SaaS status pages (e.g. Slack status page) should add a "<app> is down for me" button. When 1M people click on it, then maybe there's a problem.

Fun fact, if you know how to use boto3/botocore events, you know how to write AWS CLI customizations/extensions. They use the exact same event system. It's been a while, but IIRC the event system started in the AWS CLI. [1/5]

Infrastructure is getting too complex. We need more ppl to say no and fight for simple. Simple is robust, understandable, and easy to troubleshoot.

I heard @awscloud employees got special “nitro” vaccines. It’s apparently their own custom hyper-Pfizer.
