Within Lambda, yes, sucks. This is why container-based serverless is so much more exciting. (Which Cloud Run offers.) I'm in the early stages of this rearchitecture but so far I've had no difficulty with local development.

I have limited time before my next meeting so I'll type real quick: GCP Cloud Run is like the best of both worlds between AWS ECS Fargate and AWS Lambda. (Yes, the comment is in the context of containers. Sort of.) * Like Fargate, Clou

I love e-scooters. They're fun to ride around on and, when there are enough of them in an urban area, you can just rely on them being there for transit. I've been so disappointed by the public's reaction to scooters, though.

I recently read a fantastic book on Cold War brinksmanship. It was, "The Bomb: Presidents, Generals, and the Secret History of Nuclear War" by Fred Kaplan, published in 2020. It's a fantastic book. I couldn't put it down

So I'm pretty sure this is the technology revolution that we're all sleeping on. Like, self-driving cars? VR? Meh. Accessible programming? A safe environment for folks close to a business problem that lets them solve that business

I completely agree! Beavers make habitats! They create entire ecosystems! They turn semi-arid land into lush wetlands. Their lodges become homes for muskrats and otters. The wetlands they make support bird, and frog, and fish populations. C

So, in some ways, it is not that different. It uses ideas that have been around for years: The core of the product is a visual programming language, plus a database, plus a low-code Python editor. All of which have, obviously, been done bef
