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…

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 boo…

As someone with experience as a startup employee and founder, having negotiated startup offers from both sides of the table and seen several unfavorable and favorable liquidity sce…

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)…

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 outsid…

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"…

Ugh, these arguments frustrate me, but here I go getting sucked into another... > Actually, I am setting up a serverless app now. 4-5 lambdas, s3 buckets, RDS, IAM roles, and 6 wee…

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 te…

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…

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 progr…

> considering all s-curves are exponentials at the beginning Sorry, but I hear a lot of people saying this and it's driving me crazy. S-curves are S-curves from the beginning, not …

Yes! And it works on remote machines too! SSH somewhere and give it a try

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/container…

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 r…

As a technical founder having gone through a few VC rounds, I was initially surprised by the lack of technical diligence but eventually came to the same understanding as the author…

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 lo…

> Hmm. They can now have a path to obsolete cmd. As long as they ship a decent ssh client with the system, users will become accustomed to ssh-ing to their own box instead of using…

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…

You basically nailed the problem: the generally-accepted status quo is based on flimsy evidence. Our metabolism is complicated and it will likely take decades before we fully under…
