Every company should create an internal benchmark measuring how hard it is to create a simple regional CRUD service and publish it to production with bare minimal privacy, security, compliance, and observability features in place.

I can’t even imagine how many applications this is getting.

The bots on X seem to have become marginally less of an issue, but I’m seeing a lot of bots friending me and liking my posts on Blsky.

6 months ago @Sentry acquired our company & since then I've been experimenting a lot with AI I wrote up some of my thoughts on vibe coding & dealing with "AiDHD" josh.ing/blog/aidhd

In my opinion, a cool vibes look for @claudeai would be even better 😅

I also didn’t realize @RanBuilder created this repo, which looks great github.com/ran-isenberg/aws-…

This is a great explanation of platform engineering. @RanBuilder and his colleagues at CyberArk can now deploy new serverless services to prod in hours instead of days. Even for serverless applications, it’s helpful to have infrastructure and CI/CD blueprints so you don’t need to create them for each new service.

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. Unfortunately, I know this disease too well after losing my dad to it at the end of 2021. Cancer advocacy groups, like the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, accept donations all year to help fund research, support patients, and fight cancers like this. You can always consider donating to groups like this. Also, if your body is telling you something isn’t right, don’t put it off. Seek treatment as soon as possible. The sooner you do, the better your chances for a positive outcome. While anyone can get diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, following these guidelines from PCAN help reduce your chance of having this terrible disease.

Don’t pass up alumni group meetups. I went to a U of M CSE alumni meetup in Detroit tonight and it was great to connect with folks doing so many different things and also hearing what’s new at U of M.

There’s so much happening with Anthropic + Claude Code right now. Is there an Anthropic focused podcast that covers news, example applications, best practices, guests, etc.? I feel like this would be a massive hit.

I like this approach

Is Product Hunt somewhat questionable? I joined a LinkedIn group for it and now I keep getting connection requests with people asking me to vote for them in exchange for votes for my product.

Have you ever wondered what the best cost/performance ratio is for AWS instances? What if you wanted to find GCP's equivalent of an c8i.32xlarge? (c4-highcpu-144 btw) Now, you can. Check out the instance explorer!

Rare to read a post arguing about the importance of software architecture BUT doing it without software architects than this one. And you can just sense the hard-earned scars Matt got on the way: at Netflix, Twitter and other places: Such a good read:

Why haven’t instant messaging apps like Slack and Teams started leveraging AI to identify the few messages that are important and require immediate attention and messages that can be addressed eventually? I am drowning in messages and I assume others are too.

Sora 2 is pretty good at making cinematic movie trailers. Here are some I made for fast food.

I’m saddened that it will be dark earlier than necessary for the next few months now thanks to the time change.

I don’t check Facebook often (few times a week), but whenever I do, it reliably suggests AI slop short videos for me to watch, frequently mocking overweight people. How is this good for society?
