• Friday

    • Private work. Meetings today.
    • Remember the real AoC: https://adventofcode.com/
    • AWS step functions for automating workflows. ETL, lambdas triggering other things, any pipeline really. Has a visual diagramming tool.
    • There’s always Serverless Framework (node module) to compete with SAM. It’s more generic, less catered to aws.
    • Distilled the ~700 re:invent breakout sessions into ~35 videos I want to watch.
    • Mealprep, amazon fresh, haircut, gym, holiday-tipped building+barber, chores.
    • Instacart replied with … nothing. They asked to fill out the SAME form again. Great! After two weeks!
    • CDK is written in an imperative language like python, but remember that its output is a declarative cloudformation template.
    • Did some research on AI notetakers.
      • Butter, Fireflies, Otter, Fathom, more.
      • There’s also openai Whisper, but I’m not aware of any direct meeting integrations.
      • Most are ~$10-20/user/month.
    • Moved from mint to credit karma.
      • Shareworks integration still broken. Didn’t migrate the MAJORITY of my accounts. Terrible.
      • The mint interface is 1000% better than CK.
      • Downloaded mobile app.
      • Verified email. Played with some settings. Opted out of creditworthiness/other sharing.
      • Tried to submit a support case to reinstate my mint. Failed. Multiple times.
      • Started chat. Got transferred the usual few. They were not able to recover my account data.
      • I was with mint for 2 decades.
      • Going to move to an entirely new platform. This one is trash. Terrible strategic decision on Intuit’s part.
