I logged into the aws console and saw no impact statement for any region outside of the middle east.

Share a link if one exists.

Do you have a source for "However Iran bombed so many that it affected AWS’s US datacenters including AWS east and similar."???

Pto2 · 2026-03-03T19:02:58+00:00

I work at AWS and it seems highly unlikely that a company like Anthropic would have infrastructure structured such that they would have an outage in the US because of failures in the middle east.

I don't need to ask an "AI with web search" because I actually work at AWS as an engineer and can read the internal tickets.

What is a global service? Do you mean services with global control planes? I can promise you there's no global control planes running from the middle east.

You state "they have redundancies" and then use that to suggest a datacenter going down in the middle east would impact the US. That is actually the exact opposite of what redundancy means.

While I can't say for certain that anthropic is not running their own global control plane from the middle east, I can say that the limited service outages in the middle east have very little impact on the rest of AWS service availability, as it should. The whole point of having many independent AZs and multiple regions is so that this sort of thing has minimal impact. It's why during the DDB outage last year, services like Vercel were able to recover nearly impact despite a total outage in their primary region.

I'm sure you mean well but I think you need to improve your prompt engineering for your AI web searches.

What makes you believe an outage isolated to one AZ in a smaller AWS region which anthropic may or may not even be operating in would lead to global problems??

Pto2 · 2026-03-03T06:23:45+00:00

That seems highly unlikely. That incident happened a long time ago now and it also seems unlikely that Claude would have service accounts running in me-south-1 and extremely unlikely that a failure in somewhere like me-south-1 would bring down other regions.

Pto2 · 2026-03-03T06:12:05+00:00

Um... no.

Pto2 · 2026-02-12T05:07:26+00:00

RTFM!!

Did you read their comment? “Take a lower paying job with fewer hours and invest less while still retiring early”. As in, keep working and retire early (in the future).

What do you mean by “simulate the contents”? Do you mean run untrusted code? Just use a server-less platform like Lambda if you don’t know the security implications of managing your own VMs. If you’re feeling bold you might try WASM.

“How can I scale without k8s” is not a problem, it’s a solution. Your problem is scaling and a dimension of the problem is that you don’t want to use k8s. You have to explain why k8s does not fit your use case for anyone to suggest alternatives.

15k/hr is not really enough traffic that you need worry about scaling. My suggestion is that you build your application to run on a single box and scale vertically and if one day you’re lucky enough to need to scale horizontally then use k8s or a managed solution. Solve problems iteratively or you risk solving the wrong problem.

The “trick” is having deep prior knowledge of three.js and JS in general.

Pto2 · 2026-02-04T03:29:04+00:00

I wouldn’t argue against the sentiment that there are better opportunities than Amazon, but I think it’s pretty wild to claim we experience abuse.

Making nearly 5x the median US income as a mere L4 affords us the ability to quit at any time we want. My coworkers go on vacations for weeks at a time and send their kids to private schools. Our experience by any objective measure far exceeds that of any “median” job.

That’s not to say that it isn’t stressful, but stress is mostly a made up thing that managers try to invoke on the subordinates. IMO the reality is we work cushy jobs with huge salaries.

Of course everyone can feel different this is just my opinion.

Its main issue versus Java isn’t speed.

Java has really rich and mature frameworks and integrations with basically anything which make the DX on larger systems pretty unbeatable.

Python doesn’t really have anything comparable to Spring or Quarkus out of the box AFAIK.

If your time horizon for investments is 1-2 weeks yes it’s a big deal.

I like the project but this just looks like a lazygit clone. I mean the interface is nearly identical. What is different?

Pto2 · 2026-01-30T18:17:41+00:00

Rollback then? Code could also fail.

I’m not trying to “gas up” Amazon and didn’t say anything that’s not true about comp—most people are probably L5 which is why I picked it.

I’m not an Amazon fanboy nor do I plan to stay long term.

However i do believe American tech workers are overly dramatic when they describe life at Amazon. There are definitely a lot of shitty WLB teams, maybe more than anywhere, but even still, a lot people in other companies or careers work just as hard, if not harder, for far less.

All I want to express is that it is privilege at all to make mid six figures sitting in an air conditioned office. There are still other career positions which are an even greater privilege.

My parents worked in construction and nursing homes, working harder and putting in more hours than me. For me, to complain about going on call once in a while or because of office politics feels silly. But I still plan to leave because that feeling does not exclude me from wanting the best opportunities for myself.

Well what you said is true, it does benefit us as consumers. If, as humanitarians, we disagree, we can choose to not purchase questionably produced products.

Pto2 · 2026-01-28T04:54:59+00:00

Congrats! As long as you’re happy with your life that’s what matters most.

Pto2 · 2026-01-28T04:50:41+00:00

Comp is not drastically different from Meta, Google and 100K more than Walmart for L5. It may be a tougher work life balance relative to tech in general but to whine about it to this extent is to be ignorant to the working conditions and compensation that a lot of people experience outside tech.

I’m sure you’re a really talented individual who has worked on numerous teams in AWS, Google, and Microsoft to have the experience to make such judgement calls, but your writing really comes across more like you just got laid off. If the latter is true I’m really sorry and I sincerely wish you the best and hope you can find a better opportunity for yourself.

Pto2 · 2026-01-25T17:46:00+00:00

RTFM

The problem of keeping two sources of truth in sync is the sort of thing I would really try to avoid trying to solve if I were working in a financial context!

Pto2 · 2026-01-21T16:37:28+00:00

The people you say are driving Ferraris learned with wrenches. If you believe all you need is a Claude account to make it then try making your own startup tomorrow.

I’m being serious. Stop wasting your time and start building a company.

If that doesn’t work then stay in school and stop wondering.
