Person 1: so cloud is somebody else's computer/data-center the same way a dildo is someone else's penis. you know, technically true but so not true — we have glow-in-the-dark ones and dragons and all that Person 2: oh, it's an evolving definition — like the camembert and brie thing! Me:

"C'mon, with the ever-present hero syndrome and with the military language overuse are you really surprised that DevOps has many similarities to the Military Industrial Complex!?!"

Vlad lonescu on Twitter, 23 January 2023: Backstage is a service catalog with some glitter on. Service catalog is "fill in this JIRA ticket with the required information and submit it" but in a nice suit and with extra code and maintenance. It'll fail for the same reasons. Fucking Spotify and their fucking preaching.

Reply from Arun: It's an improvement on a spreadsheet, I'll give it that

Reply from Vlad lonescu: Backstage: the slightly better spreadsheet! Well, also with extra maintenance, upgrades, training, and upskilling required. But it's an improvement* over emailing XLS files! Well, am improvement according to the tech lead and people at conferences

"No Vlad, don't get a hair transplant! You're at the perfect mid-way point: with that one outfit you look like a college freshman and with that other outfit you look like a middle-age dad 😍 You're hot for both people with daddy issues and for people without daddy issues!"

The fking Universe sided with them 🤦 After posting this, I wanted to pour myself a glass of wine as a reward aaaaaand the bottle got evil — it gave me a facial and sprayed me with a bunch of wine. Now I gotta shower again to wash the wine off 😠

Maybe me getting older in 2024 is not so bad

Incestuous Silicon Valley companies discovering the horrifying implications of inbreeding continues to remain a hilarious thing to watch 🤣 TL;DR: in this latest episode, AI/ML assistants are getting destroyed by the real market. 1/X 🧵

First post: "Today I learned that Charles Darwin married his first cousin with whom he had ten children. Three died as infants and three were infertile. He was the first to raise the question if incest may cause weaknesses in offspring after studying inbred plants in his garden."

Reply: "Charles Darwin looking at his fucked up tomatoes: oh shit that me"

Reply: "This is the funniest comment l've read on a post"

In adulting news: I spent 45 minutes trying to figure out if a soap I bought is actually soap or not. After checking the official website (the US, UK, RO, and ES versions) and multiple other sources I still did not reach a conclusion and I am waiting for a cosmetics expert to get back to me.

Adulting. One star out of five. F*cking bullshit, would not recommend.

AWS' April 2023 stats, as per the still-not-public-I-am-sorry-about-it OtherSecretProject. I don't have a word count for the full report cause it's not 100% ready yet 😅 But hey, at least now we know that the video and Q&A variants do not work.

April 2023 was a relatively chaotic month for AWS. They had 164 official releases, 25 of which had a launch blog post: 4 releases you must know about, regardless of your workload, 19 releases you should know about, depending on your workload, and 129 releases you may find relevant, depending on your workload. AWS also had 1 launch announced (debatably) exclusively on Twitter and GitHub, 9 pre-announcements at a conference / on YouTube / on GitHub, 4 pre-announcements on GitHub, and 2 other announcements.
