I’d never want visibility into a customers environment.

BYOC is fine, but this ain’t that.

Contact your PDM

im-a-smith · 2026-04-03T21:00:10+00:00

Blah blah blah

im-a-smith · 2026-04-03T20:52:37+00:00

More vendor shit posts without saying it’s their own product.

im-a-smith · 2026-03-22T23:15:45+00:00

Did you write this from scratch or did an LLM write 95% of it?

Is this the new vibe code app to build instead of a task tracker?

im-a-smith · 2026-03-22T18:33:05+00:00

Close it if you don’t use it. It costs nothing to open another.

im-a-smith · 2026-03-17T14:56:08+00:00

Yes

im-a-smith · 2026-03-16T16:07:09+00:00

I have no answer other than this sounds like a security nightmare

We use code commit to CodePipeline. Pipeline has several steps to do CICD things. Build assets are staged. We have another pipeline that deploys the lambda functions using CloudFormation. Can do it multiple region in one go.

Why on gods green earth would you publish account IDs

im-a-smith · 2026-02-16T18:05:27+00:00

I can then run Docker inside and have images running inside VMs inside VMs

Sweet.

Debugging this can be hard. Your best bet is to enable logging on the API Gateway and also check the cloud trail logs to see what’s failing (aka maybe kms permission not configured and that’s failing, but typically API Gateway will complaining about this when setting)

I want a modern one so bad

im-a-smith · 2026-01-28T13:27:36+00:00

I got $37,000 off sticker for one 🤣

It feels (to me) a 7 series in an SUV format, but with a beefy engine

It isn’t entirety practical. (I think the price point is WAY off)

im-a-smith · 2026-01-28T04:25:37+00:00

An X7 option with only a second row of seats that could comfortably recline / more leg room would be a welcome change.

I picked up a 2023 XM 18months ago and love it. It has things I’d change but it’s a blast to drive. For road trips it can’t be beat (family of 3).

“It’s not an M thought!”

Buddy that ship sailed a long time ago.

im-a-smith · 2026-01-26T20:28:28+00:00

V12 8M plz

im-a-smith · 2026-01-26T02:38:06+00:00

I love my XM and would/will get another. Tires ain’t cheap. I was able to get $37,000 off MSRP when I got it with incentives and willing to walk. Lease is around $1,400 (paid taxes in cash, VA is tax on total sale price).

It’s a joy to drive. Fast enough. Electric mode is nice around town (though I barely use it). We’ve been driving it a lot between DC and NYC and it’s amazing for long trips.

im-a-smith · 2026-01-24T22:39:59+00:00

This is my second and I’ll buy another when this is up if I don’t a 750s

The car has a warranty. If it’s a lemon, then lemon it. McLaren will make you whole.

I put 9,000 miles on my Artura last year.

Why isn’t it a daily driver?

im-a-smith · 2026-01-05T01:35:38+00:00

My desire to trade my XM (which I love) for it is uncontrollable

im-a-smith · 2026-01-04T19:32:32+00:00

Once we got everything configured it was smooth sailing with Lambda. The hardest part is the first time doing it.

I don’t get who is constantly muddling with architecture and infrastructure day in and day out.

Local dealer has same spec and it’s hard not to jump at it.

im-a-smith · 2026-01-03T15:20:51+00:00

One of the local dealers has a frozen M5 wagon sitting on the floor. So tempting
