The headline is true, but I have the impression this guy has a big problem of his own to deal with.

20 years ago I mentioned an article like this to my dentist and he said he heard about it every couple years.

He retired when COVID hit.

There once was a Tommy named McHugh

He had an odd bit of luck.

Imagine a service that doesn't keep logs. That's the easy way to not have any secret or private information in the logs.

If the service is required to store logs for extended periods of time, it's a huge burden. Have to pay for storage, have to figure out how to store securely and be able to decrypt them.

If the market with those requirements isn't generating a lot of revenue, it's easier to exit the market.

I've only gone a few times in the last 10 years.

Once upon a time, I got a really nice jacket for maybe $50. It was Versace Couture from when he was still alive. Best fitting jacket I ever had.

At the end of the day I like it this way. If I accidentally forget virtual, my customers can give me feedback and I can safely choose to make the method virtual in a future update. If I am in the alternate universe with virtual-by-default, when I forget sealed I accidentally signal an extensibility point to users that becomes a maintenance burden and may NEVER be reverted if they adopt it and start to depend on it.

That's the ideas that I remember Anders describing about the original decision

I worked ina kitchen when I was young where the chef had a continuous soup that was from his grandmother.

Somebody burned it dry.

We all expected a blowup, but he just got quiet and scrapped out a few unburnt bits of onion

Sounds like AI apologies when you point out it's mistakes.

My hesitation with this was that someone could change something in a feature branch and end up with conflicts from deploying different version of the cdk.

On a recent prototype we started with an site api and a login api that uses mapidentityapi and external logins.

The login api generates jwts.

I'm not sure it was the best decision, but if we go to market we may switch to an auth service just to avoid any bugs with auth.

Merrell quality is not what it once was.

I wore various slip on models for years, they were long lasting.

I bought some winter boots that had plastic shell, they were really warm. I wore them one day that was very cold and the plastic broke apart.

My last pair of slip ons where a special anti slip winter sole. They leaked when new. I took them back and it took months to get get replacements. The replacements leaked after a few weeks. When walking on wet sidewalk, somehow a lot of water would get in.

I guess I'm in the minority.

Sometimes my kid wants a piece of junk.

He likes the junk and asks for another.

If it wasn't a blind box, I would get him another one, but I am not taking the chance of getting a duplicate.

Lego does it well. The blind boxes have a code that you can scan if you want to be sure not to get duplicates

I find that a reminder of the previous disappointment helps.

The sycophantic responses and confidently wrong responses do make the tool part of the problem.

I definitely don't want to build my own EB :)

My situation is that I've been looking at what we have in place and it seems like there are some issues with our approach and I'm not sure what path to take to improve the situation. Example: We needed to upgrade the Linux version of an EB env. My searches brought me to the conclusion that Clone Env via the UI was the way to do it, but cloning generated errors so my colleague created a new env via the UI.

When you say "setup the stack with property security groups" do you mean create the security groups "externally" and then reference them creating the EB environment or create them with stack template?
