Are you looking for work? Having trouble with job interviews?

You're not alone. Ask me the Difficult Interview Questions, so that I may give my spiteful answer and possibly additional insight.
"I wasn't aware that child abuse was still in vogue."

"Aligned with market rate. Let's first figure out whether or not I'm a fit for the role; if so I can assure you that compensation won't be a barrier."

"I want to insert a static header into every HTTP response, can I do that on CloudFront?"

"Sure, write a custom Lambda@Edge function to do it."

Excuse me--what? Pay you to dynamically run code for every request to inject a single header? Are you serious?
"Did you just now discover this, Corey?"

No, I discovered it in 2017 and not a single blessed thing has changed since then. lastweekinaws.com/blog/a-static-…
"Well there are super technical reasons for this."

Okay, sure, fine, whatever. Magically @fastly has worked around that, but I'll suspend credulity.

Lambda@Edge then becomes an implementation detail. Why do I have to worry about it instead of you?

Time for me to tend my GitHub Issues!

github.com/DuckbillGroup/…
The first PR comes from @benbridts. Image
I suppress my reflex of smashing the Merge button sight unseen and actually read it.

Well that's embarrassing. I briefly contemplate fixing and rebasing main, then asking him WTF he's talking about, but that would be petty. Image

Okay, let me break my own rule and put on my Prediction Pants for a minute.

The day @GitHub gets a "deploy to @Azure" button that Just Works @awscloud is going to find itself in serious trouble.
I don't see what @chetanp does with respect to GCP, but it's a mighty big industry. I suspect we're both pawing at different parts of the elephant.

The single biggest impediment to @azure near-term looks like Old Microsoft playing stupid licensing games to win stupid prizes.
But consider this for a second: You're a developer puttering around in your idle hours. Your @azure free tier resources / limits are a function of your @GitHub activity (social or otherwise). Suddenly it's gamified and profoundly compelling.

While I'm waiting to get unstuck in the @azure thread, let's check in over at @GCPcloud. I just want to invoke this function via cron, buddy.
I need a key value store. I'm immediately confronted by a one-way door.
To enable a Cloud Function, I of course need to first enable the Cloud Build API. Because CI/CD is *IMPORTANT*.

I can't decide if I love or hate this requirement.

Last night's @azure discussion got me curious.

First I have to verify a phone number (Google Voice not allowed), now they want a credit card as well. Which box do I leave blank to *not* get information, tips, and offers?
So far this isn't the experience I had hoped for.
Now to figure out where to generate API keys. Security Center? Doesn't look like it.
