Why would a developer spend a week at re:Invent? It puts you in the same room as the engineers who build AWS services and the developers solving the same problems you are. The sessions teach you a lot. The hallway conversations will teach you more. There's still time to join us in Las Vegas, November 30–December 4.

The damage AWS has caused my company over the past few days is astronomical. Unacceptable. Can’t even get through with support @awscloud

The highest-value part of conferences is often the feedback loop: engineers hear the same problem from many teams, then turn hallway conversations into product constraints. That signal is hard to reproduce remotely.
