@troublewithwords Amazon putting ads on Prime Video is a textbook case of what @pluralistic calls #enshittification: “OK, we've got you where we want you, so now we'll start making the product worse & sucking more money out of it.”
AMZN seems to be doubling-down hard on the whole enshittification strategy: from turning their storefront into a pay-to-play search engine for cheap crap, to amped-up Kindle DRM lock-in, to ads on Prime Video, it's an across-the-board effort.
I’ve just been laid off and am therefore extremely available for hire!
I know a decent bit of #Python and some #TypeScript, have worked in #AWS#cloud environments for a number of years now, also love #Django, and have a good amount of practice with #remote work. I’m also usually up for learning something new.
So, if your backend is a little janky and you thought about rewriting it in Go, I can save you from that by rearchitecting and refactoring. With the end result being better. 😇
I'm remote in central Europe (CET). Happy to provide CV on demand.
#introduction toot to get things moving.
I’m a #trans mom working in #tech since I was 17 and do a whole lot of #rollerskate#dance in my spare time and love teaching it. If you’re in #Europe and go to the jams we may have met as I try to hit all the big ones.
I’ve worked on #AWS for so long it is my specialty and every new service just looks like several other services bundled together and it's rare I meet anyone using it well.
Also I’m so sick of working in tech and look forward to escaping into the forest.

@internetarchive brought down by #AI company making tens of thousands of requests per second for public domain OCR files that was launched from 64 virtual hosts on amazon’s #AWS services.
They blocked the IP's, got Internet Archive up and running and another 64 addresses started the same type of activity a couple of hours later.
I'm studying for the #AWS Certified Practitioner exam in order to later take the AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam.
I wrote a short blog post about what I'm using to study. If you're interested you can read more here:
MQTT is an OASIS standard messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). It is of the most popular protocols in the Internet of Things domain. AWS supports MQTT, which is the default communication method between devices and AWS IoT Core service. But there are some significant differences between the implementation of the MQTT protocol at AWS and the OASIS specification.
With the recent news around AWS charging for IPv4 addresses soon, @Quinnypig set up a helpful repo to highlight the pieces of the AWS ecosystem that lack IPv6 support:
friends, if you know anybody who is looking for a back end/api #dev with a lot of #aws experience, let me know. I have a friend who's still looking. It's a TOUGH market these days. #fedihired (i hope)
Here is my toot resume in case anyone has open positions:
Experience: staff software engineer, #backend#webdeveloper, #python, #django, #postgresql, #terraform, #redis, #rabbitmq, #kubernetes, #aws, #gcp
I get things done and worked with pretty much any tech out there. I learn fast, have no problem coding in other languages. I have experience leading teams. I helped growing an engineering team from 10 to 150 engineers. I know how to scale things. My code is resilient and has tests. #fedihire
We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer who is interested to help our customers, operating and optimizing our distributed storage solution for #kubernetes and #aws (current focus #eks). Be aware, this position may require direct contact with customers - just in case this isn't your thing 😅
Position is full remote, and while it says Germany, it is open to the broader world out there. LinkedIn just wanted us to put something 🫣
