🔗Got the Pic Store bootstrap command working today. The Postgres ability to defer constraints checking until the end of a transaction is very handy here, when you're loading a bunch of JSON files and don't want to have to sort them topologically according to the foreign arrangement of the tables.
I've also been getting a steady stream of Github notification emails for the past hour, all from the same PR at work that someone else is working on. I had an idea a while back to make an Email Digest Service and this is pushing me closer to doing just that. At least Pic Store is getting close enough to MVP that I can push through and start using it soon.

AWS Route53 lets you create "alias" records that work like a CNAME, but just redirect to another AWS resource (including other Route53 entries). This incurs less cost than a normal CNAME, since resolving the alias doesn't count as an extra lookup.
