unrelated rant, but I'm still salty about it.

needed to send "raw" http requests instead of using their bloated sdk for reasons, and requests failed with "content-type: application/json" header, but succeeded with "content-type: application/x-amz-json-1.0". get out of here with that nonsense.

I feel this way about pretty much every aspect of AWS I have touched in my career. Overly bloated, overly complex or weird home brew implementation for no clear gain.

In some cases (cough javascript sdk) you can literally feel the fear of being fired from the people who were writing these services.
