  • I’m a James! The third to be precise. My gramps went by Jack, and my dad by James, so I had to go by Jimmy. I still own it to this day. Other fun nicknames I’m occasionally called are Jimbo, Jymbo, Jambers, Jimboree, Jimbob, JimJam, Jombers, Jimothy, and Jammy. It’s fun having a nickname as the name I go by! Nowhere on my documents does it say “Jimmy” but that’s what everyone calls me.





  • As someone that works at another Amazon AWS dependent org, it also took out us. It was awful. Nothing I could do on my end. Why the fuck didn’t it get rolled back immediately? Why did it go to a second region? Fucking idiots on the big teams side.

    I got paged 140 times between 12 and 4 am PDT. Then there was another one where I had to hand it off at 7am because I needed fucking sleep. And they handled it until 1pm. I love my team, but it’s so awful that this even was able to happen. All our our fuck ups take 5-30 mins to roll back or manually intervene. This took them 2+ hours, and it was painful. Then it HAPPENED AGAIN! Like what the fuck.







  • Turned 30 this year. I see my coworker friend almost every day. He’ll hang out with our other friends about once every month. I hang out with my wife every day. Our girlfriend comes over on the weekends. I see other friends online Friday and Saturday usually watching YouTube and drinking, but I hang out with that same friend group locally (we’re global, but a big concentration in this city) about once every two weeks? Big hang outs (7+) are about once a month. Huge hang outs (15+) about twice a year.

    It helps being in a walkable, transit oriented city. We just walk to bars/breweries with people.
