    Today was my last day at Amazon/AWS. After 12+ years in total I've decided to take on a new adventure and will be starting my new gig in a few weeks. No badge on laptop photos, no Day 1 quotes. It's been a lot of a lot and im grateful to friends along the way. Cheers!!

    I think one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves in IT/tech is that we need to prepare for "scale" of traffic. Generally speaking 99% of apps never break 1000 rps. Even with that you can likely serve millions of active users in a month. 1/
