Heavy representation from:
* people I’ve never heard of
* recruiters trying to sell me candidates
* vendors who are convinced I’ll fall in love with their unicorn product
I want it to be accurate. If I have a 1st degree connection and you ask me to introduce you to them, I want to know who you’re talking about / be comfortable pinging them.
Sorry accountant I worked with in 2008. You didn’t make the cut.

Lest people think I've become too far lost in the Talking Head weeds this past #reinvent week, it's now time for me to livetweet my use of a new AWS service that was announced this week.
You probably get my re:Quinnvent newsletter. Here's the system I built that generates it.
Now that CodeGuru supports Python, let's turn it loose on the "build" subservice. This is a @goserverless stack. The subcomponent features 8 Lambdas function fronted by 11 APIs Gateway.
So this #reinvent eve, I want to talk about "The Mug: A thread featuring this glorious bastard."
I've gotten a few questions to the tune of "what's @awscloud Hambone," "what's this mug you keep talking about" and "what the hell is wrong with you?"
That last one is from my parents, so we'll disregard it.
For #reinvent, AWS is "particular about slides" in the same sense as "an exploding sun is slightly warm." They send out a standardized PowerPoint slide deck template that all speakers are to use. It's usually fairly zany. This year's featured a rando line art drawing of a ham.
And we're up with the sun for another #reQuinnvent livetweet thread, this time the #reinvent Partner Keynote.
The music is *GREAT*, which is fortunate because when you're an @awscloud partner you absolutely will dance to their tune.
I should disclaim here that neither I nor the Duckbill Group are @awscloud partners for a variety of excellent reasons and a few bad ones, ranging from "elimination of perceived conflicts of interest in bill negotiation" to "I don't like shakedowns."
In this #requinnvent thread, ask me anything about @awscloud's #reinvent releases and I'll do my best to answer them. Let's see how I do at being an unpaid Cloud Whisperer!
Multiple AWS folks have said that this was widely considered to be impossible even a few short years ago.
This feels like a combination of "a lot of engineering work" and "a breakthrough or two."
