Also it's important to note the topic is during school hours. There's a wealth of knowledge to learn at school, and there's also a wealth to learn outside of school. Knowledge about the world can, and will, happen in both. Many hours outside of school to 'grow your knowledge' through your phone.


Currently Claude etc. can interact with services (including AWS) via MCPs.

What the user you're replying to is saying the Bun acquisition looks silly as a dev tool for Node. However if you look at their binding work for services like s3[0], the LLM will be able to interact directly with cloud services directly (lower latency, tighter integration, simplified deployment).

That doesn't make sense either. Agents already have access to MCPs and Tools. Your example is solved by having an S3 wrapper as a set of tools.


I bet you didn't click that link. A wrapper and an API that is built-in to the runtime and optimized for those use cases are different things.


Being able to remove a layer of abstraction to get the thing done is usually good right?


An AI company scoops up frontend tech. Do you really think it was because of s3?


JavaScript ≠ frontend

bun ≠ front end development tool

hasn't been like that for many years


Bun is not really frontend tech


I'm not too familiar with the history of a few that you've mentioned, but the Mustang (excluding the GTD), Supra, Carolla, S2000, Z never had track focused cars. For the time-poor and money-rich racing enthusiast, lacking a turn key package isn't really an option.

Your local track days where you see the likes that you mentioned - you'll also likely get a few Porches etc too. But there's absolutely a culture of racing higher end cars, the GT3's, Ferraris (488 Pista, 360 Challenge Stradale, starting to see XX's around too), the Valkyrie and Valiant etc. There's also those that grab older Cup cars and track them to the track. There's absolutely a market for turn key, track focused, road legal Ferrari's.


You can have an air gap between two physical items - it doesn't matter if those physical items are air tight or not. Air gapped doesn't mean the items are prohibited to intake air (i.e. air tight), it just means they're prohibited to intake things _apart_ from air.


It's also a good paper-trail if you have an SLA. Pointing to a ticket saying "this is when we knew" makes time calculation for compensation very trivial and transparent. Of course if your salesforce account manager is like most, they don't need such "evidence" but in the past it has helped me.


wouldn't any email suffice in such a case as proof?


We host our app on Heroku - the core service and a few microservices. The heroku dashboard is down, and we can't use the cli due to the in-browser auth callback that it needs (which is also down).

The status page itself is either saying nothing is wrong, or points to an error page[0]. The incident itself[1] hasn't been updated, which is pretty frustrating.

We can't submit a support ticket because, well, it requires the authentication procedure as well.

We use worker queues, and the queues are getting blown out because heroku can't action anything. We're having our microservices yo-yo now, which suggests things are getting worse, now better.

I've always been a huge Heroku advocate, but the last 5 years have been death by a thousand cuts.

This feels like the last paper cut for me. It's easy enough to keep using Heroku because it's "easy for the team," even though it is overpriced. But when they can't even acknowledge an incident and there is no way to log in and file a ticket, it feels like they have failed.


That status incident page at https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2822 is currently taking nearly 60 seconds to load for me, with a spinner.

Which is odd, heroku I'd think would be pretty good at keeping it's status page infrastructure separate enough to stay up. Must mean something pretty fundamental in their architecture is malfunctioning. :(

but when I am able to see the error page, it did say "Heroku continues to investigate and remediate an issue with intermittent outages" -- I would say it is acknolwedged. Yes, that message is 3 hours old. The fact that it's taking them over 3 hours to fix is disturbing, but getting contant progress communication isn't really urgent for me -- I know they know about it, I know they are working to fix it, I'd like them to fix it _quicker_ but I don't need a play-by-play, "can't even acknowledge an incident" is NOT a problem being exhibited, it's acknowledged.

We'll wait and see what it was. A good retrospective write-up goes a long way to increasing many people's confidence, including mine.


I wonder whether heroku is some kind of monolith, if something crashes, the whole thing crashes.


In general, I was getting death-by-a-thousand-cuts pessmisim about heroku, but I'm really optimistic about the new Fir stack, which will fix some of my biggest complaints.

Stability definitely still matters though, of course.


The cli doesn't seem to work anyways, I can't access or restart dynos.


Not sure what country you're from, but "blockout blinds" are likely what you're looking for. They blockout (essentially) all light and are operated like normal blinds.


Have never seen blockout blinds which stop enough light during the day - they leak enough to be comparable to a reading lamp, since outdoors is so bright.


I used to work night shift and tried a few different things. Maybe the super-premium blinds block more light, but IME the most effective solution is blackout curtains. You'll need to hang a curtain rod that's wider than the window and get curtains that are wide enough, ideally just a single curtain rather than 2 if your window is narrow enough.


Mounted internal to the window frame, not external, works better for me. Internal can ride tighter to the window, so light can't go out the edges. With external frame mounting, you need much wider shades.

If the fabric itself isn't blocking light... You need better material. I have only ever had problem with light leakage in the edges, not in the fabric material.

I believe 'blackout thermal shades' is what to look for.


I have that. They have a magnet that keep the middle, where they connect light-tight.

Installation is key - they need to be oversized, covering the entire window AND the trim, and they need to be carefully installed so that they touch the trim.


Do you sleep during the day typically?


The biggest difference is GitHub in your infrastructure is (nearly always) internal. Fly in your infrastructure is external. Users generally don't see when you have issues with GitHub, but they do generally see when you have issues with Fly.

That's the core difference.


I build an add-on for Heroku[0], have worked for a company on and off that's had all core services on Heroku for over 8 years, and I've put a lot of my side projects etc. on Heroku.

My experiences differ depending on the above, I've mostly use Render or an alternative for side projects now (just due to cost/forgettability). As a daily user of Heroku professionally - it's clear Heroku isn't a priority for Salesforce. Heroku has struggled to maintain any form of product development and, if anything, has become more unreliable over the last year or two.

As an add-on developer, my communication with Heroku has been fantastic. You can assume so because it's a direct revenue stream and feature expander - but my experience with other platforms isn't (iOS has slow/poor communication and docs, Chrome's extension support is non-existent and often not backwards compatible etc.). It's kind of re-ignited my love affair with Heroku, like it was pre-salesforce.

Overall I can't see us moving from Heroku unless costs demand us to - it's just too 'easy' to stay. Vendor lock in is real and I'm okay admitting that.

Sorry for ignorance, but how do you censor platforms you have no control over? If a tourist with a following posts it to Instagram, what can you actually do?

I feel like if you have the power to censor leak things you’d be worth a huge sum of money.


That would be worst case. Never happened so far AFAIK
