This is astonishing. The build (and deploy) systems are, by a considerable margin, the things I miss most about having left Amazon (CDO, not AWS, but still). What do you dislike about them?

Amazon (or, at least, my corner of it) still hadn't when I left ~9 months ago - and I'm glad of it. I've moved to a company where one of the core products (though, thankfully, not my team's) is in a monorepo, and from ev

When claims like this are made, I'm skeptical people have retrained their minds such that "press this combination of keys repeatedly until the cursor is where you want it to be" is easier and more accurate than "mentally

So, in other words, you want "longer lasting storage that can be searched even when the original goes down"? What's the difference between that and what you are imagining?

I mean, define "endorsement". Permitting something to exist when you have the power to do otherwise is a mild form of endorsement. A commitment to free speech is, to an extent, an endorsement of all the speech that results.

2 typos (ant -> any, mode -> more), with one of them repeated. Could arguably be called 2 or 3, depending on whether we're counting classes or instances.

Fair point re: package management - but Python does support single-line conditionals, and reasonably robust type-checking with mypy.

Given how relentlessly (just to pick a particular example) Epstein's crimes, accomplices, and associated have been publicized, and the negligible impact, why do you think that would be impactful?

A very reasonable perspective, thank you!

Genuine question - what is the lesson that you think should have been learned? I infer some (justifiable) dissatisfaction in your comment directed at the Pi Foundation's choice to target B2B - but, if that trend reverses and Pi boards

I suspect that you're not deploying with a CDK-defined Code Pipeline (starter article[0], in-depth example[1]), which makes cross account/region deployments so ludicrously smooth and simple that it often has newbies refuse to beli

Thank you for the valuable reminder that not everyone sees the world identically! To me, an avowed city lover, all of those things are essential to a high(or even medium!)-quality life - well, except "schooling, after-school activities

Haven't you heard? The era of expertise is over! Anyone's opinion is exactly as valuable as anyone else's - in fact, the opinion of someone who is not an expert is _more_ valuable than that of an expert!

I don't know for sure, but I suspect (in keeping with the fetishization of Latin that motivates many prescriptivist rules, like the injunction to never split an infinitive) that this arises from Ancient Greek[0], wherein there is not a
