i have like...thoughts about heroku stuffs and i wrote about them and i find myself almost...incapable of posting. i shared it with close folks first, group chats, dms. i edited it, over and over and now there is a secret section of notes with basic auth over it. and i almost dont want to share, it's so intimate. but here it is. there are thoughts in here that i could pull into six other pieces, about start up post acquistion dynamics, centralization vs decentralization things, engineering practices, innovation and culture stuffs but a;lksdj;a hey u know what? here it is.

someone snapped a photo of me getting frisked going through security before speaking at the city hall public hearing for 105 Keefer luxury condo project proposed by Beedie

so i was ready to talk shit to developers cuz the project not only displaces ppl it’s also bad at making money

also what a name for a greedy developer, Beedie llllllllolllllll

AWS Cost Explorer hashtag MCP Server is available: https://awslabs.github.io/mcp/servers/cost-explorer-mcp-server/, docs https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws-cloud-financial-management/aws-announces-billing-and-cost-management-mcp-server/ p neat for exploration

it a new release so I'd suggest playing around with it, don't get rid of ur folks working on cost-to-serve yet. cloud computing and #AWS is full of traps

small gotcha example using https://awslabs.github.io/mcp/servers/cloudtrail-mcp-server/

doc assumes existing knowledge with the AWS log ingestion, retention, and analysis ecosystem,w/o which
u may assume CloudTrail Lake is default option for retention & querying against CloudTrail logs(not true & not cost-effective)
