AWS copilot, SAM, lightsail, ... (others?) seems like a lot of the higher level AWS services are cloudformation under the covers.

#1 is controversial, in my experience, I think 80% of of devs take the position that "no tool has value", 95% of clients take the position "what is a tool?".
This is the path to

I'm disappointed, tweeting at @arguetron - a bot who exists only to be combative doesn't trigger twitter's new warning.
Loki (Disney+ show) is so relatable because of our experiences with DMV (MVA, etc) and ServiceNow.

I have yet to see a single candidate do this (contribute to open source as a way to create experience). I think the sort of person that would contribute to open source is so different from the rest of the population, that they're the sort of people that have lots of exp already https://x.com/jjeffryes/status/1445762753730252804

Do we still need to boycott Coors now that Inbev owns them?
Maybe? they're MolsonCoors today & they still give $$$ to right-wing politics as recently as 2010. I don't see how a conglomerate could allow local division heads to give $ to their pet political projects tho.

Okay people, I'm here to get you thru this emergency.
Your uncle thinks he will get the vaccine, in 4 years, so he's made a compromise & expects you to lay off it.

re: fixation on autonomy - eventually, increasing autonomy just turns into absent management & direction. People got something to say about autonomy, but they don't know how to enunciate it.
https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/project-management-in-tech
Big orgs want to remove all autonomy because they (sometimes rightly) trust no one. But "autonomy good - boss bad" doesn't really suggest a solution. In the limit, autonomy is getting a paycheck while you do whatever strikes your fancy today, including an in depth review of beers
♡ 0 ↻ 0It is like all these articles on "autonomy good-boss bad" articles were written just interviewing do-ers who's main problem is making management happy, instead of also checking in with the managers who have organizational goals as well.
♡ 0 ↻ 0I'm just waiting for someone to reply saying, "Matt, you just don't understand, actually 'autonomy good-boss bad'"!
♡ 0 ↻ 0It's kind of like game of thrones where Daenerys executes all the slave owners without thinking about what it was that the slave owners did. If you want to replace a low-autonomy system with a higher autonomy solution, you need to figure out how things will get done
♡ 0 ↻ 0(cue someone to say, "Matt, you don't understand, 'slavery bad'" and I'm like, yes, to end slavery the ex-slaves needed to get their hands on land, capital and education- skip that and you have converted slaves to beggars, at best only aesthetically more pleasing)

Kind of like how Spanish speakers just know what the gender of a novel word is, Americans need to just know if a thing is measured in Imperial or Metric. $#!+ is metric. https://x.com/ZachWeiner/status/1444294970270261250

I can't find the right words to explain a single CSV is uniquely unsuited for conveying relational data, i.e. 20 tables with foreign keys, or alternately, json with deeply nested fields. https://twitter.com/kbladow/status/1443400064882384897
I gotta check if they allow user reporting. Without user reporting, banning ToS violations is a waste of time. You can't even report blatant copyright vio (i.e. say posting a full Marvel movie or rips of Audible audio books) https://x.com/NPR/status/1443300129180639243
What I don't understand about ITIL, is does it involve do-ers? Is it strictly a pure activity that avoids touching computers? If that is the case, it has certain advantages over other methodologies that break things.
