Yesterday I had the pleasure to join my first 12min.me event. Never heard about it? It is a volunteer-driven NGO that hosts tightly time-boxed, 3×12‑minute talk evenings with Q&A and networking to connect people across industries around inspiring, relevant topics in a relaxed afterwork setting.

Three great talks set the topics for the evening with quite some insightful discussions among speakers and participants. Very insightful and I’m looking forward to the next event! 😃

Everything changes all the time - Open Mind for a different view. And nothing else matter.

Last week’s re:invent is a wrap. I guess many of the folks in my network are still busy with digesting what happened last week - like me.

It’s a wrap also for Werner Vogels rocking the stage with his CTO keynotes - a 14-year streak starting from 2012:

 1. 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟮: Introduced foundational principles of 21st-century cloud architectures, emphasizing distributed systems and fault-tolerant designs for scalable applications.

Quite some stuff, but I’m only shortly glimpsing over them. Promise?! Last year I wrote an article here [2], in which I was focussing on the AI enhancements over the re:invent 2024 days. Helped me at the time to get a better overview, not sure if I will do this again for this year. Views: Helpful?

🎯 It’s this time of the year. The AWS Community gets ready for the event of the year: re:Invent. And Werner Vogels publishes his tech predictions [1]. Like every year, a densely packed piece with loads of gems in it. Looking forward to his keynote on Thursday. This year Werner came up with 5 major themes, if I didn’t miscount. The first one is about:
