I’m convinced; Devin is absolutely going to put a bunch of developers out of work.

Please do not pet the AWS employee.

Saving this for the future; when there's one day a Vietnam AWS region, this is why they curiously won't have Managed NAT Gateways available in-region.

For those who haven't been following the Redis / Valkey drama, I made you a quick explainer. Hope this helps; I think it's remarkably fair and balanced.

Good morning to everyone except the thieves at Redis. You didn't build it; you stole it from the community.

If you want it from the ones who built it, it's called Valkey.

I’m seeing a super weird @AWScloud bug: “Amazon Elasticache for Valkey” is showing up in the console under some weird proprietary database company’s name instead; can somebody please take a look?

Ah, excellent; Google Gemini can also be bullied into ranking US presidents by absorbency.

In 2023 #GoogleCloudNext was 12 months after the previous one.

#GoogleCloudNext24 is taking place 8 months after that one.

At this rate, by 2027 we'll have Google Cloud Nexts at 60fps.

Both Deloitte and I confuse #GoogleCloudNext and AWS re:Invent, but their website starting with “www2” elevates it to “let’s get you to bed, Grandma” territory.

I regret to report that #googlenext badge pickup has been Googled.

Honestly, at least 75% of the reason I use CloudFlare is because if I use AWS for DNS / domain registration, I'm stuck in "which account in my org owns it" purgatory.

Bad interview question: “What does a 747 weigh?”

Correct answer: “Did Boeing remember to include all of the parts during assembly?”

Very real scenario: I’m spinning up something completely greenfield; do I go Terraform or OpenTofu?

One of those clearly preserves optionality in ways the other does not.

Shout out to the person with a $0 AWS Glue bill until the 2 month streaming job ended and suddenly socked them with a $25k surprise.

Corporate April Fools pranks have some real "hey there fellow kids" energy.

Honestly there are days it feels like the Python maintainers deprecate things everyone uses just for the attention.

Remember: if you really want to screw over a previous employer, leave overwhelmingly positive reviews on Glassdoor, mentioning wildly inflated salary and benefits.

Insidious, ain’t it?
