How does this compare with https://connectrpc.com/ as that project seems to share similar goals

No, that is muscle memory. If I play the piano with my eyes closed, I'm not visualising the piano, I'm focusing on the feel and positions of my fingers

GeoIP is a product from Maxmind, the post does not actually implicate Maxmind at all.

Perhaps a better title is "Google Maps location data is used to localise other Google services"

No CTO either

Wait. You tracked users after they opted out of tracking? How else did you get this data?

Tesla (of course!) has done this http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/21/luxury/elon-musk-tesla-hot-c...

https://buildkite.com has all those features, and very easy to work with.

It's a hybrid hosted model -you supply your own workers (they provide a CFN template to make that part easy), everything else (e.g. web UI/API) is hosted

Oh and by the way it was actually your https://cloudonaut.io/your-single-aws-account-is-a-serious-r... post that indirectly inspired this tool, so thanks!

We consolidated users into a bastion account, ran into annoyances with CFN, and have been using iamy ever since for change management across all our accounts (more of a writeup at https://99designs.com.au/tech-blog/blog/2015/10/26/aws-vault...)

I'd say the biggest advantage is that it slots in easily to an existing environment that is not necessarily managed strictly.

I've found depending on how strict your change management policies are, IAM creds can collect cruft over time as people push new policies in ad-hoc. So iamy is handy for such a situation

- iamy can sync in both directions - pull and push IAM config. So you can easily pull down the ad-hoc changes

- In order to use CFN you need to have access, so there is a chicken-egg scenario if you want to manage ALL users in config

- iamy gives you a nice execution plan of aws cli commands, CFN can be opaque

And iamy does ignore any resource managed by CFN, so it works well as complimentary tool.

I found trying to manage and reason about AWS access control super confusing (especially across accounts), so I built a lightweight tool to dump and load IAM config to yaml files. https://github.com/99designs/iamy

It has recently started becoming popular quite organically, so I might just write a blog post on it soon.

Actually, Lennart proposed some years ago exactly how you could "fix" the OS to apply the ideas from containerisation. http://0pointer.net/blog/revisiting-how-we-put-together-linu...

I've had success with MoneyDance. Double entry, cross-platform, full featured, customisable reports

Went down this path already.

It was OK for a while with a small codebase, but the problem is that you need to give up your simple direct Go code for magic reflection.

I discovered there are better and more idiomatic ways to do this type if thing without resorting to dependency injection.

No, this is the Melbourne Shuffle (Zombie edition) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQgMSl0ucTE#t=158

I actually took this a step further a few months back and implemented unicode's "Skeleton" algorithm https://github.com/mtibben/tr39-confusables-go

This is useful for example, to ensure that users don't try and spoof each other's usernames. Simply create and store a skeleton string for each username, and keep a unique constraint on it
