@ThePrimeagen @thdxr Accelerating the ability for enterprises to make bad decisions, doesn't, unfortunately, necessitate they'll be able to learn from them. Copilot and its ilk are going to make corporate software governance implode. Devs pushing out code is almost never the true constraint.

@thdxr We all laughed about how Cobol is still used a bunch, soap still is out there, Java 1.8 is still kicking, and then immediately have amnesia and think the corporate/gov world will just turn on a dime

the problem with all of these predictions is none of these people seem to have seen what the inside of enterprise organizations look like you can give them literal god powers and nothing would change the problem is elsewhere

@heitor_lessa There's still a few of us down in Perth, if you're ever down this way again :)

so where are the cool kids these days from the Serverless community, Wardley map, and whatnot? Had a superb life change in the last 7-8 months; time to reconnect again (hopefully outside X)

@theo Have you tried @readwise? Couldn't imagine going back to pocket at this point to be honest

Pocket got removed from the Chrome Web Store??? I legit can not live like this. I have been considering building my own for years now. Is it time?

@businessbarista @HeyGen_Official @elevenlabs Surely it's called an AIvatar?

Just created my first AI avatar. Bunch of use cases i'm thinking about: - Sales demos - Easter eggs with current customers - Short-form video content Visual via @HeyGen_Official Audio via @elevenlabs On a scale of cringe to wow, where are we sitting?

@stephsmithio When I've worked in commodity spaces, like the utility sector, I've seen these things be actively rewarded. The mantra for the business was "reducing cost to serve" and taking cost out as a consultant was the only messaging that resonated.

In most jobs, there is no incentive to do more with less. You’re not rewarded for coming in under budget. You’re not rewarded for having a smaller team or not requesting headcount next year. You’re not rewarded for automating or outsourcing. Why is this?

@yordisprieto Agreed! Doing event sourcing makes a fundamental change, going from a complex space to a complicated one, as per Cynefin. Much of the resistance is from this, as it's fundamentally different.

It wasn't until I stopped focusing on things that only led to "It Depends" that I unlocked the power of Event Sourcing

@RDarrylR Eventbridge is the nervous system for your AWS estate, it's insane how many people are running estates completely numb.

Using an event-driven architecture for important events in your AWS account will ensure the people who need to know about these events get notified right away. With AWS, the Eventbridge service is key for keeping up to date with any changes in your account. You can setup Eventbridge rules to call a service when events occur matching whatever criteria you want. This article from Ciara-Cloud shows how you can do this with the Simple Notification Service (SNS) and AWS Chatbot using its integrations with Slack to get notifications.

@jeremy_daly *broding

I’m not here for the bro coding.

@ThePrimeagen The problem with recursion is that you keep having to come back to it

i love hearing about people who you consider to be great coders who struggled to learn coding i still consider recursion to be the hardest thing i have ever learned

@TheJackForge Something I took from an old colleague, make sure you test for the ability to teach and to be taught as part of the hiring funnel. The best teams I've been on have been built with these abilities. I don't have time for people who won't try to learn no matter how experienced.

@mattgillard @GnellAimee $1,200

@GnellAimee It’s wot

My actual reaction to the $1200 PS5 pro

There are some absolute bangers in the latest @humble bundle. 37 dollarbucks is a steal.

@richdevelops Regarding product development, @t3dotgg got to me when he boiled it down to whether you are competing in the frontend or backend. For many things, touching the AWS console means you're over-engineering. @vercel and @Netlify are redefining what serverless is.

@mikejulian @astuyve +1 on granted, Chris, Fraser and the team do amazing work

@astuyve We used to use it a lot but switched to Granted a couple years ago. Feels like a massive upgrade in UX!

FYI: If you're new to interacting with multiple AWS accounts, aws-vault is (still) one of the easiest ways to manage CLI access. It works great with SSO as well: github.com/99designs/aws-…

@mattgillard @donkersgood Surely with the 4,500 developer years GenAI saved them, they could spare a few for this

@donkersgood Too busy with GenAI perhaps

I find it very frustrating that IPv4 on AWS costs big $$$ (NAT and IP addresses), but building an IPv6-only VPC is practically impossible. Especially because it's AWS service endpoints that require IPv4. #awswishlist: native IPv6 support for all AWS services - lead by example!

@calvinochieng_ It's very early days, but as someone whose react code is a sadist's wet dream, it was very welcome to build something that looks and feels modern.

If you've used HTMX, raise your hands How was your experience?

@ben11kehoe @theburningmonk There are more levels on top of this as well. I went down a rabbit hole of trying to prove only a specific Lambda function could access a particular object in S3: @josh.armitage/encryption-as-proofs-c23107b7a191" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@josh.armitage…

@theburningmonk With SSE-KMS, you add an additional I AM control, you have to have both s3:GetObject and kms:Decrypt to get the data. If you call GetObject without the KMS permission, you don't get the encrypted data, you get access denied. It doesn't really protect you in the way you describe

Here's your regular reminder that your job is not done, even if S3 now encrypts objects by default. TL;DR - you should still use SSE-KMS with a CMK to avoid data exposure in the event they're made public by accident. theburningmonk.com/2023/01/yes-s3…

@nathangloverAUS How are you calculating vo2?

I set myself the goal of getting out of the red VO2 max by the end of the year and I’m really pleased to get there early. Now to get to green!

@spadjay At least the grammar is better, not much else has changed

Slowly but surely, LinkedIn is now in that uncanny valley where chatgpt is commenting on posts written by chatgpt. A beautiful cacophony of grammatically perfect, completely braindead takes.
