100% agree. Just want to point out that you can integrate API Gateway with DynamoDB directly (with some Velocity mapping). In fact here's a blog post from 2016 showing just that - the use case being a comments API: https://a

This story hits very close to home for me. Back in 2001 I worked for a 'Medical Communications' company, building marketing websites for various drugs companies. I was young, it was my first coding job and I desperately needed the

I know it's been mentioned before, but I really feel there is a need to codify an 'internet lore law' about how many comments can appear on a Go themed HN post before someone brings up how superior Rust is Something like: Pik

In this case the desired functionality can be encompassed in a single standard library method. However, the author of the code may have started with a much more complex implementation but still feels like `is_foolike()` is better at describ
