I'm ready to call it - the Pre:Invent '25 season has (un)officially started with the release of ECS Managed Instances. To keep track of the deluge of releases coming our way, I've added the Pre:Invent '25 feed to AWS News. Go take a look and subscribe with email or RSS 👉 buff.ly/2QPW0Ha

On hindsight, grifting a generation of web developers into believing html is somehow hard or bad was the least problematic thing about this guy

Such good wine! I was pleasantly surprised when I visited; they don't export the good stuff to Canada.

Love how they frame as preventative in the case of a supply chain attack (and with their own actions basically enact a supply chain attack). Gotta appreciate the irony?

That's in the ballpark of 10B in revenue. Perhaps the maintainers need to consider licensing that disincentives these shenanigans and fully funds the maintenance and infra. 5M a year would be sufficient.

A paltry 0.05% of revenue!
