@mikegcoleman @gabehollombe @awscloud Awesome! Last month I got CloudFront working with a couple WordPress sites on Lightsail using the AWS WordPress Plugin. Is there any reason why I’d want to switch that to use this new feature, or is it same-same in the end?

---

@JennaGuillaume Same.

---

@mikegcoleman @gabehollombe @awscloud Thanks – that’s what I was guessing. It’s early days, so I’ll monitor bandwidth I’m using currently and check to see if switching saves me any money. (It’s a personal project, so it’s out of pocket!)

Role-playing in a mock customer meeting…

@keystonelemur @cczona I should have clarified – I’m playing the CIO (and thus wearing the lemur onesie). 😂

@jeffringgenberg @genericrich @jasonfried We absolutely do, often for 30min or more at a time. The expectation is that readers literally mark it up with questions, feedback, etc. It was confronting the first time I did it but it’s so much better than being subjected to a slide deck.

@jrhunt @ianmiell The whole thing was interesting to me, in that I’m about to move internationally for a DevRel role. It addresses the nagging worry in my head – that if the value is in the credibility I’ve built, is that actually transferable from one place to another? (I really hope so.)

I love the idea that someone would log their stamp collection on this thing. “1500 records of up to nine items on one cassette”! #zxspectrum https://t.co/Gv0QsXMRTJ

I’m a little sad that I never had the ZX Spectrum growing up. (Never penetrated the American market.) Instead I was messing about with an Atari 800XL. My parents never got us cool games like these though!

@msharp Interesting! We have to figure out what to do with these. Part of the impetus for cleaning out the office is that we’re… moving out of Sydney for a while. So while you and the ZX might be here, we will probably not be!

---

@chrisgander It added like an HOUR to the process, getting from phone to laptop, doing the edit, and then exporting back to YouTube. So you better like it. 🙂
