Amazon Web Services - Four Years and Out

Today marks four years since I joined AWS. My last day will be Friday.\nI have to say being fired from AWS is actually a relief. There have been a lot of changes to the company since I joined in 2022, and the company I wanted to work for is no longer the same company.\nThis past year, while I was doing my best to make AWS play nice in open source communities, there were two main drivers making me unhappy with my job: organizational change and the acceleration of the focus on Generative AI.\n

Adventures in Open Source Software

3) *Mid-sized companies:* They either think they should do as big ones or don't know how to hire.

Beautify ones should be with a cold heart to survive.
Pancakes rise with a closed lid without any soda.
Concentration on pain heals.

IT industry changes in last 20 years:
- opensource everywhere

Here's why:
1) *Big companies:* Much of money and a large pool of candidates -> many crazy interview steps and requirements. Which good IT developers don't need.
2) *Small companies:* They have no money, no candidates, nothing -> don't know how to hire. #nojob #unemployed #beauty #pancakes #itindustry #employment #linkedin #hiring #nojobs #unemployment #nojob #unemployed #beauty #pancakes #itindustry #singularity

Please, please, please stop using passkeys for encrypting user data

Passkeys are the future of authentication, but using them for data encryption is a disaster waiting to happen. Overloading these credentials creates a dangerous blast radius that can lead to the irreversible loss of a user's most sacred memories and documents.
