I'm sorry but you honestly have no idea of what you are talking about. The tooling in Amazon is developed by hundreds of engineers and it doesn't suck because of small bugs here and there but rather because of systemic issues related to how it's been architected. It's not something that is fixable at all, let alone by a lone engineer. That said, I also want to be more tempered than the author, I don't find the tooling to be that bad. Most teams are on full Native AWS now and the few non-native tools actually do make your life easier because of how well they're integrated in the whole Amazon ecosystem. Some tooling does suck, but it's more like 2% of my time spent fighting bad tools, not 40%.
