A script to query the Amazon Web Services usage reports programmatically.
Ideally this wouldn't exist, and Amazon would provide an API we can use
instead, but hey - that's life.
Basically takes your AWS account username and password, logs into the
website as you, and grabs the data out. Always gets the 'All Usage Types'

1. I think therefore it's not XGH.
In XGH you don't think, you do the first thing that comes to your mind. There's not a second option as the first one is faster.
2. There are 3 ways of solving a problem: the right way, the wrong way and the XGH way which is exactly like the wrong one but faster.
XGH is faster than any development process you know (see Axiom 14).
