Today, while studying AWS tech for a certification exam, it occurred to me that AWS shared a characteristic with Mathematics. Its body of knowledge was so large and growing so fast, it was outpacing an individual person's ability to ever grasp it all.

But that's not a bad thing and I have a philosophy for coping. Wanna know what it is? Read my blog post, linked in the first comment. :-)
