No, I only wrote it in Chinese, as my blog mainly targets Chinese readers. I posted it to HN because I hope the AWS staff can receive the feedback, maybe.

#14I'm amazed by how much software development has fragmented in recent decades.
I've gone down the technical / systems programming path: databases, numerical models, compilers, performance optimization, etc.
The terminology, tech stacks, and development practices for web development seem utterly alien to me.

#15Pretty much the entire AWS Code* stack: CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy ... Does any developer use those willingly? Also SAM. I run into a new bug or limitation in SAM every other time I touch it. Really need to ditch it for CDK.
Those three are fairly independent, self-contained, and reasonably useful. Unlike Amplify that creates a bunch of stuff in your account that you don’t really control, or Elastic Beanstalk that creates a bunch of stuff in an account that isn’t even yours! Then there was CodeStar…

#16“Worst” is hard because who has tried all 300 (?) services? Perhaps AppSync is worse, if you step a foot outside the limited use case it was designed for (which is not really documented).

Yeah lol I wasn't confused that the article was in Chinese, I was confused that people were just discussing it casually as though it were plain English. "Is there a translated version of this that I'm missing somewhere?"

The browsers I use either has a button to translate the article (Safari) or did so automatically (Chrome) so I had no trouble reading the article without knowing Mandarin.

#20I've used amplify for a thing now, and I wrote a thing to read out the cloud formation they use so I could grab and copy out some of the nice parts while leaving the rest alone and undeployed It'd be really nice if it was a bunch of CDK constructs you could pull in when you want I don't know how you actually solve this though, since you don't want to have everything defined across two different languages.
