When did it become acceptable to write things about other people as he writes about Jeanine Banks? Even if everything he says about her is true, it still feels incredibly rude to s…

Software engineer from Moscow. This is an absolute disaster for us. I can't imagine how and when we recover from this. The damage already made to our country is going to be devasta…

The best universities in the world make their courses available online for free - what a time to be alive! I wonder if it's still possible to make money selling online courses in C…

Not exactly this, but "Dragon's Egg" by Robert Forward takes place on a neutron star with a surface gravity billions times that on Earth.

> Amazon basically didn't touch it since the acquisition almost a decade ago. This is what I love about it. When something works for me (and Goodreads does), I don't want it to cha…

This is a great comment: instead of making generic arguments, you actually tried to show how to do it better. Thank you. I don't find the comments in the original code distracting,…

While I agree with the general sentiment, the first example in the article IMO demonstrates how "what" comments make understanding code easier. When I first read that code, I was p…

A lot of code files starts with lengthy copyright notices, and no one seems to mind. I find comments at the top very easy to ignore if I work on that code regularly. Also, I don't …

Thanks! If you know some good examples, please consider proposing them: https://github.com/ainzzorl/goodcode/issues/new?assignees=&l...

I agree that some comments in the first example are unnecessary, e.g. the one pointed out in [0], but I find comments like that at worst useless, but not harmful. They have a poten…

Lambda indeed is not the right tool for this. It sounds like you need some infra that can auto scale - there are many ways to do it on AWS (EC2 auto scaling, ECS, EKS), any other c…

Please consider adding an FAQ about how it compares to "native" AWS offerings, because it resembles a few of them. E.g. Lambda ("run your code" without "start a cloud server" and "…

Sounds cool! Will it support only "basic" DynamoDB features (reading/writing records) or some "advanced" things too, like GSIs/LSIs, streams, fine-grained access control, TTLs, bac…

I've been assembling and annotating a collection of instructive and self-contained code examples from open-source projects, to make it easier to learn by reading good code. Code Ca…

Yes. I was thinking to start with smaller examples showing how they write code at without necessarily understanding the big picture, but bigger examples would be great too eventual…

You blog about interesting things, subscribed :-D

I started a repository for it: https://github.com/ainzzorl/goodcode . Please follow! It's empty for now, but I included a few examples [1] of what I'm going to annotate and add the…
