Obama won his elections by selling hope and change. He failed to deliver anything but incremental progress that was immediately overturned after his presidency. Now he is telling us to hope less, dream smaller, and settle. Ok, Karen.

The main thing that separates a rat from a squirrel is branding.

There is now abundant evidence that Trump attempted to bribe a foreign government to interfere in a domestic election. This was an abuse of the executive office and does not represent American values. Powerful 8 minutes. https://youtube.com/watch?v=mqdShS7DubM

The first 2 hours of an AWS workshop on serverless have been configuring servers with CloudFormation / cdk.

GCP and Azure had a better DX, but I really wish I could just use Zeit at work.

It’s nice to hear companies now referring to their MongoDB databases as a “legacy” datastore. #ServerlessSthlm

I spent my childhood in a Christian ̶c̶u̶l̶t̶ bubble listening to CCM. I grew tired of its triteness long before I left the church. Now, Christian music’s biggest stars refuse to change their tune for the Trump era. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/10/15/us/christian-music-ccm-trump-blake/index.html
