As I continue to teach my AWS Certification Webinars over at O'Reilly, I grow closer and closer to completely appreciating AWS; but as my students ask me questions, the more confident I am that if I ever meet the person there who names services, I am giving them a wedgie.

Inside you there are two wolves:
- fitness wolf
- AWS wolf
They fight eternally about whether you must do undifferentiated heavy lifting.

Absolutely incredible piece about a font you've seen everywhere:
I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime.
This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today.

Alright after having done some more work with DSQL - the lack of foreign key constraints doesn't hurt much. I built a small "read-it-later" type clone and the worst annoyance was not being able to use psycopg3

LLM's generating tests seems fundamentally backwards, and doomed to create iterations of the "QA orders -1 beers, 99999 beers, etc. Customer asks where the bathroom is and the bar catches fire" joke.
If we're going to have (or already do, if GH Copilot is writing 50% of the code checked in) 1/n

Calling them "skeets" is a perfect name to prevent overseriousness. It's an epistemic crime that we had to seriously say "soandso tweeted (rest of quote)..."
Well try to say "soandso skeeted..." and retain Serious Person Voice.
