Reposted by Amara GrahamTheSpinMD @mikemaney.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Something I’ve learned over the last decade and a half of attending #monktoberfest: The ones and zeros in technology are secondary to the humans behind them. Empathy is the most powerful and most important product the industry can build. 1177

Amara Graham @missamarakay.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I have always checked the box to be added to the waitlist for an earlier appointment and I have yet to be contacted. We are talking years here and I'm convinced this is just fake. 150
Amara Graham @missamarakay.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I need adblock but for everyone's AI widgets that are blinking and talking and otherwise pissing me off. 010
Amara Graham @missamarakay.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I had a CT scan this morning and had to drink 1.5 liters of cold contrast and hours later I'm still freezing which is wild because my baseline is sweating. 000

Amara Graham @missamarakay.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Does anyone know someone at Holistics? Your tool + AI has me convinced I could be a BI developer. That's a compliment. 000
Amara Graham @missamarakay.bsky.social · 22/04/2026"I'll keep you in mind if anything changes" totally goes out the window when you added me to your marketing newsletter without asking me... and then wouldn't let me unsubscribe. I will now and forever avoid you and your business. 000

Amara Graham @missamarakay.bsky.social · 13/04/2026It's funny to talk to conference organizers and they ask me why I tore down the Austin convention center... like I personally drove the bulldozer. 010
Amara Graham @missamarakay.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Well thank goodness I have a printer because it seems like every tech conference I'm working with needs a wet signature... 000
Amara Graham @missamarakay.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Building this CVE demo has taught me two things: 1. There are people in tech who do not know what "CVE" stands for and I'm jealous of them. 2. Iterating through this KEV (known exploited vulnerabilities) list has taught me there are like 1-2 added daily. 000

Amara Graham @missamarakay.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Is "this hits different" pre-programmed into AI generated responses with a casual tone? I'm suddenly seeing it in responses everywhere. Is this the new em dash? 😆 010
Amara Graham @missamarakay.bsky.social · 30/03/2026AI, AI everywhere and I'm still begging for more information about doctors' specialities and interests before I make an appointment with them because I'd rather not waste everyone's time... 100

Amara Graham @missamarakay.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I was in a coworking space's "classroom" yesterday that had literally the worst acoustics I've ever experienced.
