😱How to lose data using AWS serverless without even knowing it

[Rob Eisenberg @EisenbergEffect]

TBH one of my bigger fears around AI is that it will lock in the median of today’s practices and quietly turn it into tomorrow’s “best practice.”

When a model is trained on the whole internet, it doesn’t learn the right way. It learns what’s most common, and the most common code and architecture patterns out there are…mixed at best. The model’s incentives reward likely and familiar, not better or novel, so it becomes a kind of gravity well that pulls teams back toward whatever already dominates the training mix.

And then there’s the feedback loop: AI-generated output gets shipped, copied into docs, pasted into blogs, merged into repos, and fed back into the next generation of training. That doesn’t just preserve the mess, it can compound it, creating a self-reinforcing layer of confidently explained mediocrity.

The scariest part is that real progress often starts out-of-distribution. New paradigms, emerging best practices, and the hard-won lessons from great teams are underrepresented, so they get drowned out by the volume of the average or even the sub-par. If AI becomes the default author/reviewer/teacher, we might get faster at producing more of what we already do and slower at evolving what “good” looks like.

If we’re not careful, we’ll end up with an industry that can autocomplete the past perfectly while struggling to invent the future.

I applaud Remix 3 for swinging the spotlight back to the Web Platform. If last week’s reveal showed anything, it’s how defaults, docs, and incentives can fence off core browser knowledge.

Framework-first norms didn’t mean to, but they *did* turn basics into trivia. So, the surprise around things like CustomEvent or listening on a parent to handle child interactions tells a story: the community has been standing next to power it wasn't taught to use.

Facts:

* CustomEvent has been baseline across modern browsers since 2015 (~10 years).
* Event delegation (via bubbling/capturing) is part of the DOM event model standardized in 2000 and used since the late ’90s (~25+ years).

This isn’t an anti-framework post; it’s anti-amnesia.

Reach for what ships in the box: addEventListener + delegation, CustomEvent, FormData, URLSearchParams, <template>, fetch, AbortController/signal, MutationObserver, IntersectionObserver, and more.

Remix 3 reminding people of this is a gift.

Don’t let anyone tell you the browser can’t do something. Try it yourself and see. The gate isn’t locked; it’s just been draped in velvet ropes and a “staff only” sign.

Walk through.

Use the platform first; add libraries when they clearly earn their keep.

Kudos to the @remix_run team for cracking the window and letting light back in. The web is strong medicine. Take it neat.

AWS finally recognizes that remote debugging is essential for fast serverless development. 💪

Here’s why this is great news for Lambda Live Debugger — which remains the most flexible and powerful tool for serverless debugging.

NEW: Lambda adds remote debugging via a VS Code integration.

You can now set breakpoints in live lambda functions and debug them straight in your editor!

Oh, I'm not holding my breath for anything like that. 🤣

Full disclosure:

I don't see myself using Remix 3, whatever it is, because I've got my own full stack, standards-based framework based on 20+ years of experience building server and client apps. (I'm trying to find a way to open source it, as I do think a lot of people would be interested, but I need to figure out the "funding" problem first.)

That said...

I am pretty exhausted, as a consultant and engineering leader, coming into companies where they have adopted various trendy JavaScript solutions, only to create a real disaster. Sure, I get paid very well to dig companies out of those holes, but I'd really rather not have to do that. There are so many more interesting things to focus on.

[Rob Eisenberg @EisenbergEffect]

Once again, I feel compelled to state what I thought was obvious:

There is no one size fits all software architecture.

Stop trying to build it.

Your job as an engineer/architect is to deeply understand the specific problem at hand and then work towards the best fit solution.
