It's a strange realization to have, in your late 40s, just how few people you can genuinely count on. Some people are incapable of being reliable, most are just busy with their own lives.
All we really have is ourselves, for better or worse.

was a joy, and I only wish we'd gotten more time to build cool things together.

It's just a job, there will be others. People are always the key parts. Good people can make a job feel fun and safe. Bad people can make a job feel anxious and toxic. The ones I got to work with closest at AWS were great people. Those are the memories I choose to take with me.

People who care about other people.

For 2024 I want to be a better manager. I also want to *find* other managers who are trying to be better for the newer generations of people in this industry. People who embrace the need to change as enthusiastically as we once drove that change ourselves.

It doesn't have to be this way. All it takes is a little imagination and any semblance of leadership. I can't tell you how many times I had people come up to me saying that the person who ran the Compute org "hated" advocacy. Once that happens, why should the service teams care?

A paycheck is a powerful thing. It can create more contortionists on Twitter than Cirque du Soleil does in Las Vegas.

Hands down, this is the reply that made me the happiest. 100% of my focus has been on building and maintaining a happy and healthy team, and while it hasn't been all smooth sailing we did pretty well.
Don't let them fall through the cracks, please. I'm counting on you.

Thousands of years of inclusivity? 🤔
I seem to remember learning something in school about India having some pretty significant historical social issues with some people being more equal than others for no good reason.

I hate when TV shows have a finale that shows everyone when they are old. No matter how futuristic or fantasy the theme of the show, it reminds me how old I am, and that the best adventures are in the past.
Also, the finale of ST: Discovery was really great. ♥️

And "everyone else is getting screwed by this new model that gives you the same product at higher prices, billed in a way that makes no one but shareholders happy, you can't be mad that we are just now doing it to you as well" is nonsense.

I'm still in listen and learn mode (so much to learn) but I'm excited to be given the opportunity to manage the "Enterprise Advocacy" team. What's that? It's a group who understands the voice and motions needed to meet enterprise customers wherever they are...

Regardless of how it did or didn't impact any individual, if the government/Capitalism response to COVID didn't convince you that we have proven the system is incapable of protecting anyone, you weren't paying attention.

Maybe, but VMC on AWS is a fundamentally different product. None of the providers *like* delivering a 3rd party bare metal service, but one of those services is not like the others...

No chance I'm holding my breath for grandkids. With everything their generation has been through, and everything they've seen out of their country, I wouldn't blame them for not wanting to.

Mostly, I'm excited to get back to a culture where I feel I can thrive and a group of coworkers that I'm excited to work with, or work with again.

For the most part, we became terrible managers. We couldn't let go of our IC roots. We couldn't make the context switch from "me" to "you" effectively. We couldn't embrace the wave of diversity and inclusion that tech desperately needed.

IMO the companies who do this best are the ones who have a defined inflection point to take a product from an emerging/growth status into a more mature phase. How customers want to use things changes over time, how you build the product has to change too.

Second this statement, WAY different from company to company. Some places have painfully non-technical PM orgs, and these are the folks that translate conversations with engineering. YMMV

Not really in need of a girlfriend as much as in need of a person who will respond "omw!" when I suggest taking road trips to see concerts, National Parks, and railroad museums and then coming home and collecting the models of the coolest trains we saw on the trip.
not really in need of a boyfriend as much as in need of a person who will respond with "omw!" when i suggest coming over to read tech histories + program + watch videos about building things + find similar things in my apartment to take apart and put back together again 🙏

It's a very strange and unfriendly job market, and I'm very grateful for how this process turned out. I'm excited to learn, excited to lead, excited to help customers and especially excited do it in a place where kindness isn't a foreign language.

Also remember that their cloud sucked not because they had the wrong people building it, but because EMC and Cisco saw it as a way to pad hardware sales until it had no chance to NOT suck.

I get that space is hard, and I celebrate every accomplishment from every company putting in the effort.
That said...
Why does everything have to be "a milestone achievement for the future of spaceflight"? Can't it just be "We checked the box, time for the next box" instead?

AWS was an adventure, and I'll miss my team there very much. We had an audacious mission, one I still believe would best serve the products and customers, but when a org decides there's no room for advocacy, you accept it and move on with all the grace you can.

We were the high achievers, but once we got there, we didn't really have a blueprint for what happens next. I have friends who just stayed in the field, and kept collecting checks. Some moved into other roles, like product management or marketing. Some became managers.
