I've felt the exact same way after working (consulting) for mostly very large companies. I'd love to do a startup at some point in my career and sometime I have FOMO on that experience. The grass is always greener.

I would not say putting a CloudFront in front of Lambda is a good practice anyway. It highly depends on your use cases (load, frequency of data changes, etc). In general, I probably lean the other way and use a CloudFront only when necess

Correct, it does have an e-ink display and I find it to be very limiting (beyond what's necessary to break bad smartphone habits).

Yeah, same in USA in regards to most people using real estate agents. But lots of people are sending letters right now due to the supply shortage. This is a more convenient way to do it. a) you can do it entirely from your computer b) you
