Got really in the weeds here and started looking up how to implement VPC and subnet definitions in a CloudFormation template to avoid bash scripting. Really painful stuff.
On the bright side, volunteering for a COVID19 initiative and shipped this in two hours: https://agitated-aryabhata-d1ea72.netlify.app/
Commit is
d46c6d6f1b73241ca6a4b3a99a9d3da2fff4d1e5.I think I do have the ability to ship quickly, it's just that this is more of a learning thing. I think companies are 1-5% tech execution and the rest non-technical work and I think it's just if I want to start a company in the future I don't want to get clobbered by the easiest thing on the menu.
