Why don't you use IMDb?


One personal Mac I use daily.

One work laptop, also a Mac.

One iPad I basically never use.

One ChromeBook I literally never use, think it has a broken screen.


This is how many (most?) teams develop at...Amazon. It definitely scales to large teams and large (1000TPS) projects.


Most teams at Amazon are still using Brazil and Apollo (internal build and deploy systems that were brilliant 12 years ago but have aged poorly). CDK is just starting to become more common throughout the company. Many orgs barely use it.

And those systems have the entire Builder Tools org making sure they work.


I had suspected something like that from how basic CRUD operations on AWS can take minutes of latency compared to seconds when running whatever-it-is locally.

At least their solution architects get some moral redemption from peddling these messes..


so this company with 7 developers has the same amount of resources as amazon?


Clearly not, but this is a circular argument. As companies expand in size they naturally increase both their needs and their resources.

Are you arguing that using SaaS developer tools like the ones in this journal entry consumes a greater proportion of engineers' capacity than self-hosting does, and that this cost difference becomes proportionally greater as a company grows? If you're right, perhaps some cloud-based startups and also larger businesses will be eaten up by more nimble, efficient self-hosted competitors.

(I work for a cloud host)


The article clearly states how they scale this down to save on costs and dev time. No mystery here.


Aww I really miss Aaron. I used to be angry but now I'm just sad.


Do you have any responsibilities? Take that 20k and go traveling. Note this may or may not be good advice.


Well it's not Amazon. I genuinely feel that we've got a great doc writing culture.

We obviously write a ton of docs but only when we need to. Personally I code 60% of the time as an IC L5 (software engineer)


Not surprised. I work at a different FANG and we literally have the Scunthorpe problem.


Scuba Diving - it's great, everyone should try it. Although it's fairly expensive as hobbies go.

Equalise early and often!


Picked this up on a complete lark during a trip to Israel in 2019. Did a try-dive in what I later found out was one of the best places in the world to go diving.

Got OW certified just before the pandemic (literally in the last week of feb/2020) and though the pandemic slowed me down a bit i'm now AOW+Nitrox certified and did a two week trip to St Maartin last year to dive for my Birthday.

Really fantastic hobby and suggest everyone try it!


Given how many people browse HN at work it would be super skewed.


Correct. You'd get a lot of people who suddenly seem to live in Columbus, Ohio or other random non-tech spots within USA due to AWS VPN and other such things.


Let's test it
