You can now implement basic optimistic concurrency control (for object creation, not updates) in S3
Amazon S3 now supports conditional writes
Amazon S3 adds support for conditional writes that can check for the existence of an object before creating it. This capability can help you more easily ... aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wha…

Miriam Margolyes:
“What Israel is doing is wrong. It is wicked…
Voice your disgust and detestation of the Israeli actions.
Please, you are then doing the right thing and behaving in accordance with Jewish tradition.”
I won't remain silent whilst my lifelong friend @OwenJones84 is smeared as someone who "disparages the memory of the Holocaust".
He once shared my intensely-personal moment of remembrance and has cited the need to remember the unique horror of the Shoah independent.co.uk/voices/com…

1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is too silent about the ongoing war in Gaza. Here is how I see things based on reading hundreds of articles and watching thousands of videos and images about the war. This tweet chain contains my conclusions as a sort of executive summary.
Having never read this book, I found @patkua's post super interesting and informative. Great final thoughts as well. Thanks Pat!
I talk a lot about the book, "The Culture Map" and realised I haven't published a page to refer to. Here's my book notes summarising key ideas from the book patkua.com/blog/book-notes-t…
Finally getting around to reading oreilly.com/library/view/edg… by @jimhighsmith et al. and Lean Value Tree is *chef's kiss* 😗🤌

Back from holiday to find these two books waiting for me 🤗 Looking forward to diving in. Thanks @VaughnVernon, @davefarley77, @neal4d et al.
I'm too busy these days to stay up to date with the latest #serverless thinking but I made a point of catching @ghohpe, @_moralesl and @julian_wood discuss using #CDK to compose serverless infra in terms of a model of your business domain! youtu.be/wOnDGouu2Rs
I've often said that with #serverless: (1) the infra primitives map much more closely to your application's control/data flow, (2) AWS is your application runtime and (3) infra configuration is your (higher-order) application programming language.
Just me 😂
Does everyone else make a princess dress at the end of #eventstorming or is that just a @smith_stefan thing?
Recovering with a walk in the woods after leading 2 days of company-wide Event Storming workshops for 50+ people. Thank you to @_md and my other co-facilitators! Thank you to @CiaranMcNulty and @Heimeshoff for the coaching and @ziobrando for the training!

This is a great talk as well. I finally watched it. Lots of great tips in here for those that want to stay on the IC track. cc @linclark @bryanl @ShettyNy @smith_stefan @blanquish
This one was good too 😉 youtu.be/OcwpMBfZoek
I'm honoured to be taking part in a forthcoming @TheLeadDev panel webinar 😊. In "Understanding the role of a Principal engineer", we'll discuss our experiences of the role and how we got there. Register at leaddev.com/events/understan….
#principalengineer #staffplus #techleadership
We'll cover the technical and strategic conversations that occur at the Principal level, various definitions of the role, and the skills and experience you'll rely on.
In case you missed it, the recording of our panel discussion is now live! leaddev.com/events/understan…. It was so great to chat with these incredible folks: @blanquish @ShettyNy @linclark @bryanl. Had the chance to mention @patkua 's Trident Model too 🙂thekua.com/atwork/2019/02/th…
This is typical of @heitor_lessa 😊. He's an incredible technologist and person. Generous with his knowledge, time and praise for others. Thanks Heitor!
