- Best career advice I've followed and pass along "Best way to spend your 1st 6 months on a new job/role is to get a series of little pain points resolved, w/o worrying abt how big/interesting the project is. Being the go-to person builds credibility n trust, unlocking your growth"
- New decade, big leap: After five and half years at Confluent, I've decided to step down from an operational role in the company. Excited to continue supporting Confluent as a board member & evangelizing for @apachekafka and the event streaming category. Thrilled for what's next!
- I'm really excited to introduce KSQL: An open source, interactive, distributed Streaming SQL engine for Apache Kafka
- Really excited about the launch of @apachekafka tutorials — a collection of simple tutorials and code snippets to build end-to-end event streaming apps using Kafka. Give it a spin and contribute new tutorials! kafka-tutorials.confluent.io
- It's @confluentinc's 5th birthday and I got a chance to inaugurate our first office in my home country 🇮🇳 with our amazing team in Bangalore. This goes pretty high up in the list of highlights on this immigrant founder journey 🌟 Happy 5th birthday, Confluent! 🧡💙
- People don’t leave companies, they leave their bosses. People don’t leave a mission, they leave their jobs. True for any level, role or seniority.

- Periodic reminder to minorities/women in tech early in your career: feedback like “you’re aggressive/competitive/<insert insecurity here>” “people are afraid of you” is pervasive, a code word for “we’re threatened by you” Don’t fret it, this also means “you’re competent”! 🙌
- At tech conf today: "Do you wrk@Confluent" "Yes. I'm a founder" "How?" "1 of the Kafka creators" "Really? Like you wrote some of the code?"

- .@confluentinc has raised $125 million at a $2.5 billion valuation. We did that while doubling the team and growing our subscription bookings 3.5x YoY in 2018. Extremely excited for the next few years for us and proud of the team that got us here 🙌 forbes.com/sites/alexkonr…
