For me I really like serverless when I’m trying to build a proof of concept or demo for my personal projects. A lot of the services are on the free tier so I’ve built many APIs with user auth, websockets, and ton of other features for nothing in price.
I’ve got a lot of AWS stories as a consultant working with many companies migrating or modernizing in AWS. Not sure what would be most interesting to hear. My big screwups are usually fun to talk about.
I consider this lazy programming. I’ve had it happen a few times but luckily it has been rare for me.
Lemmy does seem to have enough content and user engagement for my needs. I’ve noticed engagement going up the past month but wasn’t sure I was making that up in my head.
I really haven’t felt the need to go back to reddit much. But the niche communities could use a lot more users posting and creating new content.
