It's great to see how others are doing serverless development. It's definitely not something you learn to do well overnight. I'm glad to see someone get past the learning curve and write about what works for them. I've b

The privacy risk of installing extensions that have full access to every page you visit is enormous. It includes the risk of exposing passwords and credit card numbers. Using a bookmarklet is a much better idea since users can control where

I would bet that modem is using a phased antenna array [1] (I'm guessing this is what "solid state, no moving parts" means on the product page). With the right sensors (gyros, etc), a solid-state system like that should be ab

Thank you for saying this. Despite taking all precautions, I was infected in Jan 2021 before becoming eligible for the vaccine. Once I recovered, I was comfortable venturing outside again and doing some traveling but there was practically z

Completely agree. Most of the criticism I've seen comes from people who don't have a good grasp of the platform or tools, or haven't adapted their style to the "serverless mindset". There's definitely a new tec

LOL. I guess I was being a bit conservative with that estimate! I've worked for myself as well and know what you mean. In my situation, I was able to save myself from testing by telling my customers "this is a prototype so expect

I have only done a little bit but I know exactly what you're talking about and it's great.

My point is that OP is in step 1 of 5. It's not to say there aren't any good thoughts there, but the overall diatribe comes from a place of inexperience so take their advice with a grain of salt.

I can't believe I'm wasting my time on another testing debate. Speaking as a formerly young and arrogant programmer (now I'm simply an arrogant programmer), there's a certain progression I went through upon joining the w

I did the same experiment as OP and ran into the same issues, but eventually realized that I was "doing serverless" wrong. "Serverless" is not a replacement for cloud VMs/containers. Migrating your Rails/Expres

TDD is a technique for accelerating delivery by focusing your coding efforts on only what is necessary to deliver a feature (i.e. pass the tests). You get high test coverage as a result, but having to maintain a large automated test suite h

I hear you. We're giving the British people a lot of crap for exercising their rights. I wish folks would respect this fact rather than sensationalizing the result and causing a lot of negative attention and guilt.

Holy crap, great idea! Imagine if adding a "monitor" (virtually speaking, of course) to your setup was no more difficult than splitting a Vim window... that would be pretty rad. An Oculus Rift is much less expensive than your typi

In general, the only "binding" part of the term sheet is the "no-shop clause", which doesn't let you solicit additional offers from investors, usually for 3 months. It otherwise represents a handshake on terms so th

If you want to dedicate 100% of your energy towards solving tough technical problems then you're actually not a good fit for a startup. Team sizes are small and resources are constrained, so you have to be well-rounded enough to solve

I don't think my original comment had the impact I was looking for. Sorry if I offended anyone... I don't want to imply that ageism is OK.
