Microsoft turns to AWS as GitHub faces AI capacity crunch

Interesting to see Anthropic go with xAI and Microsoft go with Amazon.

(Probably just tea leaves. If you wanted to be extra spicy, you’d note that Jassy just threw Fable under the bus.)

Doesn't most of Anthropics revenue come from AWS still?

What kind of vibecoded website is this?

- the worst infinite scroll I've ever seen making it impossible to access the footer

- the title tag doesn't seem to work properly (just shows the URL in the tab title, on Chrome and Firefox)

- 2007-style keyword stuffing in meta keywords

- the entire page is client-side react with a completely empty body?

The agency that built it even proudly states on their website that they vibecode everything: https://gradientnoise.com/

EDIT: Turns out, the articles are mostly AI-generated as well? https://blog.ryanmerket.com/how-i-built-runtimewire-a-one-pe...

They were originally on their own datacenters + huge amounts of burst and ancillary stuff in AWS, the internal push to move away from "the competitor's cloud" after the acquisition was huge and entirely stupid. I'm ex-GitHub and was one of the annoying people constantly saying GitHub should only move where it was provably the best option for GitHub - the third best major cloud provider is likely never it on merits alone.

If this story is true, it's good that they finally realised that GitHub's performance and availability mattered more than using Microsoft's products. It would mean someone finally came to their senses rather than forcing a wholesale push to Azure - but I bet they still want to have it both ways even if they concede some AWS now.

I was recently looking at a Python project to learn a bit about RTC and just generally hack around and try something out.

It was fun and I found the code nice and helpful.

I clicked on the PRs to see if there was anything interesting to look at. I started reading one when I just realised I was just reading someone’s Claude talking to GitHub Copilot. That was when I decided that the Dead Internet Theory had already happened.
