Excellent post! The feeling of having accomplished and learnt after going through those task lists at work or with kids or managing money is something unexplainable & you have put it in words. Bookmarked !

Have been using gitx for some years on MAC and it’s quiet productive. ‘jump’ on iTerm helps in navigating across folders quicker.

Being a newbie to React I’m always told by my experienced React peers that ‘creat react app’ is the right way to go about building react apps. Can you explain why we should build Webpack from scratch ?

Super simple ! Looking forward for the part 2. Just reminded me this video https://anders.com/blockchain/?__s=vorsda25neenhsdtsbey

Madness :)

This is awesome !

Sad ! Learnt a lot from it though.

Classic programming defect !

Excellent insights. If cost is not a factor, how does improvements in SSD space stacks against RAM ? Thanks

I'm a firefox user for a very very long time - i do not remember using IE or Chrome for any serious time - i'm using mac for a decade now and not even safari ! Have never found firefox disturbing my dev work anyday. Will continue to use firefox.

Yes very much possible if you are requesting across zones. I did extensive testing within zone and couldn't notice anything more than 2-3ms.

>> Also, worht noting is that my code is hosted in the us-east region and I'm based in Europe. I'm not sure how much latency this introduce. Very much possible, if your regions are different.

- watchout for latencies (multi-zones apps) time of your lambda functions.

- keep your lambda functions warmed up

- node has better warmup time than java lambdas (not sure of python)

- memory size impact of lambda functions (negligible in most cases)

- manage lambda timeouts

- dynamodb latencies are negligible

- api gateway typically does not introduce latencies

- multitenancy challenges with single store of dynamodb

Yes. (With an aspergers boy and Lego became a necessity during his kindergarden. It has done and is still doing wonders to improve his attention)

Lego is always an inspiring story. Another one from bookmarks https://blog.hubspot.com/agency/history-lego-marketing

Very impressive Jordan. Pls do consider releasing TimeTable in India - an Android version if possible. Millions of parents of primary kids (more than the students) will be happy.

We were working on a travel card TOP up problem using mobile phone and it required NFC parity on iOS and android.

it has started working now

Yes - started working 2-3mins before finally

Yes. Indeed.

Proud moment for a Tamizhan on HN !

Hi, suggest you to read on the test pyramid and the advantages micro services bring in to compliment it. Thanks

Loved the gif question :)

Agree that the functionality needs to be tested in-whole. But the delta in time is very large when the feature level tests have to be run on the monolith & they can be avoided when they are tested on the micro service.

Another aspect to consider is, time taken to run regression and automation tests on the Monolith, by both devs & QAs. This affects frequent release of software considerably l.

Excellent practical comments. Have not attempted the compiler piece yet. Will try Also, taking pet projects and tech to completion has helped me learn tech deeper. Plus doing office-Wide sessions in sharing them.
