• Real issues: Does it align licenses? Are the code suggestions secure? Do the suggestions write tests or docs? 
• Maybe issues: Do we need good coders anymore? 
• Maybe opportunities: Can you bootstrap an entire company on top of this? Enabling more people to code more easily is a good thing, right?

• Within AWS, all networking across AZs and Regions is now free, because people can’t follow the AWS best practices, and AWS doesn’t like people complaining when ther
