After getting fired from ungrateful AWS after outage where my job was to vibecode all the DNS entries to IPv6, happy to announce it's my 1st day at Azure
Azure recognizes the value of vibecoding IPv6 DNS and I just force pushed my first 1m entries
Now off to grab some coffee

There was a time when strange incidents with services required digging through configs, source code and more to determine both what exactly happened.
Now I give the logs to Cursor or ChatGPT and ask for help. Review the response and either apply myself or ask for #pulumi update #devops

Not only has email been taken over by spam, at some point email started using formal language. Why would you open with Hi x?
Also people add a lot of blurb beneath the Hi x and then at some point when you gave up reading, they put important stuff.
There is a reason I tend to not respond to email.

Yes, some customers will flee AWS. Most however realise that it happens to all cloud providers and it happens when you serve on prem. For the world, it would be a good idea if services were more evenly distributed at different vendors and not just the big three either.
Considered the worst outage since last year’s CrowdStrike chaos, Amazon’s DNS issues led to some popular apps going dark, flights being delayed, and banks and financial services going offline temporarily.
Amazon’s DNS problem knocked out half the web, likely costing billions
Amazon’s outage is over. But backlash over billions in losses has just started.

AWS US-EAST-1 is down. A major AWS outage has taken down several popular services worldwide, including Signal, Fortnite, Alexa, Snapchat and many more. The specific cause of the service outage is currently unclear, according to AWS and they are working on fix.

This AWS US-EAST-1 issue causing all of AWS to be down is proof that running on a single cloud provider is not a good thing.
We are spreading out now, but unfortunately we still rely on AWS so we are down

Really good overview of the state of AI models. Well done, Ethan.
I wrote an updated guide on which AIs to use right now, & some tips on how to use them (and how to avoid falling into some common traps)
A lot has changed since I last wrote a guide like this in the spring, and AI has gotten much more useful as a result. open.substack.com/pub/oneusefu...

I am not sure if it thinks I'm a robot or if it is trying to make up its mind. I bleed so I think I am not a robot, but I don't really know. Maybe I'm an experimental model that was started this morning with fake memories.

After many attempts and lots of struggles, I finally managed to replace the rear shifter cable on my Cannondale Synapse. Unfortunately, now there is a 30 cm piece of cable housing inners inside my chainstay and around the bottom bracket. This doesn’t seem to affect shifting (yet)

This is so true. A lot of people have had bad experience with some AI and so dismiss all AI.
The truth is that there are powerful AI agents that are very capable now. We need to embrace them and use them for what they are good at while we need to stay focussed enough to verify and adjust the output.

I beg to object.
GUI is yet another shell.
Not a replacement for any TUI that may empoyers you, in some cases empowers you so much that you may kill your own system. GUI rarely would.
GUI make things possible that TUI never could. And this is also true the other way round.

Yes, if it's an Intel Mac, you can't update that's why I installed Ubuntu on my old Macbook Air, but an M-series Macbook? There are no downsides.

An AWS API Gateway can easily talk to a lambda that lives in a VPC.
An AWS API Gateway can't talk to an ALB that lives in a VPC.
There is a construct called VPC Link, but it only works with NLBs.
To make an AWS API Gateway work with an ALB in a VPC, I have to add an NLB and double the cost.
