Instead of easily-distinguishable icons, you now get a generic gray text button of the first name of your account, which is usually the same between work and personal accounts.

Let's say you want to write a comparator function that takes two objects.
def is_newer(older, newer):
return older.timestamp < newer.timestamp

We presented some slides about the learnings of building the next-generation Medicaid data warehouse on Amazon Web Services. I am not a Federal employee; I work at Nuna, subcontracted to QSSI to do this work.
Following are some quick thoughts and notes expanding on the presentation in
