What a job... I get to build and play with servers, OS's and get paid for it. Building a Windows Server 2025 right now just to see how it works and what changes need to be made to our automatons. Plus get to build Linux boxes all day long as well. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

I used a ChatGPT service to write an AWS lambda function in python, and it was actually better than the half written code I was finding in documentation and other blog posts. By the time I got this answer I didn’t need it, but mostly surprised at how well it turned out.
