2FA TOTP Generator app screenshot
As the solo engineer at a tiny startup, I need to use every tool available to work as efficiently as possible.
That includes AI.
Sometimes it produces garbage and sometimes it's perfect on the first try.
Today I vibe coded a 2FA TOTP generator app in about 5 minutes with a single short prompt π€―

Web Components, Self Hosting and Home Hacking with the Creator of Home Assistant
This recent episode of @syntax.fm featuring @paulusschoutsen.nl from @home-assistant.io was fantastic. He seems like a genuinely great guy who is a passionate steward of one of the largest OSS projects around.
A must listen if you're into web dev and/or smart home

Lambda function average duration
128 MB of memory is a terrible default even for simple Lambda functions, especially those that back anything user-facing.
Serverless Framework had a good idea to default to 1024 MB while AWS CDK and AWS SAM still default to 128 MB.
Who can spot when I gave this poor function more memory?

AWS console dog gif
AWS Users: "The AWS console is too confusing and difficult to use."
AWS: "How about a cute robot dog gif?"

It's a fancy wrapper for AWS Lambda + a CDN with a better dev experience and significant markup.

The protagonist is really the family but it is narrated by the father. The author wrote it for his kids.

Amazon: Our customer service chat bot uses a powerful LLM that can predict if you might want to return a recent order and suggest a nearby drop-off location!
Customer: Can I just get a price adjustment (the item went on sale after I ordered) instead of returning it?
Amazon: ...absolutely not.

SaaS Monthly/Yearly/Lifetime pricing
Interesting pricing model for a SaaS that I saw today:
Monthly, Yearly or Lifetime pricing where the Lifetime price is equal to 3x the Yearly price
Getting the Lifetime payment up front seems nice (especially if you see high churn) while sacrificing long-term recurring revenue.
What do you think?

Happy update - AWS seems to have resolved whatever the issue was here. I checked several AWS accounts that I manage and Bedrock quotas have been restored without me doing anything.
Still worrying that this could break without warning and it would be great to see better messaging around the issue.

Fair point. It's tough for this to be 100% accurate in isolation without knowing the full scope of how you're consuming the resource. This is still great for getting a rough number and better than what must framework documentation tells you about their bundle sizes (nothing)

Something that every web framework should have in their docs - bundle sizes for individual components or imports. π€―
