To say 2022 was wild would be an understatement. So many miles traveled, students taught, friends made, and memories created. It was a great year, but 2023 is already aiming to be better. Stay tuned to see what’s in store! What is your favorite memory from this year?

My number one tip for anyone getting started in tech is to start small.
🥅 Make goals.
🎯 Set milestones.
👀 Hold yourself accountable.
Reduce the friction between you and knowledge… small steps turn into great strides before you know it.

I'm teaching AWS Well-Architected Best Practices today and the majority of my students are DevOps focused. We're having a great discussion about why they prefer to use serverless workloads and how the six pillars benefit them. Even sustainability! Which pillar is your favorite?

I don't know who needs to hear this but... two things
1/ Neglecting water heater maintenance is costly and highly inconvenient. Get your water heaters inspected annually.
2/ Don't use your AWS Account Root User for daily tasks. Could also become costly and highly inconvenient.

Everyone deserves a chance!
Too young? Give them a chance.
Too old? Give them a chance.
Lacks knowledge? Give them a chance.
Overqualified? Give them a chance.
