SSM + Pydantic

Query values from SSM when deployed, by placing an SSM ARN as the environment variable

Background

I wanted to query secrets from SSM at runtime, to laod them into a pydantic.BaseSettings settings object, but still be able to pass standard values during development (and I guess, if I want, in prod).

I've done a couple of similar implementations before, but they have always felt clunky and involved altering the object after instantiation, or hard coding which values to take out of SSM.

currently trying: USB-C->DisplayPort cord with SwitchResX to "force" the display up to a reasonable level

My home office setup has suffered some problems of late that are driving me insane.

The most annoying is my wired mouse. I use a wired Redragon Mammoth hooked up to my USB-C hub, and it started giving me problems when dragging anything. Like... a file, a screenshot, a window, it would rapidly (dozens of times a second) "drop" what I was dragging and then pick it up again.

This had extremely unpredictable effects, and was highly disruptive to my workflow.

I don't think my mouse is failing (my bluetooth mouse works fine, and for a variety of reasons I think the problem is my monitor is running at 30hz, not 60. more on that later.)
