I'm learning AWS, making a VPC, RDS, EC2, ALB, etc. So much clicking! I assume folks get sick of this and script it all with the CLI? Run a script to spin up another hosting environment. And then folks probably get sick of THAT. Is this what things like Pulumi are for?

It has been such a pleasure and a privilege to collaborate with Brice on SQLite/.NET things. I am feeling a sense of loss about this change, but important things first: Brice, thank you, and Godspeed.

Ha. I saw this and immediately thought, “how timely — I’m in a similar situation now”. So I clicked to read the article, and it’s from 2010, and I was mentioned in it. Such a blast from the past…
