So let me get this straight: Amazon packages open source software (Linux, Postgres etc) in a way that is an abstracted service (RDS, EBS, Elastic Load Balancer). They add so many abstracted building blocks that you need a special skill set to manage them (Aws Certified Solutions Architect) instead of knowing how to do this with bare metal or a container image running in your own data center.

Amazon has made scalable, performant, high-availability systems constructable by a 10 person team that serves millions or even billions of people. Before AWS it took thousands of people and billions in capital investment to do so. Sure, google and Microsoft and IBM joined the party, but AWS was first and remains the best holistically.

Could you expand on this?

I can't tell if you mean to launch a service/company or if you're talking about some large scale.. thing.. I haven't heard of.

Maybe at some point there will be an antitrust lawsuit to unbundle them - and say have compute or storage be provided by a different vendor, all from within their aws management console.

I don't care if AWS is big and bundled as long as they use standard interfaces. Linux is big and it doesn't really matter that there's not much competition. I don't care what system (or even virtual machines or containers) runs my program.

If there were an open standard for "way to upload and store and serve files on the web", and S3 happened to implement that standard, and other companies and open-source projects did as well, then it wouldn't matter to me if AWS was the bundling king or not.

There was nothing magical about the design of Unix, either. It's not the only way to make an operating system, or even the best way. It survived because we got many competing implementations which were basically source-compatible. It really took off when we got free clones that anyone could run on their PC.

Instagram comes to mind. 13 employees and $1B acquisition.

Hard to imagine that without AWS.

The code review feature seems too expensive to run on every PR automatically (to me): $0.75 per 100 lines of code. From their example pricing: "if you have a typical pull request with 500 lines of code, it would only cost $3.75 to run CodeGuru Reviewer on it." I wonder if it's actually good enough to justify that price.

PR I sent yesterday, line changes: +2,703 −3,529. That's like 50 bucks just for that PR.

dude I hope that was the result of updating yarn.lock or similar, otherwise good luck to your reviewer!

You seem to assume that the code review tool can do everything that a human code reviewer can.

On the other hand, a machine will not get tired or bored where a human most definitely will if the diff is anywhere near that 500 lines

I disagree. I regularly review PRs with more than 500 changed lines/20+ changed files. I read every single line. I put the same amount of effort into reviewing code as I do writing it; every software engineer should.

It's not an AWS system or service at all though... This is like saying that using React will lead you to be locked into Facebook?

Why does it have Amazon in the name then? Amazon Coretto?

Because it's maintained by Amazon? But it's entirely open source: https://github.com/corretto/corretto-8 with a very permissive license (GPLv2)

It is not impossible for you to earn second income on H1-B, it's just that the secondary source would need its on visa petition. DISCLAIMER: I am not an attorney. More importantly, I am not your attorney. The above is not legal advice. If you desire legal advice, consult a competent, licensed attorney in your area.

What's the probability that such an unsponsored visa would be approved, and within even a remotely relevant timeframe?

Zero. H1B, by definition requires a specialty and a sponsor who can fire you (I don't know the exact phrasing but this is what prevents someone with an H1B from starting their own company)

Nope, it's mostly code. It's a gnarly PR that atomically delivers a feature (and removes the feature that the new one replaces), but this looks about right for my weekly productivity overall, except I usually submit it in smaller PRs, and the delta is mostly lines added.

At this point, S3 IS the standard for that. And Google's and Microsoft's offering all mimic that API. This could happen for all other of their services.

> I wonder if it's actually good enough to justify that price.

If it can spot a lot of issues (performance, security, bug, etc), $3.75 is definitely a good deal to do it once a while but not on every single changes (e.g. fixing a typo in the code comment)
