Awesome news for Claude Code users, who have been in a serious compute crunch the past few weeks. buff.ly/86JDZSB https://www.anthropic.com/news/higher-limits-spacex06 May 2026 20:04 +0000at://did:plc:cpixmtoqs6opsfmfmbrokk5y/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml7ipg6nft23https://bsky.app/profile/lucvandonkersgoed.com/post/3ml4qdvjbul22Woah some of the oldest AWS limits have been broken - IAM now supports 10k roles, 8k character trust policies, and 10k customer managed policies per account! https://aws-news.com/article/2026-05-05-aws-iam-now-provides-higher-maximum-quotas-for-roles-role-trust-policies-instance-profiles-managed-policies-and-identity-providers05 May 2026 17:42 +0000at://did:plc:cpixmtoqs6opsfmfmbrokk5y/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml4qdvjbul22https://bsky.app/profile/lucvandonkersgoed.com/post/3ml3v4c3hfs2hDear diary, today I found my AWS News Frontend repo was missing push restrictions on the main branch. How did I found out? Because Claude Code committed straight to main, triggering an untested production deployment. In other news, The AWS News Feed now has infinite scroll. Oh well.05 May 2026 09:35 +0000at://did:plc:cpixmtoqs6opsfmfmbrokk5y/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml3v4c3hfs2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/lucvandonkersgoed.com/post/3mkzossylen23Pages might have a memory leak.

There are just so many releases, it’s too easy to miss some. But on AWS News the crowd determines the most popular articles, they end up in my inbox every day, and I never miss an important announcement ❤️25 Apr 2026 08:07 +0000at://did:plc:cpixmtoqs6opsfmfmbrokk5y/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkclj2s4nn26https://bsky.app/profile/lucvandonkersgoed.com/post/3mkbbtetxoo23I've followed the hype and tried Caveman. After a few hours, I'm convinced it's a bad idea. By reducing everything to caveman talk, context, nuance and details are lost. LLMs match the output to the input style, so hooga-booga in is hooga-booga out. We all want to save tokens, but this ain't it.24 Apr 2026 19:41 +0000at://did:plc:cpixmtoqs6opsfmfmbrokk5y/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkbbtetxoo23https://bsky.app/profile/lucvandonkersgoed.com/post/3mjwcj4m7nm2fThis is how it starts - Claude Code now denies Opus 4.6 ever even existed.

It's still insane to me how easy this has become for side projects. This was about an hour of work!16 Apr 2026 08:58 +0000at://did:plc:cpixmtoqs6opsfmfmbrokk5y/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjm27ohlhx25https://bsky.app/profile/lucvandonkersgoed.com/post/3mjk6nbdkgn26Do you think The AWS News Feed looks like crap? Personally, I do. And I don't have the skills to do better - so now I'm talking to a design agency to create a proper UI/UX design! But real quality costs real money, and the feed is (and will remain!) free to use. So I'm looking for sponsors!

It has full NFS compatibility, and uses an actual EFS storage layer for active files.
