TEL Newsletter – December 2019

TEL Newsletter – December 2019

By Santa’s great dangly baubles, it’s been twelve whole months since the last TEL newsletter. It’s a wonder that the TEL group, who exist to publicise the great technical work that the people of Shine Solutions do, don’t just fire that guy that writes these posts. Or doesn’t write them, more accurately. Saddle up the reindeer, we’ve got a lot to cover – including finding out if you can actually saddle a reindeer.

I had the science people down in the TEL laboratory analyse the last year’s work done by the wonderful Shine employees to find out how we can get even more blog posts and conference presentations out of our people.

Anyway, those science types came up with some recommendations and a whole report that I will definitely read at some point once I remember where I left it. There was a graph on the front of the report that looked like this:

I don’t need science to tell me the obvious conclusion. The secret to blog/presentation productivity is to be called Erin. We’ll be implementing this recommendation immediately.

January

Erin Defodji Sogbohossou started the year off with two blog posts: AWS Amplify and Serverless GraphQL with AppSync. Despite no longer working for Shine he was recently promoted to Vice-President of Sales for our Antarctic Division. Working for a different company is no barrier to advancement in forward-thinking Shine Solutions.

AaEroin Brown, recently promoted to Chief Executive Executive of Chiefs, wrote about using IoT to control some lights instead of fingers and switches like a normal person.

Erin Zimmer, recently promoted to Senior Executive Vice-President of Web Components, gave two presentations: one at the Culture Amp Tech Breakfast about Web Components, and the other at Linux Conf AU about browsers.

February

Erin Cliff Subagio, recently promoted to Executive Chief Operating Operator, gave a presentation at GDG Cloud Melbourne about using Dialogflow to add a voice interface to your application.

March

Erin Archit Kejariwal, recently promoted to Senior Junior Senior Vice-President of Repositioned CSS Boxes, gave a presentation at the Melbourne AWS User Group. He talked about the experiences of being a junior developer in an enterprise infrastructure team, which was clearly all lies as he is a Senior Junior Senior Vice-President.

April

DavErin Benfield, recently promoted to Executive Vice-Chief of Presidents, gave a talk at the DevOps Sydney Meetup. It was an introduction to building on Google’s Cloud Platform.

July

Erin Zimmer, recently promoted to Chief Erin Officer, spoke at the Angular Conference NG-MY in Malaysia about upgrading Angular.

Erin Gareth Jones, the only remaining employee of Shine not at the Executive level, wrote two blog posts. One about being old and cranky and wishing these damn kids would stay off the lawn, and the other about refactoring javascript for greater confusion and job security.

Dhe-Erin-dra Nath, recently promoted to Senior Executive of Vice-Presidents (Sydney), wrote about Regulatory Reporting in the Cloud. Which is exactly as exciting as you’d imagine.

August

Erin Yogi Langnickel, recently promoted to Chief Executive Vice-President of Beards, wrote about A/B Testing in Angular 7.

Erin Kendrick Kesley, wrote about deploying a static web application with Serverless and Codebuild. Join me in congratulating him on his promotion to Junior Chief Executive of Senior Vice-Presidents. Very well deserved.

Erin Zimmer, CErinO GH(Erins) & SEVP(WC), spoke at the Angular Brisbane Meetup about upgrading Angular which I’m sure was a completely different presentation to the one she gave in July at NG-MY about upgrading Angular and any similarities are a coincidence. She also ran a workshop about upgrading Angular at Components Conf.

Erin Michael Bloch, EVP SBF(Eu), wrote about upgrading AEM for the blog.

Erin Christian Catchpole, Chief Senior Vice-President of Obsolete Technologies, wrote about the good old days of Java and how kids today have got it so easy.

Congratulations on your promotion

By reading to the end of this post, you’ve been promoted to Senior Vice-President of Blog Consumption with all the privileges (but none of the salary) that comes with it. Couldn’t have happened to a better person. So happy for you!
