> How hard is it for 99% of the developers and technical leaders here to search your codebase for s3.amazonaws.com and update your links in the next 18 months?
I've got a number of hobby projects, some hosted on AWS, that I built ages ago. I have no idea how this change will effect those projects because ... I just frankly don't remember the codebases. I built them on a weekend, set them up, and now just use them.
It isn't the end of the world. But I'm not really excited about having to dig up old code, re-grok it, and fix anything that changes like these might break.
I suppose that's just the nature of a developer's life. But I think many of us long for a "write once, run forever" world. Horror stories about legacy software aside, it was nice to be able to write software for Windows and then have it work a decade later.
