i spent a day hacking on something with Claude Code only to realize this afternoon that there was a better option if only i had read the documentation a little more closely.

it’s also frustrating because the anti-AI angle could simply be that AWS hasn’t figured out healthy organizational patterns for LLM usage (they admitted it!) and they’ve been having reliability issues because of that.
Roger Ebert:
