@PippaCrerar Yup, TFL had £700 million a year in funding cuts under George Osborne, even with that cut Sadiq was able to reduce the deficit. Pre-pandemic TFL had 72% of it's funding via fares, one of the highest in the world. Any drop in rider numbers was going to impact it heavily.

Copilot can have a huge impact on society as a whole, but it needs to be open. Open it up to scrutiny, verification and public contribution. Open model, open data, open algorithm. Copilot is going to push bias into your code, but you will have no idea what that bias is.

What Chris said. AWS has killed product led developer advocacy and consolidated it into a single team to own dev experience across AWS. My opinion is that this will fail. It puts developers further away from product teams, and AWS is too broad for one team to cover effectively.

So AWS Fargate got a massive scaling upgrade under the hood, without many people noticing. This big advantage of fully managed platforms is these kind of improvements just happen without any user interaction for free.

So here's the thing to be aware of with almost all new AWS service announcements. The new service is only useful to a very small number of users. The high level pitch of the service might sound like it will meet your needs, but most often you'll find it's missing key features.
