As an AWS focused solutions/systems architect, I’ve been feeling this for the last 10ish months too. I attended the first 9 re:Invent conferences (up until Covid upended things) but I was glad I didn’t attend last year; and re:Inforce sounds like it was even worse.
As an SSE who just wants to let cloud architects do their thing, stop requiring me to be an AWS expert for every god damned job!
