A Month in Aiven.io
A month has already gone since my start at Aiven.io and it’s time for a first, and brief, look back at my experience so far together with few suggestions (even if nobody asks) for anyone that will follow my steps.
TL;DR: The journey has been great, met several amazing people and learnt lots using cool tech! A bit shocked about food choices… but that’s life 🤌 !
Looking Forward
Looking Back
It was February 2012 when I was meant to take a flight from a foggy Treviso Airport direction London Stansted. The fog created several problems, all passengers were taken by bus to Venice and we had to wait 3 hours before boarding on the plane. The flight 🛬 landed with an overall 4h of delay, not great if the scheduled arrival time was 8PM! I then caught a bus to Liverpool street and finally got lost while trying to reach my hotel.
What’s My (Talk) Age Again?
Las week I shared a personal experience of talking to a small online audience (just one person) and how that episode made me think about my commitment to public talking and understanding that performing at best is still key for both the speaker and the audience.
One of the items that I explored was the Reflection bit: trying to understand what/why the paper/abstract didn’t work, why it didn’t attract people and what can be done to improve it.
