Applies to those looking for success with startups too, frankly! https://t.co/zCQkzVKHBt

Does the FTC suit mean I won’t get aggressively retargeted ads all over Insta and FB? Because I’m all for that. I clicked on one single yarn shop post and now I see them so frequently I’ve sworn off EVER shopping there.

---

@stowball @mobywhale @SydCSS @Gemma_Stiles Sounds like you’re covered, but for future reference, it’s morning in Germany and I’m always up for helping @mobywhale! 😉

WHOA. This year @Blackboard’s traffic spiked to 50x their usual level due to Covid. Sometimes a black swan event looks like a DDoS! You can’t always predict an event, but you can still be prepared… #reinvent 🦢 https://t.co/Xj1rdneZ31

---

This is fascinating. The start of the Australian school year was @Blackboard’s first sign something remarkable was happening. Traffic shot up 10x. Brian and Gavin walking us through the war story through lens of AWS Well-Architected Framework. #reinvent https://t.co/TRjX3zSeDJ

---

First time this #reinvent I’ve literally gasped at a slide reveal. WHOA. That’s what 50x load looks like. Sounds like the @Blackboard ops team were working around the clock to make sure schools could teach. 😳 https://t.co/QOSrYBVXYL

---

@Blackboard They ran out of IP addresses! 😱 Thankfully they were able to add a new CIDR block to their VPC and avoid having to tear everything down… #reinvent

---

@msharp @stowball @mobywhale @SydCSS @Gemma_Stiles It’s quite likely I would have presented my talk in German. See what you missed out on? 😂 (Make me proud, @stowball!)

---

The work the @Blackboard team did to evolve their architecture early allowed them to scale up to handle 90x their usual traffic in October. NINETY TIMES. (You really should register for #reInvent if you haven’t already and watch this session on-demand!) https://t.co/GBFNVUDp1v

I really enjoyed @benjamin_l_s’s session on the Serverless LAMP stack. As he points out, 80% of the web still runs on PHP. Custom runtimes mean you can run serverless PHP functions and never have to worry about scaling Apache. 😃 #reInvent https://t.co/9F0ZIvym8A

I like that tech conferences now include sessions with cloud architecture diagrams and demos about talking to spacecraft. SPACECRAFT. Really feels like you’re living in the future! 🚀📡🛰️ #reinvent @Yudhajeet1 https://t.co/oAyvkFRxsq

@randomknits Did you see mine when we were packing up? It affected my mental state A LOT.

---

@mattallen This has been on my career plan for a while now. Planning to do the GAICD when I eventually go back to Oz, so it’s a bit early for me yet. (I believe @allPowerde is interested and available now though!)

---

Favourite part of this morning’s Knitting with Kris stream: @randomknits yelling “Spit! Spit!” in her house while watching. 😂 https://t.co/M7XF9CfN4i

---

Great 🧵 and initiative from @mattallen. I should also mention – not only is there a big demand for people from tech backgrounds to become board directors/advisors, there’s even more so for WOMEN. So tech ladies – time to step up and literally claim a seat at the (board) table! https://t.co/LkZC1WiA9M

---

RT @mattallen: I’d love for anyone who identifies as a woman, has been in a technical role and aspires to join a board in a leadership role…

---

@mattallen Just shared it myself with that angle. It’s something @SwitchSharonOn and I had many conversations about a few years back. I’ve also had the topic on the @SydTechLeaders Trello for a long time if you’d like to talk about it there in 2021!

---

@neil_killick @randomknits That would be a very good title for a cross stitch stream, but not so much for knitting. 😂

---

@neil_killick @randomknits There are, but I’m assuming you meant “Kris-stitch” as a pun, and it’s not really a pun in the knitting world.
