it SUCKS. There's no interactive debugging. Deploy for a minute or 5 depending on the changes, then trigger the lambda, wait another 5 minutes for all the logs to show up. Then proceed with printf/stack trace debugging.

For reasons that I forgot, locally running the lambda code on my dev box was not applicable. Locally deploying the cloud environment neither.

I wasn't around for the era but I imagine it's like working on an ancient mainframe with long compile times and a very slow printer.

This is actually not true in the Netherlands, which taxes unrealized gains on wealth. Quite unique. But NL also features a dividend tax, which politicians tried to get rid off but didn't succeed because it was such an unpopular plan.

From a cursory glance of their CSAE policy, combined with the above, it seems they would be very eager to comply with the dreaded "chat control".

You said you allocated 5 minutes max to this snippet, well in php this would be 5 seconds and 1 line. And it would be a proper solution.

    $name = $_GET['name'] ?? SOME_DEFAULT;

I get it though, because carefully structuring your #includes to get a single translation unit is messy, and compile times get too long.

My current routine is roughly brush_teeth(toothpaste={mirasensitive, random_cheap_toothpaste}[day%2]) as you don't need to apply HAP every single day.

I find that I still have to be careful eating apples and lemons straight up. To protect myself I thoroughly swish and rinse water a few times shortly after consuming these fruits. If I don't do that, my teeth get extremely sensitive and it takes a few days for the hap to repair it again.
