  Not related to VPC, but I'm a big fan of the author. Loved his book "Grokking Algorithms: An Illustrated Guide for Programmers and Other Curious People" when it came out a few years ago. If you know anyone struggling with common data structures and algorithms, this book can make it fun for them.

  I was pretty late to the AWS bandwagon (maybe 2019ish) but I had no idea there was a point when your resources were directly addressable by other customers.

  I'm surprised they got anyone signing up at all - though I suppose back then having just about everything directly connect to the internet was much more of the norm
