Agreed, I'm quite sensitive to the scrollbar size when I land on a new article, and in this case I almost closed the window, thinking this would take the whole day to read :)

Yep, sounds much more natural at the end :)

Also agreed. I will use single-letter variables like "c" or "x" occasionally for lambdas or anonymous functions, but that's about it. "lambda x: not x" in python - anything longer I think should be descrip

Agreed with you. Perhaps if you're using temp or tmp, something could be done better, but I see no harm in using the others. If you're counting things, a variable named "count" sound perfectly reasonable to me.

I am not sure when this was written, but Lambda supports ES6 directly as of about a month ago. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/node-js-4-3-2-runtime-n... I think you can avoid the transpiling/babel depen

Interesting. Had a google interview not too long ago, and this was exactly the question asked to me - how would you design an algorithm to find overlapping free time from person X, Y and Z. I guess they got more practical with their questio

Great realization. I'm in a similar boat. On the upside, 30 is still quite young, there's lots of time to do other stuff and slow things down ever more.

Montreal is not known for its tech scene. Scrolling through this page, I can immediately identify: - the "startups" that are a 1-guy team doing "disruptive-PASS-agile-SCRUM" consulting - large, partially government-backe

I used to try and reason with ES settings on production, for about a year or two. Something would invariably break, unless you spend time with it every day, checking configurations and monitoring performance. We use the AWS ElasticSearch se

This is an unfortunate title for this post. AWS released API Gateway sometime last year, and this makes it sound like a caching layer behind API Gateway, to access S3 files.

Unfortunately it seems like the argument is mainly semantic then - I find it reasonable to think that "pedantically instructs the programmer how to properly do what’s requested, even though it obviously know what is meant" is pret

Did you read the quote? He very exactly says that python is bad in comparison - by using a concrete python vs ruby example. If this was a passing mention on some blog post, I'd be inclined to believe you, but this post is not like any

This is easily described with a contrast to Python. [...] Ruby accepts both exit and quit to accommodate the programmer’s obvious desire to quit its interactive console. Python, on the other hand, pedantically instructs the programmer

Living in Montréal, I'm happy to see this article. The highways / traffic situation is horrible here, but I will point to one example in particular. Getting to the airport: there is no way to get to the airport easily. There is a

Great point. Also, the pipeline you mention removes many risks related to the 'common' mistakes mentioned in the article (scaling, monitoring, provisioning it all done for you - or almost). We're using gateway -> lambda -&

At the end: To employers – ask your staff to help find new hires. Offer a bounty – enough to get their attention, say a fortnight’s salary. It’s a lot less than Shithead would cost. And their incentives are all positive: no-one w

I like this idea, but I'm not sure it's realistic. Constraints change all the time, just like your users' needs. In principle this works, but I'm not convinced that everything should aim to be finished.

The max speed is 40 k/h - I'm no expert cyclist, but what happens when you go 60, 70, 80 down a long hill? Can the Lily catch up to you, and up until how far? What happens if it can't?
