistakes? (1/5) #writingtips #SciComm
Importantly, this was supposed to be my first step towards transitioning into a career in #sciencewriting- a field that was a complete black box to my family and friends. Needless to say, everyone, including myself, was skeptical. (2/5)
Anyways, I tried, and learned 2 things over the years. 1) My writing didn't (positively or negatively) break the internet. At it's best and worst, readers moved on with their lives. (3/5)

This is a #Thread about one of the many trolls who is targeting #Native and #Indigenous @Twitter accounts.

The account #@Blondi65003273 is interacting with #NativeAmericans by #JustAskingQuestions

Nothing obviously provocative.

#NativeTwitter
One of Blondi’s followers is another account that claims to be #Native #Ojibwe
However, one of her first posts demonstrate her to be not your average concerned Wisconsin #Native from the North Woods. She posts a picture of a dismembered body that is supposed to convince voters that we need a stronger immigration policy to deter crime.

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

Men Are Scum - Story #Thread
Battery full! I unplugged my phone then sat on the edge of the bed as I scrolled through notifications from different social media platforms, some needed to be replied immediately but no, I just wasn't in the mood to reply them yet. I was still going through the notifications
then saw a tweet from one of my feminist idols, the tweet read thus:

"I'm about to do a thread, another experience...*sighs* men are just scum"
I wasted no time diving into her twitter timeline, I followed the thread with rapt attention and retweeted, it was indeed a

How To Judge A Book (or Course or Training) You Pay For

#Thread.

In 2009, a friend of mine made =N=1.4 million selling a 5 page ebook he had written.

It showed how one could get a laptop for =N=15,000 . Laptops sold for =N=70/80,000 back then so it was a draw and it was real.
He ran an ad, explaining the specs of said laptop and how you could buy his ebook and learn the strategy (a form of MLM).

Anyways, I was speaking at an event last year and shared the story. A member of the audience who bought that met me and said he didnt use the info because...
the ebook was just 5 pages. In his words, "why would he charge so much for 5 pages"? (it sold for =N=3,000).

It made me laugh because as I said to him, "Who cares how pages it is as long as it achieves for you the real reason why you bought it" it was clear to me this guy...
