🔥 How I almost destroyed a production EC2 with Terraform A wrong AMI value at a Terraform prompt nearly destroyed a production EC2 instance. Learn what happened, how I caught it, and what I changed to prevent it. devandreacarratta.it/en/technical...

I took notes on paper during a client call. Later I tried to read them but it was hard. So I took a photo and sent it to Claude. It understood the context and fixed everything. Not magic, just less friction. Did you ever try this with AI?

Full remote from a small town in the Italian Alps. No office, no commute. Just me, my computer and the mountains outside. Are you remote too? 👇 #remote #freelance #developer

How much does AWS Transfer Family cost? There is no fixed price, but you can predict it without much effort. And the same tip works for other AWS services too. 👇 blog.devandreacarratta.it/en/aws-trans... #aws #cloud #finops

Italy, full remote, mountains outside the window. This is not a compromise. It is a privilege. Where do you work from? 👇 #italy #remote #freelance

AWS CloudFront is the AWS CDN. I use it a lot. But sometimes you need to force the cache reset. Here is my tip. 👇 blog.devandreacarratta.it/en/aws-cloud... #aws #cloudfront #cdn

I did not like Docker at the start. Too complex. Now I use it every day without thinking. This is how I changed my mind. What tool changed your mind? 👇 #docker #devops #cloud

My customer needed an FTP account with no space limits. My answer was AWS Transfer Family SFTP. Simple to set up, fully managed. Here’s how. 👇 blog.devandreacarratta.it/en/aws-trans... #aws #sftp #cloud

I started with Visual Studio on Windows. Then JetBrains on Mac. Now JetBrains on Linux every day. Each move made me a better developer. What is your daily IDE? 👇 #jetbrains #rider #dotnet

Working full remote means I can work from anywhere. I opened my laptop from three different countries this year. Best meetings I ever had. Where did you work from? 👇 #remote #travel #freelance

JetBrains Rider is my main tool for .NET development. Do you know how to manage secrets in your project without hardcoding them? Here’s my approach. 👇 blog.devandreacarratta.it/en/aws-s3-ia... #dotnet #rider #csharp

I moved from Ubuntu to Fedora after the crash. Same Linux, different feeling. Here is why I made this choice. Have you ever switched Linux distro? 👇 #linux #fedora #developer

Pizza is not just food. It is a philosophy. Simple ingredients, right process, perfect result. Same as good software architecture. Do you agree? 👇 #pizza #developer #life

We are spending our last hours in Japan. Like last time, it was an amazing experience (and amazing food too). Thanks for everything, Japan. See you soon! But… our trip has one more destination before going home.

I ran my first Docker container on EC2. Simple example, but it shows the full flow from image to running instance. It can help you too. 👇 blog.devandreacarratta.it/en/aws-ec2-i... #aws #docker #cloud

My Ubuntu crashed after a system upgrade. Home directory gone. Everything lost. I rebuilt my full dev environment from zero with Fedora. It was painful but useful. Has this ever happened to you? 👇 #linux #developer

My cat finds my keyboard every time I have a deadline. Without fail. Every single time. Does your cat review your code too? 🐱 #cat #remotework #developer

Kyoto 06:30 AM - I was walking to the hotel after my running session. I opened my email and I read “🙌 Welcome back, AWS Community Builder!” My voice broken the silence “YEEEEEEAAAAAHHH!” and after I was speechless for a lot of minutes! Thanks #aws and #awscommunity for this opportunity!

Japan … the next stop will be Kyoto ❤️

How do you connect to an EC2 instance with SSH? I created the certificate directly with Terraform. No manual steps. 👇 blog.devandreacarratta.it/en/aws-ec2-i... #aws #terraform #devops

3 years ago I was on macOS. Then Ubuntu. Then Fedora after a crash. My setup never stopped changing. And every change made me a better developer. What is your current OS? 👇 #linux #developer #devlife

I run ultramarathons. People ask me how I manage long training with a full work schedule. My answer: same as a complex project. Small steps, one at a time. What is your method? 👇 #running #ultramarathon #freelance

After a long flight, we arrived in Singapore at 6:30 am local time. Two hours later, we drank our first cappuccino. I am waiting for the night. I am very tired and I didn’t sleep much during the trip. Caffeine for me, to stay awake and not turn into code. #singapore #holiday

🔥 Asking for a developer friend (me). Leaving next week, gone for a while. Coming back to buy a Mac or a Linux laptop. 🍎 🐧 What’s your experience been? Any laptop you recommend? Would love real stories, not just specs. #linux #macos #developer

@rubyconitaly.bsky.social was not only a conference. It was an unexpected moment for me. I did a lightning talk in English. 4 minutes. It was my first experience and probably the last. I am still in shock. Have you ever done a talk in a second language? 🎤 #rubycon #lightningtalk #aws #terraform

How do you create your first AWS EC2 instance without using the console? I started with a simple Terraform script. Here’s how. 👇 blog.devandreacarratta.it/en/aws-ec2-i... #aws #terraform #iac

Hello! I’m Andrea and this is my first post on Bluesky. I’ll be sharing thoughts about backend development, cloud, IaC and other topics. Feel free to follow along. I love pizza, running and my cats! #developer #cloud #backend #coding
