It’s crazy that a fake AI generated TikTok of @monzo bank that is pushing a gambling app is allowed. Some of these are so good a regular person might believe it @tiktok_uk

Fun with Github Copilot licenses. If you have a personal plan, it'll be cancelled once you are added to an org. That org will then supersede your settings, on any repo, meaning you cannot use features on your own repos if you org doesn't allow it. Takes 3 days to de-licenese...

The sad state of @monzo customer service. 5 hours of asking why my card was frozen to be told I can’t be told because the support doesn’t have access. I still don’t know what triggered Monzo to freeze my card….

In 2 interviews for different companies I have been told by hiring managers that the bet on Ruby on Rails in 2018 failed and they are pivoting away from ruby to other languages. Node.js and typescript are the one apparently

I’m sure some engineers at Spotify spent a lot effort on audio normalisation, but when swifties want to kill a feature, it’s done. Would love to see the stats on how many devices turned it off for 1989 #TaylorSwift1989

Lambda question, if a lambda layer fails, does it fail the whole lambda? Im running Open telemetry lambda layer to collect traces and it looks like when the collector fails, the whole lambda hard fails #aws #otel

Trying to understand ecs service connect. If I have an existing service then deploy a new service, the only way for the existing services to communicate is re-deploy them? #ecs #aws

@IamStan hey, I have an API that has limited usage and the backend is lambda, cold starts are a killer, first request takes a long time, multiple requests are also a problem with cold starts, is there a way around this?

Replying to @mitchellh
@mitchellh so hashicorp has become one of those companies that just makes it difficult. One click unsubscribe should be a default. Send high quality emails and people won’t want to unsubscribe
