Strong agree with this tweet. Learning Azure after 2 years of GCP and many more of AWS. They are on a pretty interesting path.

Ancient sysadmin wisdom: don’t use ‘>’ as part of your shell prompt. You’re one copy/paste error away from truncating a file.
There’s a reason root’s ‘#’ prompt gets interpreted as a comment.

“Honeycode! It’s an app for people who can’t code. Y’know, like your honey! Who is probably a woman, right bro?”
How on earth is @awscloud so flabbergastingly bad at this so consistently?
AWS announces Honeycode, a cloud-based tool that it hopes will help non-coders build apps (@jordannovet / CNBC)

“on registration you will receive an email with a invitation to the WebEx...” nope, i’m out at that point. Have to suffer enough VC software in these dark days of 2020 to add WebEx to the mix.
