If you use CDK/Infra-as-code equivalent, what are your biggest pain points with it?

For example, I work in a big company with many teams responsible for small components. My team has an API contract with our mobile app team and sometimes the mobile app team decides to change something in the API request format without telling us. We use Jira tickets to communicate these requirements. Wondering if anyone else has had this experience, of this other team is just being lazy.

Hi, I'm working on an open source project where I'd like to incorporate ISP outage data. This service claims that it reports accurate ISP outage data, that is not crowdsourced like downdetector: https://www.thousandeyes.com/outages/faq

Quote: "Q: Where does outage data come from?

A: ThousandEyes agents located across the Internet perform billions of measurements each day, yielding a massive data set that includes network interface and application server-level information on when and where network traffic is disrupted and applications are unavailable."

Anyone wager a guess on what websites they are scraping, and what measurements they are making to come up with this data?

Since the start of covid, I have been working remotely (as most) and I'd like to set myself up to organically find a cofounder soon. I don't have many close tech friends. Do you have any recommendations?

I thought the best way to do this would be to apply for a graduate CS program and go back to school, make some friends.

"Wait.. you're applying to grad school just to make friends to meet a potential cofounder? Why not just keep working in industry and make friends through that?"

Yes. Since I graduated from school and went straight to remote work (which most definitely is impossible to establish new genuine friendships with people through) I have no idea if staying in the working world is a genuine way to make friends and potential cofounders.

And What about the cofounder matching services? Is there any that you have tried that have worked out for you? Im very skeptical of these but open to hearing stories.

Thanks!
