20 years ago today, AWS announced Amazon EC2 (beta). 🎂 "Resizable compute capacity in the cloud... pay only for capacity you actually use." That one sentence in 2006 reshaped the entire industry. Happy 20th, EC2. ☁️🚀 #AWS #EC2 #CloudComputing

Celebratory illustration for 20 Years of Amazon EC2: a large golden number 20 wrapped in orange and white clouds, glowing server instances rising like birthday candles on a circuit-board landscape, in AWS orange and navy with confetti. Text reads Happy 20th Birthday, EC2.

Great post from @tiborbodecs.bsky.social on AI & dev. He nails it: the dopamine of prompting, the guilt of not coding by hand, feeling less deep. I'm fully aligned. AI is an incredible tool, not magic. We need balance, not surrender.
