I really like AI Support Chatbots these days; it makes the internet feel like the 90s again.

Lovely weekend activity 😍
Got to meet @skorfmann.com @sbstjn.com @coma.social @tobilg.com in person. 5 stars, highly recommended, would do again. 👍

Today is a good day; we do an internal AWS GameDay to explore potential Fargate and RDS failure scenarios. This is so much fun 🤩 The AWS Fault Injection Service is just awesome.
A Reddit post by user Throwawayainteasy: I get exhausted trying to explain this stuff to people who fundamentally don't understand pure scientific research. It's mostly not profitable, at least in the short-term. Some of the most important scientific breakthroughs are things that we won't really understand the value of until 10-20 years from now or more. Possibly generations. That's just the nature of science. It can even be true for the seemingly mundane stuff. In the 60s someone gets curious how flies can get around so well with such tiny brains, that answer turns into new understandings, those understandings merge with new computing, and in the 2020s we have autonomous drones and self driving cars who's existence is rooted all the way back to someone's unheralded research that started because they thought bugs were neat. No for-profit company would fund the first 20 steps in that process, because there's no clear path to profitability until the end. That's why governments across the world are the primary funders of pure research.
In case anyone was wondering why the government was so heavily invested in scientific research (pre-DOGE) here is a clear explanation from one of the workers on the chopping block:
“It is a coup, executed not with guns, but with backend migrations and database wipes.”
We face “a dangerous alignment of anti-democratic thought with immense technological and financial resources.”

Introducing (new) technology requires awareness of long term effects and a plan how to deal with those that you can foresee. Review to incorporate future learnings.
You can't please or argue with people who have no grace, who know no shame, whose only currency is outrage.
Call them out on their bullshit, name it clearly. Do not apologize for it. Do not expect apologies. They want to wear us down.
We must not yield.
*WE* are what's on the line. All of us.

Ouh, finally 😍
You can connect to AWS AppSync Events via a plain WebSocket without additional libraries. Had some fun with Cognito here as well - sbstjn.com/blog/aws-cdk... #awscdk

When your #AWS Fargate service is not running, use automated Route 53 failover and serve static content via CloudFront and S3 using @cdk.dev #awscdk
Thanks 🙌 IMHO, yes. Pushing to the ECR container registry should trigger a new deployment of that container. ECR and Fargate tasks integrate quite okay-ish. Guide on that will follow ;)
In general, I like to handle it like this: sbstjn.com/blog/event-d...
