AWS, Amazon Web Shit
January 28th, 2021
----------------------------------------

Having to work with AWS, I'm not enjoying the
experience, at all.

Commands are horribly inconsistent.  You can tell
they're mapped 1:1 over a shitty HTTP API.

But glossing over many of the things that I find
annoying, what I really hate is the command line tools.
They are completely unable to UNIX!

Let's talk about manuals?  Instead of going for
manpages, what they do is to embed some man-like help
in the command.  But they had to implement their own
shitty pager, and as a consequence you should *NEVER*
background the process!

If you do, your tty will be inevitably frozen, and
there's no much you can do, since the software rejects
^c and ^z.

The only sensible thing is firing up another shell and
kill(1)ing the bastard.
