  • I’m a recent graduate with an MS IT of Purdue Global, and the classes in AWS were pretty unhelpful. However I wanted to get actually certified in AWS.

    I mostly did this by taking practice tests, and putting the topics onto flash cards, and drilled the flash cards into my brain. That’s just how I learn though. Drill the definitions into your head until they are down cold.

    I passed the certificate in May. I currently have a job, but I have my eye open for a new one that matches my new skills.



  • People pronouncing processes (and biases) like they rhyme with “chimpanzees”, instead of “addresses”.

    Since the English language has done words that borrow the Greek and make an -eez sound, like crisis to crises, people seem to think process is Greekified. It doesn’t follow the same pattern at all.

    English is hard enough as it is without inventing extra rules to try to make us sound smarter. Meanwhile, I try to de-Greekify the language with octopuses, syllabuses, and cactuses - all valid plurals in English.
