> Ah I see the problem now! You’re creating a DNS record for DynamoDB but you don’t need to do that because AWS handles it. Let me remove it for you!

> I’ll run your tests to verify the change.

> Tests are failing, let me check for the cause.

> The end-to-end tests can’t connect to DynamoDB. I will try to fix the issue.

> There we go! I commented out the failing tests and they’re all passing now.

The one I saw was someone saying they just landed their first PR on AWS. The body said they used AI and can’t wait for their performance review.

The one jftuga posted is a bit more compelling.
