Today's a fantastic day to make no configuration changes to your production environments. If something goes wonky, you'll go mad trying to figure out if it's the AWS issue (possibly reflected through a vendor of yours who uses them) vs. your own shitty, shitty code.

The goals and scope are largely unchanged, but we’ve brought it up-to-date with technology changes that have happened over the last decade (eg cloud-native architectures, systems for AI) and restructured some things to make the explanations clearer

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.

There are three major post-SARS-CoV-2 biomarker shifts that indicate a transition to long-term immune dysfunction.
1) acute viremia to persistent viral proteins
2) cytokine storm to chronic endothelial damage,
3) emergency immune activation to chronic immune dysregulation.

Reading old performance reviews and came across a line - “Dare thinks being correct is more important than convincing people” which at the time struck me as absurd as what’s more important than being right?
Over time I learned if you can’t change what work happens then being correct doesn’t matter.

A big difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans understand the science of political communication. Republicans dictate the topics/terms of debate while Dems (and the left) usually burn energy in constant response.

SARS-CoV-2 disables MAVS signaling and OXPHOS, triggering a bioenergetic collapse that forces cells into inefficient glycolysis.
This mitochondrial failure may underlie ME/CFS-like symptoms seen in many with Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC).

Let me take you on a visual introduction to what big O notation is in my new blog post: samwho.dev/big-o.
With big O notation you can better understand how algorithms will perform in practice, finding orders of magnitude improvements often with very simple changes to your code.

Building an application that can run in a container is a very common approach. You go for a full container orchestration setup like Kubernetes or you go much simpler. One straightforward approach on AWS uses the Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Fargate compute. (1️⃣/3️⃣)

Google Gemini’s head of product says PMs are ditching PRDs for vibe coding prototypes.
But PRDs define what you’re building and why, priorities, success metrics and its features while prototypes only show its features.
Skipping these is risky as teams may ship without clarity on goals or tradeoffs
