Thinking back to when my IT teacher sent a note home to my parents saying I should drop the subject due to an obvious lack of talent and interest
Everyone can shine given the right environment with purpose and autonomy. I always choose to believe in the potential of people!

Congratulations @NIDeveloper on receiving the first Now Go Build award, and from @Werner himself! Amazing!

I really like App Runner too
Feb 22
Why is the App Runner sundown article gone from the AWS blog? Did they revert their decision? I'm confused.
Still found on Google & listed on aws-news.com, but article seems to be removed.
What's the state here?

Confidence, clarity and stability.
They would talk to me about the big opportunities to solve then let me be 100% myself in solving them whilst offering direct feedback on what I was doing well / could improve from their perspective

The one day we travel, all of UK airspace goes down 😭😭😭

I am aware of a technical issue which impacted @NATS operations causing travel disruption this afternoon.
I have been informed systems have now been restored but continued disruption is expected, and passengers should check with individual airports for advice.

I asked Kiro to redesign the home page in the theme of Jurassic Park where the ghost is an employee who didn't make it off the island... It did weave the story in well but the colours are definitely off 😂

I always find it endearing that any time I cut the hedges at the front of my house onto the footpath. An older person always stops to ask me about the tools I’m using and to tell me I’m doing a good job

So apparently @amazon now texts me when a driver is about to deliver to say “if it’s dark please turn on a light”. Sms texts me, not an app notification
Can… can they not just use the time of the day to not send me that text during daylight hours? Also can it be a notification?

When the vet tries to give your dog a treat and he does the dog equivalent of “stranger danger, don’t take sweets from people you don’t know”

Me: logs on early to try to claim the @MrTaytoNI free pack
Website crashes at 11:59
Shows me the form after some wait, takes all my info then says sorry.
Not a good experience Tayto. Don’t ask for the data then say sorry just kidding

When there’s an unprecedented all Ireland red storm warning and they use the emergency alert system… and @kperreault95 gets the warning on her phone but I don’t.
I guess we know who NI gov likes more…

@codingmatheus did an unbelievable job at our @BelfAWSt_UG meetup tonight, everyone I spoke to after the event said the same as @NIDeveloper, it was so engaging and covered A LOT of new releases and features.
