So I was also at this meeting. I agree that its a really spoiled discussion. But there is also a lot more un-published cost cutting. They have been aggressively slashing budget for…

Internally the rumor is that our CICD pipelines failed to stop bad commits to certain AWS services. This isn’t due to tests but due to actual pipelines infra failing. We’ve been to…

Rumor is that our internal pipelines are the root cause. The CICD pipelines (not tests, the literal pipeline infrastructure) failed to block certain commits and pushed them to prod…

AWS services are all built against each other so one failing will take down a bunch more which take down more like dominos. Internally there’s a list of >20 “public facing” AWS ser…

Seems unlikely many firms would want to scale out the hardware of their own network - rented from Amazon no less- instead.

Heard it may not launch soon because the project is so stressful employees may quit before it’s done. Lots of weekend work and lying management.

No internal use. This is a hype driven white labeling.

No this is a Antenae-as-a-service

Can confirm there’s no internal use. It’s a fresh project to capitalize on 5g hype. They’re working with a partner for hardware but redoing their software. So it’s a pretty low-tou…

If this pricing model described in these tweets is actually accurate once R2 is released and once AWS responds (assuming that R2 doesn’t suck for other reasons) then this is busine…

Apples entire dev relations team needs a complete overhaul. Pour money into big bounties - they have it! Then use that as justification for charging 30% IAP. Also maybe be nicer to…

I think the intended attack is to fake an apple login page with the link. You open an actual apple.com page first when you find a tag - so pretty safe to scan - then if you open th…

Heard from support that replying with negative responses are likely to shut it up. They track the rate of negative feedback and high negative feedback will kill it over time.

Because trans people deserve basic civil liberties? And who better to fight for them than the American Civil Liberties Union

Can you name the companies and a source? I recall a few weeks ago there was a HN post about congressman but I didn’t recall seeing cyber security in the list.

The alternative story told internally is that the predecessor to AWS originated from a white-label storefront offering sold to traditional retailers entering the digital world in t…
