AWS Amazon Q was surprisingly helpful at saving me money

I was doing some end of year audit and noticed the aws bill higher than i thought i should be. Normally this is a PITA to track down orphaned crap and review all the details, but for the sake of laziness i tried out the AWS i guess its called amazon q and it looked into all my costs and helped me track down some orphaned elastic ips and some other noise and save me about 50% of my monthly bill from just left over experimental clutter. Nothing else, just passing along something that i normally would have groaned at dealing with and instead was pleasantly surprised

Trying to be fair, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s the key detail here.

Trying to be fair, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here so the response doesn’t surprise me Curious how this plays out.

To be fair, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s why opinions are all over the place At least from my perspective.

Putting bias aside, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s what people are responding to Curious how this plays out. That’s the impression it gives me.

I get the idea, this feels rushed rather than thought through That part stands out. Let’s see what happens next.

the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context. Others will probably see it differently.

If we’re being honest, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified That’s what makes this interesting. Feels like there’s more coming here. At least from my perspective.

Stepping back, this depends heavily on what happens next which is why the comments look the way they do Hard to say where this lands long term.

Without overthinking it, this depends heavily on what happens next and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what makes this interesting. Not convinced this is settled yet.

Honestly, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Let’s see what happens next. Others will probably see it differently.

the signal is clear, the strategy less so which is why this is getting picked apart Curious how this plays out. That’s the impression it gives me.
