After seeing Rick's Re:invent talk, the one where at about minute 40 everyones' heads exploded, I emailed him (I'm in a very far away other department of Amazon) to ask him for more, because everything he was saying was absolutely not the way my group was using DynamoDB (ie: we were doing it wrong).
He could have ignored my email entirely. He's a busy guy, right? I wouldn't have held it against him at all. Instead, he was super nice, provided me with more documentation, and honestly was just really helpful.
If he recommends your book, I'm buying it.
