I lead the Developer Relations team at LocalStack. Based on Boston. AWS Community Builder.https://bsky.app/profile/remotesynthesis.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/remotesynthesis.com/post/3mm5fwyyy622pBig update to DevRel(ish) this past weekend to make it even better for organizers. You can now add speakers and sessions to a gathering for folks organizing more speaker-centric events. I've got a ton more plans to truly empower organizers in the community work they do. devrelish.tech https://devrelish.tech18 May 2026 17:34 +0000at://did:plc:56ek3ps3dttt2ui3cwdmmuxe/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm5fwyyy622phttps://bsky.app/profile/remotesynthesis.com/post/3mm5dvj5zlk2wOf the many corrupt and sickening things we have become accustomed to seeing every day, this is arguably the most corrupt and sickening. A $1.77B slush fund for people who attempted to destroy our democracy funded by taxpayers.

The past decade has shown that while a majority of workers at a university/company/etc may lean left, wealthy leadership do not. At best when tight labor markets or politics required they gave lip service to issues they never cared about.

Want to avoid a couple hundred dollars in meetup fees just to do this. I built a completely free site for managing local tech community events.

Sadly it appears the details of my hotel reservation were accessed (though hotel never notified me until I reported this), making it even more convincing.

You lay off tons of talent & replace it with the same AI model that your competitor is using.
