Managed to build an early warning system based on IAC changes inside CI systems within a Platform as a Product space today using Claude. This took less time to build than reviewing and deploying the change.

I can't work out if the Amazon Customer Service is a Bot or not. Who needs Connections when you could find gems around sentiment like this.

I do appreciate that you own your role, you're Boris Tane EM, not any of this ex-bollocks.

There's caveats with the Pause/Resume feature in Aurora RDS (aws.amazon.com/blogs/databa...), it's not the low effort 0 ACU some may expect, I think it's better but reading this I'm sure support will see some tickets. Now to find if there's an API to trigger a pause at the end of known events.

Please tell me it's a rebranded Surface TV and this is a long play to prank the AWS FireTV / thin client.

Is it wrong to buy a domain just for the custom handle?

I think the alluded Trump Visit is spot on, I would happily bet he just happens to be in London for Wrestlemania '25, marking his long awaited return to the squared circle.

Hey new people and people I know from Twitter, welcome! What brings you here?

In case you're interested, here's a Starter Pack of journalists who work on climate, energy, and the environment.

Bluesky is also more useful if you follow some Feeds. I have some suggestions. 🧡

I have started a starter pack... all the posters I could find who are Irish, based in Ireland or posting about Irish stuff. Maybe a vain attempt to recreate some of the buzz of Irish 'other site'.

It's not meant to be exclusive! Let me know if you want to be added!

To the folks creating and sharing starter packs, you're the real MVP.
