Hi. A lot of you have reached out to me about the DevTernity conference. Yes, up until last week I was a speaker for this event. While I haven’t met the organiser personally, I’d heard of the event and many speakers I respect in the industry have been involved. Then on Friday I found out that I was the only woman on the agenda, and some of the others advertised may not be real. I’ve been in contact with several other speakers and with the organiser. Needless to say, at this point I’m no longer participating in the event. I don’t know anything more than that, and I’m going to move on as I’ve got a busy week ahead.

And how’s your week going?? 😂

At the AWS Heroes dinner tonight, I personally awarded Shun Yoshie the “Coolest Hero of 2023” award. 🤘

After a shower and a nap (and a goggle at the Sphere), I hit the Strip for several gatherings. First a meetuo with some of the re:Invent Community track speakers, where I had a cocktail the size of my head. Then to the Hard Rock Cafe to meet up with 500+ of our Korean customers and AWS team. And lastly, an impromptu catch up with my German (and Austrian and Italian) friends. ❤️ Great way to start the week! #awsreinvent

The AWS shirt and shoes made their #awsreinvent debut today! I got a chance to catch up with @jeffbarr and swap stickers too. 😂 #personalbranding

Final trip of the year! Am I the last person leaving for #awsreinvent?! 😂 See you all tomorrow…

Conversations with Ron Howard 😂

I managed to finish the Snook’s new socks today! These are a toe-up 2×2 rib, and for the first time I did an afterthought heel to preserve the stripe sequence. I also made a point of syncing up the stripes. Nice, eh? This colourway is “Return of the Bounty Hunter Scum” from @bahyarns. #bobafett #starwars 🧶🧦❤️

Happy Thanksgiving! He made us sous vide turkey breast, crispy turkey skin, mashed potatoes, and green beans. And for dessert, a pumpkin cheesecake pie! 🦃
