I think you as a person have intrinsic value, and I hope your opinion changes in the future.

There's irony for commenting about blocking comments.

We had a house growing up in Alaska with a steep pitch, and our Dad would get us in trouble for parking the car "too close" to the threshold of the house where the the accumulated snow on the roof could slide of and pound anything in its path.

One day sitting at the dinner table, we heard a giant slide and heard it smash onto the car, and fortunately we found the car keys in my Dad's jacket that night.

That reminds of seeing Mike Rowe do something like this that just broke my brain of doing exactly that for extended periods of time for voice over work.

bevelwork — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 17:32:23 +0000

I've been using SSM a lot more recently with clients and jumping between environments and finding the right instance id, and troubleshooting when its not working has chewed up a bit too much of my life.

I hope this saves a chunk for yours.

Initial impression is good.

Few feedback items:

1. Its hard to get a sense of what task is being worked if you migrate back to the main page then come back to a running task. You kind just have to figure it out and hope its still running.

2. I wish you could opt into a global `git diff` view. Saying here's what we modified in the last iteration.

3. Also for local runs I'd greater prefer if it'd prompt confirmation before executing something I haven't seen yet. Essentially on a real piece of code you'd have to make sure you're 100% in a sandbox so you don't bork things for other developers.

4. ctr+c killing the current operation definitely happened on accident trying to copy another prompt.

5. It'd be really nice if it was git-aware. E.g. when files are finalized they're committed to whichever branch and uncommitted files are considered work in progress.

You recently started using GH projects for one of our new products, and we actually like it a lot. Although this article feels like a bit more SEO fluff

New comment by bevelwork in "Infrastructure as Code with Examples"

bevelwork — Fri, 05 Aug 2022 02:00:10 +0000

I wouldn't be as harsh with my criticism, but perhaps larger examples of each. Hey here's a lambda + api gateway + r53 + s3 deployment, and how that consistent environment looks under each deployment.

What makes 'x' different/better/more labor intensive than 'y'. Perhaps adding a git repo with all the examples aggregated and call out improvements you'd like to make

All that said, keep making content. Don't let "vapid" feedback bog ya down.
