This is probably the most delightful thing I have ever read about myself. I love it so much. @forrestbrazeal: thank you for *getting* me. Everyone else: read the whole article, it’s great. newsletter.goodtechthings.com/p/crimes-again…

AI has made my abandoned "browse any Docker image" website side-project useable. It now indexes images twice as fast, files can be deep-linked, og:images, and the ability to view only hidden files. E.g. here's a file left behind in a CodeBuild layer.

Lambda Web Functions were released today. I got carried away and wrote three blog posts about them. 1: A collection of technical tidbits. 2: They're not actually Node.js-only, you can run Go/Rust. 3: They're cheaper than Event Functions at processing events. 1/4

I know I've fanboyed about Amp before, but it just keeps getting better. This weekend I bought a Mac mini and got Amp to set it up as my new Amp runner + GHA runner. The macOS app is great, and I love the desktop sharing. Subthreads are so good. And now Claude subscriptions too!

This is a really nice improvement: you can now include EC2 resource tags in VPC flow logs. I wrote a poor version of this about 8 years and 3 jobs ago. It's infinitely more useful than raw IP addresses for making sense of east-west traffic.
