If you don't want to connect to the internet, you can select Basic TV at setup and get the equivalent of a dumb TV.
I asked it to do something a little more complex. In three tries, it got about 75% of the way there, then just...ground to a halt. Each time I asked, it took a completely different approach. I mean completely, ranging from wrapping native APIs to spawning a process to run commands.
If you like to write code, keep going with it. I look at ChatGPT like Jarvis from Iron Man, or SolidWorks for mechanical engineers.

Personally, I was excited for serverless, but after using API Gateway and Lambda to serve a simple REST API it seemed like more work compared to using a load balancer to route requests to a container running in ECS. ECS can autoscale too, so you can scale up and down as required.
When customers request single tenancy in the cloud, where single tenancy is referring to an AWS account, being able to automate account management will be important when trying to scale.
For example, the Surface Laptop Studio form factor in MBP form would be really nice.
I'd like to use the iPad form factor for managing photos and reading books. But when I've used an iPad, I usually end up wanting a keyboard, so I add one, then I realize I have a MBP that can't do as much.
So to me it makes sense to take a 13" MBP, add touch to the screen, and hinge the screen in such a way that it turns into a thick tablet.
Yes. I went to see a band maybe six to eight years ago. The lead singer asked the crowd to buy some merchandise a few times, and went on to explain that since the shift to streaming happened, they don't make nearly as much from radio play and album sales, so depend on touring income much more than they used to.
At least dynamic pricing gets money to the artist that would have just gone to the scalper before. Ticketmaster also has a "Verified Fan" feature where you can request tickets (https://blog.ticketmaster.com/verifiedfan-faq/), with the goal of preventing bots from buying them in the first few seconds when they are made available. While tickets can be sold/transferred for Verified Fan events, I'm not sure if there's an option to prevent sales over face value.
Yes, which is why selling tickets for more than face value can get you kicked out of the club.
You can sell tickets for face value, but not above or they'll be invalid and you might be kicked out of the club.
I'm going to guess that not all artists have the ability to make this happen, but it's helped us avoid the Ticketmaster and scalping craziness.
One challenge was that, while we were lucky to score some talented systems engineers who joined dev teams, it wasn't easy to communicate to leadership that owning and managing infrastructure from the public internet all the way into the database requires knowledge and experience that software engineers might not have.
I tried putting together a PluralSight channel for us to use internally to help onboard new team members. We had access to AWS sandbox accounts where we had no proprietary data, and could build infra as needed to learn and/or experiment with ideas/designs/new services.
You can target people with this experience when hiring, but just getting qualified devs was hard a year ago, let alone people who also had systems experience/knowledge. A lot of the candidates worked somewhere with a QA team who tested their code, a dev ops team who managed a CI/CD process and managed releasing their code, a database team who owned the database cluster, a networking team who owned networking infrastructure, etc.
Really what you're looking for is somebody who likes to code, but also is interested in systems enough to at some point go read the RFC, run Wireshark, etc. I know a little about networking because I ran my own firewall on OpenBSD years ago, have been hosting e-mail and web for over 20yrs, etc. We got lucky with a few hires who lived and breathed code and systems engineering, but it will be challenging to retain people like that in a hot market.
At the end of it all, I couldn't really come up with a way to effectively accelerate learning these skills and getting that experience.
I started the same day as a new grad, and will never forget when, at the end of the day, he said "you mean I have to keep learning?" Yes, yes we do. Still do.
edit: I'd be interested in working on putting content together if people think it would be valuable.
No money came out.
He called the support number on the machine.
They said "before we proceed, please humor me, put your hand in each pocket, and check the money is not there."
The money was there.
On the other hand, sometimes in the afternoon I will break out the scale, grinder, kettle, Chemex, locally roasted coffee, and take a few minutes.
Neither setup is expensive, just different takes on the same thing.
I think this is possible using GitHub Codespaces as well…if you have a Java project with a Maven POM, the deps in the POM will get loaded at runtime.
I haven’t tried Python yet, but would imagine it’s similar. It’s all containerized, so you effectively have CI/CD you just don’t see it.
Then I got a job writing BASIC around the time I was in high school, and by the time I went to college, I was lucky, knew what I wanted to do, and got accepted into the Computer Science program as a freshman.
Display advertising will show you products that you have expressed an interest in today.
Streaming video has ad slots similar to traditional linear TV because it's what people are used to. There is the opportunity to do much much more.
What I could see happening is content changing to be tailored to the viewer. This would both decrease subscriber churn in the increasingly competitive streaming space, as well as add a feature to advertise via the content itself.
You like the pants? Point your remote at them to purchase with a single click. Honestly, I could see Amazon sponsoring streaming content for that purpose. AWS has streaming services and Amazon has been doing the logistics for decades.
The IntelliJ Code With Me feature is worth trying: https://www.jetbrains.com/code-with-me/
It's more about the categorization and impact than the implementation. Feel free to send me an e-mail if you have questions.
