- Private work.
- re:Invent.
- Watched Ruba Borno’s keynote. Just lots of small partner segments.
- Watched Werner Vogels keynote. Just some commentary, no announcements. Themes: cost as a first-class citizen in design. Designing for the cloud. And you don’t know what you don’t now – just getting metrics/sensors/observability in front of people/apps will yield improvements inherently.
- New: There’s a
myApplications interface in console home, similar to my idea for App Catalog – you can associate all aws resources with different apps, add tags/attributes/groups/metadata, and then it splits a bunch of stuff by app (analytics, costs, etc). Doesn’t do stuff like support tiering or codeowners, but a good start.
- Further reason to not invest in the reddit IPO: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38423167. Wish I could short a private name.
- Changed trays.
- Icloud photo sync finished. I have ~4GB on device and ~46GB in cloud.
- Mealprepped. Fried chicken thighs, but with maseca! Brine. Dry rub (baking powder, pepper, paprika, cumin). Egg wash. Corn flour. Fry in peanut oil on high, ~3min each side, internal ~180.
- Unbelievably shitty service from AWS support continues: https://support.console.aws.amazon.com/support/home?region=us-west-1#/case/?displayId=14398223121&language=en
- Updated macbook to sonoma 14.1.2 (from 14.1.1, just a security patch but requires restart).
- Maintenance increases are insane in my building: (emailed super and asked for the itemization)
- 2021: 3.50%
- 2022: 4.89%
- 2023: 4.50%
- 2024: 5.93%
- Supercontest.
- Pinpoint confirmed that it will be up to 5d to resolve the tollfree registration issue.
- The second RI was not cancelled (and bill credited) at the cycle turnover (monthly, dec1). AWS support has been TERRIBLE these last two issues. Filed another ticket since you can’t reopen a case after 14 days: https://support.console.aws.amazon.com/support/home#/case/?displayId=14398223121&language=en
- Turned on Resource Explorer for my aws account. Basically just adds indexes in all regions so aws can query for your various resources more efficiently.
- Couldn’t get an sqla layer, built from my x86 ubuntu wsl2, to work either.
- Just gonna go full CDK/SAM for dev/test/deploy of these lambdas.
- This ticket is becoming more SERVERLESS than cache. The SQS part was easy. Getting the full infra up for lambda, cdk, sam, eventbridge, etc – that was the large majority.
