Hey @MarkLeibovich, the kindle edition formatting of TYFYS is completely messed up. There’s no real way to get in touch with Amazon but flip through ch 7/8/9. Multiple devices and whole sentences are missing.

@AGoldmund @ThatDaveBrown There is some irony that a prime feature of oped writing is an inattentive tribalism, and the same is used here to conflate your identity with your industry.

Anyone from #AWS wafv2 team around and could maybe explain why the same API call from the console seems to work but not through the API directly? https://t.co/JVjVPTo71p Perhaps some eventual consistency issue?

@Metrorailinfo @EdwardRyder I love the same guy I think! Wednesday morning, 9:30 am near Pentagon city on YL. What an excellent way to get around the city.

@CloudKickOff @QuinnyPig "[Cloud Provider]'s solution doesn't work [beyond a certain scale | in specific situations]" is such a tired click bait. @QuinnyPig craftily couches his argument behind an aspirational quote from @Werner; but doing so is more crafty than it is earnest.

@jbrodley Who make dat app?

[Derek Helmick @derekhelmick]

EKS Fargate FluentBit container is brilliant. Troubleshooting misconfiguration is another story.

@CloudKickOff Me: RTO/RPO?

@gotoplanb @alanlepo You're a god damned genius.

@gotoplanb @alanlepo Heh, if clients can insist we perfect two logging solutions for their cluster, why the hell not bust out both datadog and splunk socks?!

There are circles of people. The one containing people who 0% like this must be so small.
