Just me and my friend @binford2k.bsky.social rotating secrets on a Friday afternoon over beers @thebeermongers.bsky.social in Portland. Which we can do, cause archodex.com makes sure we know everywhere our secrets are used so we don't cause outages.

I’m still using an intel era macbook pro, but rust dev is so slow. I make a one char change, then have to wait 30s to see what new error squiggles appear in vscode. Probably time for an upgrade…

I became annoyed with my password manager and decided to do something about it. Along the way I scratched another itch: Is AWS Aurora DSQL for real? #aws #serverless (1/8)
