This was my first time attending ATO, and I delivered my Marketing Your Open Source Project talk. Brendan was also a speaker, though the organizers gravely miscalculated his popularity – they put him in a small room which ended up packed to the walls and way too hot.
Aggiungi un Posto a Tavola: Love, L’amore secondo me (ripresa)
Love, According to me (reprise)
The townspeople flock to the ark but the floodwaters are already sweeping them away. Silvestro tells God that he cannot abandon his people to die.
Aggiungi un Posto a Tavola: Peccato Che Sia Peccato (ripresa)
It’s a shame that it’s a sin (reprise)
Clementina comes to tell Silvestro boldly: “I love you!” They rehash their long-standing argument about why this is a sin.
Dreamforce 2018
This used to be one of the world’s largest conferences, with around 180,000 attendees in 2018. Hotel rooms in San Francisco had long been sold out – in at least one prior year, the organizers had docked a cruise ship at a city wharf to house attendees. I was asked at the last minute to do live social media about AWS’ participation in the event, but where I lived in Campbell was too far from the city to commute to the conference, so one of the AWS events staff gave up her hotel room for me (I suspect she was grateful not to have to attend).
You can see in the above photo how big the “campus” was. Somehow the events that I was supposed to cover had me running from the Intercontinental Hotel on one end to the Salesforce tower on the other. At least I wasn’t stuck inside a single conference hall the entire time.

Everyone seems to have advice about what potential employers and employees should look out for in the hiring process.

What follows is a tip I’ve seen elsewhere, which I share because I have had occasion to confirm it for myself.
