“The point is that unnoticed social shortfalls destroyed this high-visibility, tightly managed program. This is unfortunately a common problem for teams of technical people.”
“An outcome-based approach allows you to be accurate, more adaptive, and take action to course-correct and own the results you gather relative to the final destination you wish to be.”

Migrated https://github.com/mweagle/Sparta to AWS SDK v2 and https://github.com/awslabs/goformation for all CFN creation. Good opportunity to wind it down (PR pending).
PR merged - see https://github.com/mweagle/Sparta/blob/master/CHANGES.md#-v300---the-paydown-edition-.
Did manage to add support for https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/now-aws-step-functions-supports-200-aws-services-to-enable-easier-workflow-automation/ along the way.
“The early results of this project have been very promising. Compared to our previous solution, we’ve reduced the number of test tasks on our integration branch by 70%! Compared to a CI system with no test selection, by almost 99%! “

“Consequently, configuration differences between studies have led to conflicting claims between researchers with some stating that gQUIC outperforms TCP and others stating the exact opposite.”
“Our findings demonstrate that most performance differences can be attributed to developer design and operator configuration choices, e.g., selection of congestion control algorithms or cipher suites.”
