Things I could not figure out from the docs yet:

- secrets management
- deploying branches as subdomains

...but looks really interesting.

IMO this isn't generational at all. But I am glad to see there are more and more people seeing the light.

AWS is usually great tech with a poor DX.

May I c&p that to my timeline? 🙃

But seriously: After so many years I still haven't figured out why the same happens to me for some things but not others.

I see very different outcomes for junior and senior devs - but my testing group is too small to make a generalised statement.

It's always the question whether is faster to review the code vs writing it yourself. This can vary dramatically depending on the complexity and risk of the tasks at hand.

If you don't think the image says it all, anyone with minuscule amount of accessibility training can tell you that the iOS26 control center looks like a brain fart.

I do believe sanity will prevail and they make some more adjustments before the release.

Fingers crossed.

I guess the official term is "shut down" but it makes you wonder.
