Running Codex on Bedrock with GPT-5.6 Sol right now is expensive for a boring reason: no explicit prompt cache controls.
One team saw 172M cache-write tokens in 4 days 85% of their model spend with almost no cache hits.
The session key is there, but the actual cache options aren’t being sent. On agentic workloads that gets costly fast.
This needs to be fixed before more people scale Sol on Bedrock.

Google just gave eligible college students a full year of Gemini for free.
US students get the Pro plan. Students in 140+ countries get Plus.
They’re also launching a real Student Hub with: → Adaptive study notebooks that diagnose knowledge gaps
→ Interactive 3D visualizations
→ Voice-driven Deep Research that works in the background
This is smart positioning. While everyone else is fighting over enterprise seats, Google is capturing the next wave of power users while they’re still in school.
Free premium AI for a year is a strong retention play.
Back-to-school season is here and starting today, eligible college students can get a full year of Gemini on us:
- US students: 1 year of Google AI Pro at no cost
- 140+ countries: 1 year of Google AI Plus at no cost

Your release runs `docker compose up -d --build`.
For the next 2 minutes, every request returns 502.
I fixed that on ONE EC2 instance. No ECS. No load balancer.
Two slots, a health check, and one atomic proxy reload.

We are just 48 hours away from kickoff! ⏰
Tech is always better when you build together. Who are you bringing to the AWS Ilorin Builder’s 2-day workshop this Thursday and Friday?
You don’t want to miss this
See you soon! 🚀
Day 1 (Aug 20): https://t.co/PWCeNeS74w

Thanks for the kind words and the tag, Our Imam @PiousGeek!
To the anonymous sender: Welcome to DevOps! My biggest piece of advice is to not rush into complex tools right away. Master the absolute fundamentals first: Linux administration, basic networking, and a programming language like Go or Python. Once those are solid, getting hands-on with AWS or GCP becomes much easier. Focus on building real projects over just collecting certificates.
5 DAYS TO GO! ⏳
We are exactly 5 days away from making history!

Just add a few DNS records, and you're ready to go.
Excellent take from @opeawo.
We lose too much talent to the “founder or nothing” mindset. Sometimes the fastest way to level up is to join a team already operating at 10x the complexity you can create alone.
Go where the real problems (and real learning) are. Titles are temporary. Skills and network compound.
What’s one role or company you took (or wish you took) purely for the learning, even if it wasn’t “founder mode”?”
