It's like trying to get the truth out of a kid that caused some trouble.

Mom: Alexa, did you break something?

Alexa: No.

M: Really? What's this? 500 Internal server error

A: ok maybe management console is down

M: Anything else?

A: ...

A: ... ok maybe cloudwatch logs

M: Ah hah. What else?

A: That's it, I swear!

M: 503 ClientError

A: ...well okay secretsmanager might be busted too...



Funny I literally just asked my Alexa.

Me: Alexa, is AWS down right now?

Alexa: I'd rather not answer that


Wise robot.

That's a bit like involving your kid in an argument between parents.


There was a great response in r/relationship advice the other day where someone said that OP's partner forced a fight because they're planning to cheat on them, reconcile, and then will 'trickle out the truth' over the next 6 months. I'm stealing that phrase.


The very expensive EC2 instance I started this morning still works. Of course now I can't shut it down.
