Good question. I'm driving mostly off of my own use cases currently, so AWS SDK/CLI/Terraform compatibility. Response formats, codes, messages are best effort, there's a little work to be done there still. There's some gaps around request validation still too.

The idea is to build up a good suite of integration/regression tests as cases are identified by myself or the community (if there is one) through development.

Yep integration is my use case as well. It’s nice to not have to worry about setting up real infrastructure for testing client code, parallel execution if you’re on a team, clearing out state each run, etc…

With the recent changes around Localstack pricing/licensing I've been hunting for alternatives. I decided that it might be a fun experiment to try rolling my own. SQS is a service I use heavily so I chose that as the first service to implement. I have more services planned and in development.

A few things I think are cool:

4MB Docker Image Size

Instant Startup

AWS Sigv4 Authentication

A little admin UI that can be helpful for development/troubleshooting

Most of the SQS API implemented, the rest will soon follow :)

I can definitely relate. There's nights my wife and I get to bed and sorta just look at eachother and go "what the hell was that". Those days are hard.

I find the days that I forget myself and throw myself into trying to be a good dad are the days I find joy in fatherhood. Weekends especially I try to forget the stresses of work and productivity and everything else and try to spend as much time with them as possible. Playing, teaching, and learning with them.

Not saying it's universal. Just a datapoint from me.

Great way of putting it. It's the sort of thing you just have to trust others and jump into. If you think about it too much it just doesn't make sense.

Can't precompile for all the combinations of hardware, driver version, operating systems, etc... It's not really a vulkan specific problem and it's hard to solve. (for desktops anyways)

Progress on learning Korean.

Get at least one programming project to the point I can show it off.

Fix my focusing problem and consume much less content.

It bewilders me. Software's gotta be easier than hardware right? Not that either is easy but as a software engineer, the engineering that goes into modern hardware mystifies me.

That's what I did, bought a used one with 64GB and a dent in the back for ~$1k a year back or so. Some of the best money i've ever spent.

I loved asking questions as a kid. To the point of annoying adults. I would have loved to sit and ask these AI questions about all kinds of interests when I was young.

I’m curious if this is due more to climate or species of grass in an area.
