This is an interesting way to do password management. But I definitely wouldn't describe this as "simple" or "minimal". You're using passage, Syncthing, restic, git, physical Yubikey, SD card, and don't ha

1Password is my personal choice. I can easily share passwords with my family and create separate vaults. There's a nice migration guide here: https://support.1password.com/import-lastpass/

Good luck convincing your company "Hey because they were 45 minutes late in informing us we need to move all our cloud to a different provider." Updating a dashboard can easily be an automated process but for business reasons it i

They do though! They can easily disable features like Autopilot, Autopark, Summon, etc fleetwide in a snap if they wanted to.

You don't interview to get "programming experience". You're interviewing to get a job. Definitely not a win.

AWS support has historically been pretty good about removing these charges. Just be careful next time. I racked up a $8k AWS bill for my university when I was leading a club. A few emails to AWS support and it was all resolved. Although the

Where would this be useful? I am not trying to bring the article down but I'm genuinely interested in knowing where/how people would use this. It seems like just locally modifying a payload would be more efficient?

I'm surprised you say the Apple ecosystem is terrible. It's arguably the best, most complete and integrated ecosystem out there currently. Of course it's not going to work well with Windows. Apple wants you to buy a Mac.

Exactly this. I was too young at the time to grasp this idea.

I can't say in risk of violating some NDA but a lot of it is internal stuff that customers will never even be aware of or it would require too much effort for them to break. There are times when bad deployments happen and customers wer

I can safely say that the team members working in DynamoDB are very skilled and they care deeply about the product. They really work hard and think of interesting solutions to a lot of problems that their biggest customers face which is gre

Some people just want a paycheck with low minimal work required. I worked at a FAANG and I can guarantee you that many people do not care much about growth and development. A lot are just there for big pay and less work.

I used to work at Amazon. The internal processes are absolutely horrible for employees in almost every aspect (tech, HR, recruiting, etc). Looks like not much has changed.

Why would they need AWS to do so? Engineers in companies don't know every line of code in their product - many of them are siloed in their own teams. A team can easily just dedicate an hour or two a week and do their own bug bash, righ

Sounds like free training for AWS CodeGuru. And the rewards aren't that great. What's the incentive for people to actually do this?

I didn't reveal my team to maintain some form of anonymity. If you're an L8 or above then you may have some power to do what you said. Otherwise I don't think it'll make a difference.

If you're brand new to the industry I'd say stay for at least 2 years. I worked on a service which operates an enormous scale and while I'm thankful for the opportunity it takes several months to ramp up (I'd say about 6

Totally agree. My experience is my own and definitely not reflective of everyone else who works at Amazon. They employ tens of thousands of engineers and many of them are happy. I just wanted to share my story - not trying to generalize thi

I think one thing I learned from AWS is that there's so much hidden away from the customer. There definitely were (and probably still are) many issues which the customers won't actively experience. Reliability doesn't necessa
