✨ In March 2023, I published an article about AI.
This was right after OpenAI showcased how GPT4 could turn a hand-drawn sketch of a website into real HTML/CSS/JS. The consensus online was that FE jobs would stop existing within 1-2 years.
Well, it’s been 2 years! So, I just published a follow-up:

AWS Amplify Gen2 has a fix for the unreadable CloudWatch log names
Now you get:
/aws/lambda/astR
instead of
/aws/lambda/amplify-fw34ufwj3m-master-b-astRlambdaD70DF3-YDtuB774
Quick demo in the video
PS: No env info or prefixes in that name, but it's easy to add

The tests runtime in #CDK was pretty bad
I looked how to fix it and #Typescript and #Jest had options to do it better. But its complicated.

It’s not “his staff”
Listen – it’s not nuts to ask federal employees to report what they’re working on. My staff has to do weekly reports too.
But the WAY Musk is doing this? What’s he gonna do, read 2 million emails? This is just not serious stuff.

Apple been steadily improving passwords management. We're switching household from 1Password to Apple's native app Passwords. It's the successor of Keychain.
1password itself provided a good reason to switch, it persistently demanded renewal payment and locked local edits.
