Spouses of folks on many kinds of visa are allowed to be here, but aren't allowed to work.

Protip: select the items in the canvas you want in your SS and 'copy to clipboard as PNG' instead of a screen shot and you can get transparent PNGs of diagrams or of detailed subsets of a larger diagram easily.

we have an excalidraw MCP for claude, it can easily do both :) (Excalidraw is basically just fancy SVG)

Excalidraw has a 1 click 'sloppiness' change. We do drafts and ideation in 'full sloppy' mode, to indicate to the reader that this is not fully thought through, or a final documented decision. Once we've gotten through discussions and analysis, the final diagram is changed to be 'not sloppy', and the font changed from handwriting to a san serif font.

It's pretty effective to immediately communicate to folks that 'this is a concept' approach. Too many people instantly jump to conclusions about diagrams - if it's written down it must be done / fixed / formal.

Nah, they're still actively selling/implementing the backing service/tech for other orgs.

How do you sanitize hardware between workloads?

My clients (extremely large) AWS based infrastructure experienced no downtime this year. So, if it's based on some random person's clients, it's not clearly better at all.

I don't use cloud flare for anything, so no comment there.

Same capability is now just a storage class in S3.

Having more money than free time but still wanting a thing to get done. Lots of folks pay good money for hobbies (video games, golf fees, bicycle purchases, etc.).

“Everything but a phone” is a tiny tiny percentage of the devices used to consume content on YouTube. It’s not just mobile first, it’s basically only mobile…

There’s lots of those too.

Multiple large scale SAP S4/HANA workloads wasting electrons…

TAMs are super hit and miss. We’ve had great ones (hi Nick!) and not so great ones. ($7-10M/mo customer AWS spend, support is a complicated sliding scale % of that, gogo ES!). Non-ES at smaller customers has been universally useless, except at quota increases.

The service teams don’t talk to each other…
