I interpreted the OP's statement as the literal breakdown of law and order. As in "Neat law your side created, but I'm not following it." The cracks are forming in things as simple as traffic laws. Tons of egregious, sel

There is a certain ceremony involved with choosing and playing vinyl that cannot be recreated with digital media. That, to me, is the magic. In modern times a full digital setup is going to provide a more "faithful recreation" tha

Is there a PaaS out there that enables some guardrails? An example would be "we only want to use Fargate, don't manually provision EC2" and that option just doesn't show up as something you can self-serve.
