Ah! OK, now "dark magic" I can totally understand. Pipelines _is_ a little opaque, which is a totally fair criticism. In my experience it does _most_ of the things that you would want if you know a few fairly common (and easily se

Yeah, comparatively, I find Github's process to be bizarre. Why do I have to fork a repo just to propose a change to it? Why does my "Pull Request" (really it's a Push Request, but it's called a Pull Request because

I left Amazon in June of this year, in a similar-ish position to the author. I didn't have anywhere near that level of problems with the internal tooling[0], my frustrations were more related to seeing poor product prioritization decis

Hi, recently ex-Amazonian here. It very much varies team-to-team. I was both careful and lucky enough to always be on teams where work-life balance was actively prioritized, with managers literally telling people to take more PTO, ensuring

This is really baffling to me. In fact, since leaving Amazon in June, I've been really frustrated by how much extra work setting up a CI/CD pipeline is in (say) Drone and Argo/Flux than with Amazon's internal tooling. Yo

We are arguing past each other. I 100% agree that electronic records require active upkeep. I am not arguing, nor have I ever argued, that they can outlast a discontinuity of civilization. If your threat model is addressing that risk, then

Counterpoint - mindfully reviewing and examining your thoughts and speech is an effective way to improve clarity and to identify unexamined (and perhaps unfounded) assumptions.

This is the first time I've heard of the word "jangle" existing independently of the onomatopoeiac phrase "jingle jangle"! That said, I definitely agree that this is an ironically-poor choice of name due the lack of

Interesting! Technically I guess a lot of that is possible with raw CDK (centralized logging would be, for instance, if you created appropriate roles for each of the managed accounts), but it never hurts to have it done for you automaticall

A counterpoint is that verifiably-perfect duplication of data (and non-invasive integrity checking of backups) with our current methods is orders-of-magnitude easier than older ones. Sure, any _particular_ modern-day record has a shorter sh

I've worked on plenty of multi-account projects, and never felt a need to use Organizations. So far as I can tell from this, it allows you to attach permissions to roles in multiple sub-accounts - why wouldn't you be able to use C

Neat idea! Anecdotally, though, I got 4/6 while knowing nothing about Haskell just by meta-analysis - a type signature including a "Foldable" term is most likely to relate to a method with "Fold" in the name :)

Right, yes - sorry, I should have clarified that I didn't mean "tear down then set up", but rather "set up (new), cut over, then tear down (old)". But still - the service should be "created from scratch"!

by scubbo 4y ago
Right, which is why you set up the new versions of the service _first_ and cutover to them before tearing down.

Sort-of a nitpick, but for stateless services that's _precisely_ what you want to happen!

Do you always feel a need to apologize when indulging in something that makes you feel better? Why is it that you feel you're not entitled to do something selfish that makes you feel better and doesn't hurt anyone else?

Huh. That's almost the opposite of what I understood - "new incremental hires" sounds like active recruiting, but I could see "passive recruiting" falling outside that heading. Who knows? It's HR PR, it means w
