All roads lead to AWS
wild how we just rolled up everything into AWS after a couple of years
1 - Make women feel comfortable and seen at the events you go to now (when I'm out of Florida, I'm ignored at most meetups unless the person knows me or my "value") 1.1 - An easy way to change that: greet women when they arrive, then introduce them to someone else or a group.…
How do you get more female developers to attend events?
It's that time of the day where I'm suppressing the strong urge to build a better replacement for GitHub actions. I can't believe CI/CD is/feels still so broken in 2025. (CircleCI was years ahead.) Commit. Push. Wait. Repeat.

What's your favorite CI system in terms of workflow syntax and user experience? (and why?)
you can now apply to the @ycombinator fall batch! i advise anyone & everyone to apply. worst case, you apply again (we had a few ppl in our batch who applied over 5 times until they got in) it was truly a life changing moment :)
NEW: AWS is rolling out a new free tier beginning July 15th!! New accounts get $100 in credits to start and can earn $100 exploring AWS resources
Network server is now in public preview! This uses AWS Network Load Balancer and unlocks the ability to expose TCP, UDP, and multiple ports. There's also a private version that's only accessible inside your VPC.
Who has switched their backends from Typescript to Go? Was it worth it?
Finally moved @punchpass off of Heroku. Their latest incident with the ridiculously poor communication was the last straw. Highly recommend @Flightcontrolhq - great app that makes the move to AWS much easier, with fantastic support.
After two and a half years of discipline, early mornings, late nights, disappointments, a stream of setbacks and obstacles - today I finally got MY WINGS 👨✈️🪽 I now am officially a private pilot! This is not my victory alone. Many people supported me through my training,…
