    If someone who worked for my company lost their spouse, was fired during that ordeal, and then WAS WORRIED I’D RETALIATE AGAINST THEIR NEW COMPANY, I don’t think I could live with the sense of shame I’d feel. I mean that sincerely.

    This article is heart wrenching, but the real screaming fire that Amazon should be leaping at is this line: “He asked to be anonymous because he fears retaliation against his current employer.”

    Brogrammer culture is such a toxic thing. I despise it, and I loath all who are part of it or who defend it.

    Hey , how do you name your Apple devices? I'm running out of naming conventions that make sense... Halp!

    Which server naming convention are you most proud of? I'll go first: Characters from "Dune."

    It sounds like we're not going to see Stackery, the product, under AWS branding. That's...fine? But if AWS does not empower these folks to continue the broad strokes of what they've been doing, it will be a huge missed opportunity.

    We know how that happens. "What's a Stackery?" "Google it." That was misunderstood, so AWS acquired the company to shut the product down.

    Stackery shutting down in five weeks. Shit. It has been a welcome and much needed level of abstraction above the insanity that is AWS. I honestly would have paid 10x what they charged for it.

    AWS doesn't generally do acquisitions like this.

    The fact that this is how Imgur’s acquisition announcement appears says much.

    Yes, Greg. Because we evaluated them critically before spending millions of dollars on a signature in a JSON file containing a hyperlink to someone else's server with, in nearly every case, no guarantee of longevity.
