Interesting POV

Thanks, anyways I have the Google AI Pro subscription for one year, so for now I will continue using Gemini

I understand your position, however for some strange reason (maybe because like I am the kind of software engineer who liks to do most by himself) I haven't noticed any issue every time I ask Gemini to do something. Thanks anyways for your comment!!!

Project name: aws-doctor

Project description: Powerful open-source CLI to audit security, costs, and best practices in AWS.

What do you hope to build this month? Add new waste checks for the tool

What kind of skills do you need? AWS, Golang


I forgot to add the GitHub repo:

https://github.com/elC0mpa/aws-doctor


I don't really think it is running to catch Claude, it's true that Claude is way better (for now) to developers, but Gemini in my opinion is a better tool. At least is what I use as a personal assistant. I have Claude because my job paid for it, but I pay Gemini CLI, it's true that sometimes when it uses Gemini Pro 3.1 model it stucks, but in general for me it is pretty well

I built aws-doctor because I found myself constantly repeating the same manual checks in the AWS Console to find wasted costs (orphaned EBS volumes, unattached IPs, old snapshots, etc.). I wanted a tool that could do a quick "health check" from the terminal without needing to export CSVs or click through the Cost Explorer UI.

The tool is written in Go and uses the AWS SDK v2.

I just launched this documentation site to make it easier to get started, but if you want to check out the code or the project structure, the repo is here: https://github.com/elC0mpa/aws-doctor

I'd love to hear your feedback on:

1 - What other "zombie" resources do you constantly find in your accounts? (I'm looking to add more checks).

2 - What new features you think might add value to the tool. I am thinking about exporting PDF reports

3 - Any feedback on the CLI design/UX.

Thanks!


Well, I really like building CLIs for my personal use, and I prefer Golang for both Backend and CLIs, I am currently working on aws-doctor (https://awsdoctor.compacompila.com/), An Open Source CLI to diagnose AWS costs, detect idle resources, and optimize cloud spending directly from your terminal. Let me know WDYT if you take a look at it.


Waooooo, I just look at Kvile and Stao and My Visual Routine. Great work!!! My favourite is Stao, definitely will try it, but before I need a standing desk. Keepo the hard work!


Nice thing about Stao is that even though its targeted towards users of standing-desk, just the whole part of standing up and walking about a bit is hugely helpful for you back. Anyway, thanks for the kinds words!


Wow, this looks interesting, great work!


Thanks!!! If you find something that can be improved, don't doubt opening an issue!
