I was among the first 50 worldwide to complete a weekend build challenge and AWS sent me this jacket. I made a serverless Nicolas Cage news aggregator with Bedrock/Nova-lite. You can read about it here: builder.aws.com/content/3GKT... #aws #serverless #awscommunitybuilder
Praise Cage! Fulfill the fantasy of being a post cold war arms dealer with this Lord of War terminal idle game. Requires tmux and is a ton of fun to watch number go up! Grab the repo at tangled tangled.org/paulchinjr.b...
Last night's NorfolkJS was incredible! Sebastian showed off a mind blowing ascii 2.5D engine he wrote. Our youngest presenter at 14! If you have suggestions for topics or workshops you want, send me a DM.
I fell for the humblebrag, but I worked really hard on it last year, and I have all my new friends to thank for it. Thanks again to sls.guru for sponsoring me. hashtag#praisecage

Needed a new photo for an upcoming conference, pretty happy with it.
Encouraging students to iterate through problem-solving is the best use of our energy. I was grateful to participate as a judge in the 3rd Invention Convention over the weekend. I'll never tire of seeing students demonstrate their ability to alter the world with their vision.
reading the output of a reasoning model feels like reading the world's most elaborate console.log()
We were ~vibe coding~ last night at Norfolkjs. Special thanks to our members, Ted and Austin, for being excellent ambassadors. We meet on the last Monday of each month and hope to see you at the next one! Thank you Assembly Norfolk for hosting and believing in this community.
If AWS invented autofocusing camera lenses, the community would end up calling it "Focusless". And you'd have people yelling "the lens still has moving glass!"
"Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society."
