  How can you own a developer? is it expensive to buy one?

    Don't get nitty about saying "my X". People say "my plumber" or "my hairstylist" or whatever all the time.

  If he actually knows how to crash Amazon, you have a new business opportunity, albeit not a very nice one...

  It'd be hilarious if you kept that impression going for the duration of the outage.

  Postmortem: unbounded auto-scaling of lambda combined with oversight on internal rate limits caused unforseen internal ddos.

    Just wait for the medium article “How I ran up a $400 million AWS bill.”

      "On how I learned 'recursion'"

        I asked my friend who's a senior dev if he ever uses recursion at work. He said whenever he sees recursion in a code review, he tells the junior dev to knock it off.

    He created a lambda function that spawned more lambda functions and the rest is history
