One week left of my (unplanned) sabbatical, and then on to the next thing... I have a good feeling about this one.
Well, that didn't work out how I had hoped.

Sad news: Frederick Brooks, the famed computer architect who designed OS/360, died Thursday. A true icon, who won the Turing Award in 2000, Brooks was one of the great thinkers in computing. Industry tributes are pouring in the celebration of his contribution and life.

Instead of crawling all objects within a bucket, Glue now supports incremental crawling. This can save real money! 💸 1️⃣ Crawler starts periodically (e.g., once a day) 2️⃣ Crawler fetches event notifications from SQS 3️⃣ Crawler only scans through modified S3 objects

I've never kept it a secret that I'm not a fan of TDD. I believe in prototype driven development (PDD) with a focus on data driven design (DDD) I believe the general engineering cycle should be prototype, solidify, refactor, test, minimize, reduce, and simplify in that order.
