If a GUI wrapper around curl has the courage to host a conf, you can make your side projects public

🎉 You can now connect to EC2 instances inside VPCs without the need for a public IP address.

🧐 Will this finally replace the Bastion hosts that were only used as middlemen to access EC2 instances?

Noticed twice in less than 24 hours that my @Twitter feed has changed back to the "For You" black hole of 💩 since the UI change.

That's the final straw.

Not going to bother with the mastodon BS either.

You can find me on LinkedIn for anyone that cares (same handle)

Ciao! 👋

[Sam Lock @Serverless_Sam]

Ahh yes finally the toxic "for you" feed is now forced upon us. I can't wait to use a feed where only 10% of the content is from people I follow. The other 90% coming from accounts playing Twitters algorithm 🤬

@florinpop17 *their* IDE and *their* OS are the best choices

@PrasoonPratham I'm a backend dev so forgive me if I sound stupid �� can you not just use React? All you write is Typescript the whole time right?

Pushing back starting a new FT contract by 2 weeks to get some personal R&D done 🥺

Working out of public libraries like I did when I started this #ServerlessSam adventure 4 years ago 🥹

Funny how life can go full circle!

[Sam Lock @Serverless_Sam]

Haha. Yeah 🥹 #opensource

First thing you're doing when you get paid this month?

So if you accidentally put a comma after assigning a value to a string var, Python makes it a tuple. Don't ask me how long I spent figuring that out 🙃

@gilligan128 @thdxr Can you elaborate on network failures and latency? Is the layer not loaded into the lambda env when it is first initialized?

[Sam Lock @Serverless_Sam]

@adamdotdev Constant pressure to keep up in a fast-developing world. There aren't many other domains where the way you work is obsolete/dated in 5 years time

[Sam Lock @Serverless_Sam]

Say it with me: e̶a̶t̶, sleep, work on open-source, repeat

@weldrake13 @reillyusa He's figuring out where to aim his next shot on Angry Birds

@theburningmonk Serverless Framework with correct references.

I'm aware a lambda/dynamodb/SQS setup may have different experiences here to ECS/RDS. I hope I find out on your course 😉

@theburningmonk 2) Green DB stack: Should be straightforward assuming the networking is correct, see step 1. Has a very slow turnaround time (especially RDS) so it's important this gets green with minimal attempts.

3) Green compute stack: leverage tools etc SAM, (6/7)
