Passed AWS certified Cloud Practitioner exam with 881/1000 score. @awscloud @awsdevelopers @AWSCloudIndia huge credits go to AI for preparing my exam materials 🙌

@pareekhjain better pitch VCs for ai startup than companies laying-off for ai.

Heard few senior IT folks are underreporting their experience in initial screening to get interview calls from recruiters/ job portals and then are open to taking offers at lower salaries. Brutal IT job market in India.

@tpschmidt_ whats use of cost explore api if you can’t implement simple lambda + sns for daily cost alert and wait for 48 hours 🤡🤡🤡

$97,000 AWS bill in 48 hours. Hacked account, Bedrock API, ~2 million tokens per minute. I guess long-lived access keys made it possible! 🔓 Here's what actually protects you: 1. 𝗗𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗸𝗲𝘆𝘀

@devXritesh 22 years+ experience here and we seen internet since late 90s. this time is not much different than early google days. if you resist you will screw. go with flow and accept the change.

If you think, you can't be replaced..... Think again literally 18 years of experience and 12 members of team with 2 prompter.

@javarevisited relational vs nosql — its not json vs non-json 🥴🥴🥴

Interviewer: If PostgreSQL supports JSON, why would anyone choose a NoSQL database?

@brian_armstrong aws released cloud agents last week. use them and layoff whole staff 🥴🥴🥴😂😂😂

We experienced an outage at Coinbase last night, which is never acceptable. The root cause was a room overheating in an AWS datacenter when multiple chillers failed. We design our services to be redundant to downtime in any one AWS Availability Zone (AZ), and most of our systems worked this way last night, but not all. Our centralized exchange did not. Exchanges have unique architectures that optimize for latency and co-location of clients. It is possible to make exchanges resistant to AZ failures, but this can introduce latency delays that are not desirable along with breaking customer co-location. Given this incident, we'll revisit these tradeoffs to ensure we're giving you the best possible venue to trade. At a minimum, the duration of an outage should be able to be reduced considerably when an AZ move is needed. Thank you to the AWS and Coinbase teams for working through the night to mitigate the issue. We’ll share the detailed technical summary once it's ready.

@sama but but but what about it coolies companies getting paid on hourly rate for it bodyshops 💀💀💀😂😂😂

way cooler to help software developers pokemon-evolve into superheroes than to try to replace them it is insane what one really good person can do now

@naviddkhan @stats_feed in those 3% there are many agents in pakistan 😂😂😂

@stats_feed 3% pajeets are like billions already, they are shitting on street world wide, stealing from shops, polluting rivers. Imagine 3% is doing that. No wonder the remaining 97% destroying what they can find in border. Look at the rivers amd roads there.... Subhuman species

@moshhamedani i also heard non tech hackers doing RCE and hacked many wordpress and how ai non tech builders will save the world 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

CEO of Coinbase bragging that non-technical people are now using AI to ship production code. When a CEO says this, one of two things is true: either they don't know what production code is, or they're selling you a story. This kind of hype is how businesses end up in real trouble. The people shipping the code and the CEOs cheering them on won't be the ones held responsible when it breaks. They collect their paycheck either way. Users will find out the hard way, once unreviewed code has touched their money, medical records, identities, private messages, kids' data, legal documents, critical infrastructure. By then it's too late. Production code isn't a vibe.

@stats_feed me in that 97% 😂😂😂 but happy that my camera model nikon d5 is famous for traveling outside earth 🌍 and capturing the far side of moon 

@ecommerceshares they occupied by mulla party association 😂😂😂

Why has Europe decided to completely stay out of artificial intelligence race? Serious question. They’re not even trying. I really don’t get it.

@claudeai @AnthropicAI @SpaceX they will put grok into space ai dara crnters and then pull your plug 🥴🥴🥴💀💀💀

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

@Saboo_Shubham_ then? hoe the do sales?

@housecor i coded same app for aws 🥴

I used to Google for bash commands. Now I just tell AI to do it.

@AJamesMcCarthy @elonmusk that too with non nikon mirroless where autofocus is top notch 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Mark my words, I will take a photo like this in my lifetime. You might, too.

System Design Round at Anthropic: You are running an LLM in production that costs $0.40 per query. At 100,000 queries a day that is $40,000 a day. You check your logs and find 60,000 of those queries are users asking slight variations of the same 200 questions. Your model is generating a fresh answer every single time. How do you cut your inference cost by 60% without the user ever feeling like they got a cached or stale response?

@santtiagom_ loosely coupled architecture + cloud 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️

how to scale an app from zero to millions of users

@steipete @sama whats backend for this? expressjs streaming or python async io?

brb calling @sama

@romaindewolff many non tech vibe code builders will experience this in their lifetime but loss in millions not thousands.

I almost killed my company on Friday. $90,000. One Azure bill. Gone. Let me tell you what happened because I think founders need to hear this. We built an amazing document intelligence system at Whisperit. It analyzes our customers' files: PDFs, Word docs, scanned documents, using OCR. It works beautifully and user love it. But we had a bug. A small email with a zip file. Inside the zip, a PDF. Some weird edge case that created an infinite loop in our code. The virtual machine would crash, restart, and try to reprocess the same document. Again. And again. And again. We pay more than one cent per page processed. You can imagine what happened next. I saw the graph and my stomach dropped. An exponential spike. The kind of curve you want to see on your revenue chart (!!) not your cloud bill. The forecast for next month said $400,000+. I thought: this must be a mistake. Emergency 🚨. Check everything. It wasn't a mistake. The worst part? We had a warning. Back in November we had a $25K unusual spike. We fixed it. Added upload limits. I thought we were safe. But I never set a spending cap on Azure. Never set up alerts for unusual usage. I knew I should. I just didn't do it. I went through every stage: Denial → "this can't be right" Anger → screaming at myself Shame → feeling small, really small Tears → first time in a long time I cried that evening. Not because of the money, because I imagined having to close Whisperit. My team. Everything we built. Gone because of one missing setting and my stupidity. The week had been incredible. New version shipping. Lots of new users. Sales going well. Migration going well. Growing the team responsibly. And then Friday hit like a truck. Remember my last post about mistakes? Yeah. We're still making them. Bigger ones. $90,000 is the price of a NICE car. Paid for a bug and a missing checkbox. Here's what I'm doing RIGHT NOW so this never happens again: 1. Hard spending limits on every cloud service — no exceptions 2. Alerts at 50%, 80%, 100% of expected spend 3. Circuit breakers in our processing pipeline — if a document fails 3 times, it stops 4. Weekly cloud cost review — not monthly, weekly 5. Every API endpoint gets a budget ceiling If you're a founder reading this: Go set your spending limits. Today. Right now. Before your next meeting. Before your next coffee. It takes 10 minutes and it could save your company. We move fast. That's our superpower. But speed without guardrails is a bomb with a timer. I know what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I really hope this one doesn't kill me. Still standing. Barely. Building. 🚀

@sweatystartup to me it looks like ai models companies will now deliberately put guardrails not to perform better than coders to save software industry

All the AI hype I’ve yet to see a single person actually show me how they are replacing employees with AI. Show me!!!!!!
