People are out here reinventing the Minnesota State Fair
The more I think about this the madder I get
I wish I could document all my uncaught exceptions instead of fixing them
Between this and not always returning valid XML from the API, feels like S3 sometimes just documents their bugs and moves on
Amazon S3 returns a 500 error when you've done a particular thing wrong
This...this is not what 500 is for
Has this not been obvious before?
I am a pseudo person myself, but "su" can be ess you, so it seems like a defensible position
ugh I did not need this information
To be honest I think @adamhjk.me and www.systeminit.com would probably handle this in a reasonable way
And let us not speak of the people who pronounce "numpy" to rhyme with "bumpy"
If you want people to pronounce it that way, you need a logo of a Python dressed as a detective. Py, PI 🕵️
I'll say it: pizza orders have a lifecycle not fully under the control of the order creator, and are a bad match for IaC. Your Domino's Rewards account would probably be better
I am a lot closer to the usual tapings now, I'm hoping to snag a seat to one at some point
This is AWESOME!!
EventBridge now delivers events to cross-account targets directly without having to send them to the default bus in the target account first.

I just wanna triple down on saying: push to create environments in your work where people feel okay saying "I don't know" or "I'm not aware of [...]"
So much time is wasted on egos and optics to know everything that could otherwise be used to identify gaps and next steps.
Get out of that trap.
The only (unique) good thing about Chime, but it's a really good one.
YOUR COMPANY CULTURE IS NOT WORDS ON YOUR WEBSITE OR POSTERS ON THE WALL. IT'S HOW YOUR PEOPLE FEEL ON A SUNDAY NIGHT.
Truth.
Bored Ape #9291. A brown-furred ape, wearing a slouchy orange beanie and black t-shirt, has its mouth open in a sort of smile. There are red laser beams shooting out of (or perhaps into) its eyes.
all this time i thought the lasers were going in the other direction
I'm not sure anything conjures up a feeling of exhaustion in me thew way the phrase "a bunch of Discords" does
every day we drift further from gods light
As someone smarter than me said, there are two takes on Elon Musk: one is that he's Henry Ford, and the other is that he's Henry Ford.
It just depends on what you actually know about Henry Ford.
The rich are engineering an existence only for themselves and largely don't really realize it I think
Yep. I think a lot about "pinch" the concept I first learned from mobile game design that by making something inconvenient, you can charge people to make that inconvenience go away. And once you learn to spot pinch in all aspects of society, you can't unsee it.
Oooohhh these are some great additions to AWS Step Functions:
- Custom error messages in fail states
- JitterStrategy for retries (!)
- MaxDelaySeconds for retries
Not ready to implement Zero Trust, so we’ve decided on a security posture based on “Two Truths and a Lie”
it'd be cool to nationalize basically everything Musk owns
Some news: next year I'll be starting a job at Siemens Digital Industries in Erlangen, Germany! Looking forward to many interesting challenges to bring the serverless mindset to. And I'm going to be an EMEA Hero!
When people are nostalgic about Ye Olde Internette and wonder why we can't recapture that, this is why: the old internet was atomized **and that was good, actually**. But no one's gonna become a billionaire off of 3 million different self-hosted niche interest phpBB sites so here we are.
I don’t think it can be emphasized enough that large language models were never intended to do math or know facts; literally all they do is attempt to sound like the text they’re given, which may or may not include math or facts. They don’t do logic or fact checking — they’re just not built for that
