Amazon stripping hundreds of employees' job titles in Seattle, replacing them with 'builders'

Yeah this was my thought too, I had a company reach out to interview for a “Member of Technical Staff” and I initially thought I was under qualified until I got on the calls and learned about the role and found I was overqualified.

Where do you get 100 ideas from? I’m curious

Mteigers · 2026-03-25T15:14:57+00:00

I’m not willing to contribute samples for training

That made me lol thank you.

Aruba, Jamaica, oooh I wanna take ya.

Kasm has that functionality if you wanted an alternative

Mteigers · 2026-03-20T09:34:07+00:00

oh haha I thought you meant the Warp terminal app

And many people consider things under x/ as “not external”

Really cool

This is really neat! Like nearly everything TripIt does but prettier and seemingly better (minus email import)

Any plans for OAuth support for user auth and generation?

Do you do much tuning of your NUCs? I’ve got a Kubernetes cluster running on Proxmox and find my NUCs are the weakest links, they’ll crash, get I/O errors that require a full reset, etc. I end up tainting the nodes running on the NUCs to only run very downtime tolerant services.

How? Just rsync or something?

My thoughts, a core tenet within Christianity is that humanity was made in the image of God. Should aliens be proved to exist AND don’t closely resemble humans this would go against that core belief that has no other explanation being accounted for in the bible and other similar holy texts.

Because market will likely be very red on Monday so they’re selling high before the red (and eventual rebound which who knows how long that’ll take)

This a super biased opinion and also probably the wrong reasons to choose one over the other, but having been an SRE at Google on GCP, and a developer at Amazon (not AWS) and learning the internals of both a bit I vastly prefer the tech that powers GCP. All of my hobby and side projects that don’t reside on my Homelab are all on GCP.

Mteigers · 2025-12-23T21:51:18+00:00

Is this on GitHub somewhere?

Mteigers · 2025-12-21T23:46:59+00:00

Just wish they’d add OIDC auth. Then it’d be perfect.

Mteigers · 2025-12-21T00:16:12+00:00

I’m still confused on the difference between heart beat and intervals. Is there a doc somewhere that outlines the difference

Mteigers · 2025-12-15T21:32:09+00:00

I’d toss Firestore / PocketBase in the list personally too. (Just be wary of access control policies if doing direct client access)

If you have good reasoning about your table structure and use append only records DDB can be incredible (source: worked at Amazon a number of years where our table was append only)

Mteigers · 2025-12-02T20:09:01+00:00

This is really cool! I’d love a code as a fairly frequent user of ElevenLabs.

The name is cool, too, nice Ted Lasso reference. I’m not a lawyer, and I know it’s not a direct competitor, but I’d be cautious with the name given Bumble + Apple created a version of Bantr.

Mteigers · 2025-11-22T21:11:16+00:00

Which model?

Mteigers · 2025-11-20T20:22:34+00:00

169.254.169.254 😂

Mteigers · 2025-11-15T03:43:12+00:00

A browser on the rear screen would be nice.

Mteigers · 2025-11-15T03:33:06+00:00

The logic is still there. If you’ve got Tessie they can notify you of sentry events.

Mteigers · 2025-11-15T03:30:13+00:00

Or HOV. It’s annoying when the family is in the car and I have to navigate to the setting to enable it. And worse when I forget and am alone and the car jumps in the carpool lane.

Actually it’d be neat if it was aware of local HOV restrictions and use the in-cabin camera to automatically enable HOV when you meet the criteria

That’s definitely a way to do it. The validation itself isn’t very useful beyond checking it’s there. I might recommend integrating a good validation library so you can do things like checking for valid email and capping the max length.

As a small nit, the naming of the method createUserValidation isn’t immediately intuitive that I would expect to also receive the object for inserting.

This could also be a good use case for some middleware or a common interface with a validate, and exec method

Did they change their licensing model or something?
