Granted I've not used a ton of AWS services because all of this was in context of grad school research, but I've found this with a lot of the AWS documentation I've come across. Things like documentation for general API being inconsistent with language specific library docs, or function signature is different than what docs indicate. I had issues with others, but for reference this was largely with MTurk JS bindings to the api.
- tmpz22 7y agoFWIW I’ve also worked with mturk and find that to be an unfair comparison point because it basically a vestigial organ that nobody in academia actually even uses correctly.
- obmelvin 7y agoI have no idea how much mturk makes, my guess is not a ton and its mostly in a maintenance mode? Would explain the state of the documentation. Not sure I see how researchers improper utilization of crowdsourcing is a reason for the API documentation to be inaccurate (and I don't think even updated after I emailed while I was still using the docs).
- anongraddebt 7y agoNot sure if they used it correctly or not, but a good friend who recently finished his Phd at an elite department used MTurk heavily for surveys.
