> How could I get the same feeling of fulfilment from the most amazing vacation?
If you can't answer this, you are going to have a very bad time when you retire.

Amazon Grocery Tech | Full Time | ONSITE Hybrid (in-offce 3 days p/w) | Brisbane, Australia
I'm a developer in grocery working in Brisbane. We're currently hiring for grads / recent grads (<24 months exp, with some flexibility there). We mostly write software for outbound grocery (delivery + pickup) worldwide, for both Amazon and 3P brands. We have fun and exciting challenges to suit all interests. Feel free to email me if you want to learn more.
The office in Brisbane is a beautiful place to work (there are flexible working options blending at home and in office), and I can personally vouch for the teams in Brisbane being awesome to work for, with interesting and fulfilling work.
From our job ad: > ... The features you build have direct impact on customers lives. You will work with scientists and engineers to optimize fulfillment processes, reducing costs and improving quality. You will experiment with new ideas, turning the successful ones into full production systems whilst failing fast and learning from those which are not. We obsess over reducing the time and cost in fulfilling a customer's order.

> Maybe there should be a system to filter actual complex cases up layers of specialty
I mean, this is normally your GP referring you to a specialist, and 99% of the time that works. But when your specialist doesn't even know enough to know where to refer you next you end up in a weird space that is incredibly challenging to navigate. It would be good if there was an "expert diagnosticians" group that you could go to when even specialists are stumped. They could help navigate referrals to specialists, tests-of-treatment and enrollment in trials (which is a whole other minefield).

This is literally the point of the article. That's all posted inside the twitter walled garden. Great content, wrong platform.

This is the hardest part about trunk based development - changing your way of thinking. Everything needs to be decomposed into much smaller changes, and you need to think about the impact of each of them being deployed into production (since that will happen). New features should exist behind some kind of feature gating or dial-up capability, or a new API version with restricted access, etc.
That seems painful but it's less painful than merge hell or deploying a change with a massive delta to production and needing to roll it back and unpick what went wrong.

agree, nothing wrong with something like an `llm` prefix

It actually makes sense for Amazon integrating this with the whole browser based shell thing (which is a sensible secure default for a lot of people).
Having something with autocomplete that works seamlessly with their services seems like a better idea than a plain prompt if you're going to use their shell. Hopefully they do something sensible and customer-centric with the telemetry stuff, that seemed to be the big drawback for many.

"Oi mate. You havin' a good night?"
(This implies that you are not mates, and may in fact be about to start having a not-good night)

longform.org used to be my go-to, but they have stopped curating long form content. Would be interested if anyone could recommend a replacement.

It was ultimately Bezos' API mandate that made this (and the cloud as we know it) happen:
> 1. All teams will henceforth expose their data and functionality through service interfaces.
>...
>5. All service interfaces, without exception, must be designed from the ground up to be externalizable. That is to say, the team must plan and design to be able to expose the interface to developers in the outside world. No exceptions.
>6. Anyone who doesn’t do this will be fired.
>7. Thank you; have a nice day!

us-east-1 is made up from several availability zones, it is extremely unlikely to go offline for months. If a catastrophe of a scale to do that happened, some datacenters being offline wouldn't be the headline news.

Consider getting an at-home sleep study, you may have sleep apnea. I did, and I did, and now I wear a device (not a CPAP machine!) that helps significantly. I don't sleep any longer but my sleep is less interrupted and I get more deep and REM sleep. I feel 1000 times better for it.

How are you measuring your sleep? I have an Oura ring and while it's not the most accurate thing in the world it does a pretty good job of total sleep and phases for me. The readiness scores are also really useful as a yardstick and comparison against how rested you feel. I got one because I have mild sleep apnea and wanted to be able to track the efficacy of the solutions I was trying out.
