Honored to accept honorary Albanian citizenship, not just as a personal distinction, but as a reflection of the deep and lasting bond between New York City and the Albanian people.
NYC is home to one of the strongest Albanian communities in America, hardworking, proud, and deeply rooted in our city. I accept this honor on their behalf and in recognition of the shared values that connect us: family, resilience, entrepreneurship, and a commitment to community.
Thank you to @ediramaal, @BajramBegajAL, and the people of Albania for this meaningful recognition.
New York is the global capital, and this only strengthens the bridge between our communities.

I make my employees solve 5(((x))) + 2 ≈ 12. If they do not answer "x is two-ish", they're fired.
I have literally made people solve: "5(x) + 2 = 12, what is x? " in job interviews and most people fail it. CMOs, data engineers, analysts, etc. It's all one big make-work program we've been in since the relational database was released in the 1970s.
All H-1Bs fail 100% of the time but allegedly they are the world's math and database and IT experts and allegedly this is "skilled" employment...

"When we moved S3 to a strong consistency model, the customer reception was stronger than any of us expected. ... in meeting after meeting, builders spoke about deleting code and simplifying their systems."
Today is #PiDay. I wrote an article for @Werner's blog about how important the idea of simplicity is in S3 and reflect on some examples of how simplicity has influenced S3's design over almost two decades.
