I actually witnessed almost exactly the same thing happen in my org recently. AWS support was far _too_ nice and actually did escalate to the service team (or claimed to).

There was a few days of back and forth which should have been resolved by saying "please read the how lambda works" section of the documentation.


It's been several years at this point, but I used to be a cloud support engineer for AWS (i.e. the first line of defense against support tickets). We were trained to always be kind to the customer, even if we're frustrated with them, so a response like "please read how the lambda works" probably would've gotten me reprimanded. Customers can rate your response from one to five stars, and if I remember correctly, anything less than four required a written explanation to your manager as to what went wrong.

That job was a glorified call center; I didn't last very long.


There is a more simulatory simulator linked at the bottom of the post, narrowboat simulator by Michael Donning.


Yeah, my complaint is more that ChatGPT hasn’t been trained enough on my YouTube channel.
