What I usually do, is I have what I call a “public” email. This is a gmail account I use to log in in any paywall website or any service that requires an account to just see some content and I don’t care who has that email, as I just ignore any email that arrived to that account.

"IA argues that its digital lending makes it easier for patrons who live far from physical libraries to access books and that it supports research, scholarship, and cultural participation by making books widely accessible on the Internet. But these alleged benefits cannot outweigh the market harm to the Publishers…."

I never had enough money to get the books I wanted, sometimes getting to a library wasn't that easy. IA (and other platforms) helped me a lot. So, seeing this section is really depressing.

Until you need to connect to another service that can not be run locally and it is only accesible within the same Cloud Provider.

Sure it's not impossible to go around that, start mocking or run some alternative locally for debugging but I don't think this extra level of complexity is necessary (at least not always).

Oh god! BrainTool is the extension I've been looking for so long. My note taking usually starts with some bookmarking or link from a forum or post and it was always difficult to be consistent to manually storing each link/bookmark on Obsidian or Joplin so I always end up with a messy bookmark list or notes with missing references.

This is perfect, thank you so much. I'm going to try it.

Exactly. It's not about making developers to do more work, it's about having some "DevOps engineer" or Ops/Infra guy working close with the Dev team, by being involved on the day to day development and decision making. Instead of having to open tickets and waiting X time for it to be resolved by the Infra team (who by the way, a lot of time doesn't fully understand the applications, it's constrains, tech debts, needs, etc).

This! Is not like you can't go beyond what Terraform offers by default. Running CloudFormation stacks from Terraform is a neat way of solving missing apis/integration. And that's exactly what my team did when Terraform was missing a lot of lambdas functionalities. We just declared the CloudFormation Stack for lambdas and then call it from Terraform.
