Literally *everything* that happens in your cloud provider are things that we did, professionally, in datacenters, before there was a cloud provider. You can do them. It's not magic. You might choose not to! Which is great. I choose not to! But it's not because we can't. :)

For years I’ve said the fastest way to get promoted is to build relationships with folks OUTSIDE your immediate team… this tracks.
I learned a magic trick recently: Have people in your org with big titles who aren't directly connected to you, but you would get value from regular interaction? Ask for an every 6-week meeting. That sounds like virtually never, and they say yes.

Never take advice from someone who hasn't achieved the thing they're advising about. Incredibly underrated hack.

Most people agree that if you've only ever worked at sub-50 person startups, there's a steep learning curve to be in a bigCo. What astounds me is how few people understand the opposite. Just because you've led teams of 200 does NOT mean you're ready for a whole company of 10.

As a newly minted software founder (who was also a complete little shit to vendors for decades), the wisdom here resonates deeply with me. I’ve never met Charity, but I’d like to.
"People used to take me and my technical opinions seriously. But then I became a software vendor." charity.wtf/2023/03/28/quest… I wrote a long and winding reply to this question, because I *absolutely* remember when this happened to me. Yeah dude, that was trippy. ☺️

While your sensitive data and info are precious, people across DevSecOps and beyond all just want to know WHO to talk to. That information doesn't need to be a secret. hubs.li/Q01H63kq0
