    @jaimekristene @mathowie I think Matt’s idea was to go back to blogging, which I’d love. I imagine my circle would get a lot smaller though.

    Really great session from @danbdo on @dynamodb single table modeling. I learned heaps, and he brought in some great best practices from @houlihan_rick and @alexbdebrie. #AWSCommunityDay @AWSCommunityDE https://t.co/GyIL0XubDc


    Ha. @Lockhead warned us all that it was his first in-person talk in 4 years, but it was unnecessary. He did great! He spoke about building a serverless, event-driven platform at FICO. And he’s another AWS Community Builder! 🙌 #AWSCommunityDay @AWSCommunityDE @jasondunn https://t.co/N682RpFMxq


    And how do we unwind after a full day at a tech conference? 15 minutes sweating in a 90C/194F sauna followed by a cold shower and then COLLAPSE. 😅😅 https://t.co/WRbqaJh6Ba

    @Vel12171 @guimathed Facebook and Instagram keep showing me ads for dresses from African designers. This must be a sign that I need to do some shopping!!
