    im mostly on cloudflare and wrangler dev/miniflare already gives you local workers, d1, r2 etc, but its hand built. the “agents build it and verify against the real service” approach seems like the actual new thing here. wonder if cf does something similar

    > its “things-that-do-not-work” folder holds the issues describing behaviors the agents found that do not yet match real AWS.

    Claudeslop snuck in at the very end

      The entire AWS emulator was written by agents and will be maintained by agents.

      ~6,500 issues that are completely unsorted, btw.

      (Compared to 12,700 entries in the `things-that-now-work`. I'm not sure if that is a list of bugs found that were then fixed, or if the total list of ~20k things is meant to be the list of features they intend to support.)
