This got me thinking--why on earth are we still using simple numbers to describe which process to connect to? Why not use names instead? I thought of all the times a program wouldn't start because of port conflicts. The more I thought about it, the crazier it seemed. Modern operating systems already offer no-conflict ports: if you make your TCP server listen on port 0, the OS assigns you a random available port. But that only solves…

After a bit of frustration with the existing DynamoDB GUI clients, I decided to build one. Features: 1. Request collections: Chain together multiple operations - put, query, update, and delete across tables, accounts and sessions. Use the output of one operation as input for the next. 2. Environment Variables: Configure variables once and run the same requests across different environments (dev/staging/prod). No more manual parameter swapping. 3. Multi-tab, multi-account support: Work with multiple tables across different AWS accounts, and sso sessions simultaneously. 4. Easy SSO…
