<description>Management README I was inspired by an article on Management README&rsquo;s and thought it was high time I do something similar. This is mostly for folks I work with, but I hope it&rsquo;s useful to anyone who interacts with me. I try to keep it up to date, but it may be six-plus months out of date. Hopefully I don&rsquo;t change that much and it&rsquo;s only just me gaining more insight about myself!</description>

<description>I left Facebook to get away from all the hate. But there&rsquo;s community information there I find valuable and so I signed up again (after years away). And my account is suspended!
Somehow I didn&rsquo;t follow their community standards EVEN BEFORE I LOGGED IN! I can tell you that all I ever did was leave Facebook and delete my account there. I certainly never &ldquo;violated thier community standards&rdquo; (as if they really have them with the hate they promote).</description>

<title>Terraform in AWS: use AMI Names not IDs - and is Terraform the right answer still?</title>

<description><p>In AWS the AMI ID for a particular VM image is unique to that region. But it&rsquo;s name is consistent across AWS. When building infra-as-code (such as terraform) use the name, not the ID. And some musings on terraform. Is it still the right answer for infra-as-code?</p></description>

<description>My Software Team Philosophy In my experience, smaller teams of higher-skilled Engineers outperform larger teams of less-skilled Engineers. I don&rsquo;t believe in armies of offshore coders.
Building software is not physical labor, and it’s not something that can be easily broken into parallel parts for development. That approach is often taken, especially when offshoring, but it requires substantial up-front planning and then even more work to test that all the parts fit together at the end.</description>
