I am very excited to be at Rory Richardson’s keynote to kick off #AWSDevDay Tokyo! She shared that Amazon CodeWhisperer is now one of the fastest growing services in AWS history. I especially like Rory’s analogy that generative AI is the “microwave popcorn” of machine learning, the “killer app” that catches people’s attention and helps the technology reach critical mass.

If you are at #AWSDevDay: I will be on this stage tomorrow morning talking about “finding your place as a developer,” and feeling confident while avoiding burnout and stress. I also have a large bag of stickers, including #AWSdress stickers! ❤️


It was a cold and rainy night in Tokyo, so we took shelter in a bar that served German beer and sausages. ❤️🍻


In the taxi to #AWSDevDay Tokyo! And of course I am in the #AWSdress. 😂👗 Please come up and say hello if you are there! My session will be at 10am this morning.
