I live in Oregon and have been fishing for as long as I can remember. While I mostly fished for lake trout, we'd fish for salmon in the Columbia river during salmon season. During the off season (winter) I'd fish for sturgeon.

One year my buddy decided to get serious gear and fish for oversized sturgeon. This was purely catch-and-release, barbless hooks. We would sit on the edge of the shipping lanes because that was the deepest part of the river.

(incoming fisherman story)

One day we hooked a gigantic fish, we were in a 24 foot boat and I swear it was longer than that. We pulled it near the boat to unhook it and the thing was amazing! It was covered in battle scars from boat propellers or something, but the weirdest part was that it had a ton of fishing line hanging out of it's ass. Over the years it must've swallowed hooks and line, and it was just swimming around with literally feet of the stuff.

We retrieved our hook and watched it swim back into the depths. I never went oversized fishing after that, but it was incredible to think how old that fish was, what it had been through, etc.

I'm a parent, and Parental Controls are garbage across all services I've used. They seem intentionally confusing and their options feel disconnected from the usage of the products at all. Since nobody uses these controls there is very little support available, so every permission issue I encounter requires me to deep dive and often still fail.

Parental controls for EA games are shit.

Parental controls for Amazon are shit.

Parental controls for Netflix are shit.

Parental controls for YouTube are shit.

Parental controls for Roblox is especially shit. They have games like "Gay Test" and "Femboy Test" marked as All Ages which is bananas to me.

The end result is that my kids can't use these services without an adult present, which defeats the purpose of having Parental Control in the first place.

Claude Code supports using API credits, and you can turn on Extra Usage and use API credits automatically once your session limit is reached.

This confused me for a while, having two separate "products" which are sold differently, but can be used by the same tool.

Interesting product! Not sure if I'm getting this right, docs seem pretty sparse so please forgive me. Here are a couple questions:

1. Do you support tagging resources?

2. You mention provisioning Pulumi resources, are you "simply" a wrapper around Pulumi? If so, are you relying on Pulumi for state management or does Stelvio have it's own state manager?

3. Do you support cloudfront? Imo this is a vital service for building even small production apps, esp if you are serving static assets out of S3.

4. I saw references to API Gateway v1, do you also support v2?

5. One of the cool features is that you're able to handle all the IAM stuff, but can that also be easily modified? Like, if I want to create a new lambda that interacts with an existing dynamodb table, how would I describe that with Stelvio?

Sorry for the pile of questions lol but you got my attention :) You have a lot of competition in this space and I'm curious to see how your project will evolve. Best of luck!

To be fair, AWS service teams don't always expose all features/options through cloudformation and you end up having to hit the API to manage them.

Exploring a codebase tells you WHAT it's doing, but not WHY. In older codebases you'll often find weird sections of code that solved a problem that may or may not still exist. Like maybe there was an import process that always left three carriage returns at the end of each record, so now you got some funky "lets remove up to three carriage returns" function that probably isn't needed. But are you 100% sure it's not needed?

Same story with data models, let's say you have the same data (customer contact details) in slightly different formats in 5 different data models. Which one is correct? Why are the others different?

Ultimately someone has to solve this mystery and that often means pulling people together from different parts of the business, so they can eventually reach consensus on how to move forward.

Mikeal was instrumental in helping me get established in the node community when it was super tiny. Being around him was a joy! He made those around him feel part of something special. He made me feel like I belonged.

I was a camp counselor at node camp three years in a row. He created such a magical experience that I cried when I got home, I wanted to live in nodecamp forever. I still do.

Seeing some of the folks posting in here makes it hurt worse. I have so many memories, like I remember all of us riding the bus back and forth to the camp, so much laughter and fucking around. Hanging at each others houses, going to meetups, and just being part of something special. Talking shit thru pull requests. Late night dorking around on meatspac.es etc etc etc I could go on for days.

Thank you Mikeal for all the good times.

Ex-cobol guy here, the work was a blast! I was working on the Lawson erp for a non-profit, mostly customizing the software for their specific use case. I loved it because the tools were crazy, the language limited, and the system itself was high value to the org. Debugging took forever but the fixes were often really small changes. I often had to go into the database (oracle) and clean up the data by hand. Such fun!

I crave novelty and have a love for bad technology. I was an early nodejs adopter and loved es4 but newer versions of the language is too easy to use lol!

It’s also possible to work on projects, or in languages, or on systems where resource consumption isn’t a high concern. I wrote cobol for sun and hpux and these big old systems had plenty to go around. Important software comes in all shapes and sizes, as do their developers.

I have to disagree as you have no evidence to support your position.

Based on the information provided, it seems highly unlikely to me that a guy who passed up an easy payday for a baseball would get an attorney friend to lie for what is likely going to be a very small claim. He still attended the game, and another game a couple days later, which likely rules out substantial suffering. So, given the low potential payout what would be his motivation? Simplest explanation is the guy just fell through an ill-maintained bridge. Could happen to anyone, really!

.....yes.

And just like that, you owe Australia $11k.

A few years back I purchased a deer rifle from a local sporting goods store and when I got home I realized they had forgotten to remove their trigger lock. It was about a 30min drive back to the store so I just picked the lock and tossed it aside. Naturally, the next day the store calls looking for their lock and they are very adamant I should return their equipment, but they were less inclined to actually drive over to my place and pick it up.
