Having just built my first project in Go, I'd be happy if some form of standardization is introduced. Everything I read was mostly along the lines of "well there's this community standard process we use that's not offic

Which is actually fine. 5 is restrictive but 15 is just fine.

yep. Been trying for the past 30 minutes. Not sure if there's a surge of people trying to register devices suddenly.

Pretty proud to say that at Buffer it's a few minutes. We've written a CLI that sets up team members including getting them a new SSH key to use with github. If you are running the install fresh, you simply use ./dev setup. I

If anyone wants to know what this might look like, there's a former parse engineer called charity majors who's making honeycomb.io for this kind of observability. She talks a lot on twitter about having had access to tools while s

Happening here in Sri Lanka. Still waiting for the market crash to happen. People are spending upwards of 70% on all their leasing across housing, expensive cars, and luxury items like 65 inch TVs not to mention CC bills. Banks have started

Ah. I understand. For the projects I ever did on consultancy basis, I've setup a replica db for database stuff. And backups every 3-24 hours to s3 using glacier or infrequent access class depending on the nature of data. I keep a limit

I have a github subscription for private repos, an s3 bucket, and a portable hard disk. Lately I've been thinking of investing in a portable ssd and working off that.

Maybe? All this code did was call another lambda function and return a 204.

This one's pretty important. I tried to implement slack commands using lambda. But because slack needs a first response within a tiny period of time, my command would often need to be run twice since the first attempt would timeout as

Honestly you brought up really valid points. Thanks. That got me thinking a plenty :)

Not a good case for shared write access. Just shared read access. DB's come with their own logs. If one wanted to provide verification one only needs to provide logs that other people can read and maintain diffs/copies of

I find this view (and the replies) interesting. One thing that I've experienced after writing tests a lot is that once you know the patterns, implementing TDD becomes effortless. Eg (python) Need to test interfacing with an SDK correct

A lot. And for good reason. I generally guide people away from the negativity around the thought of "it takes longer to write tests than code". Coding is simply the logic put into the language you are writing something in. Program

Similar survival story of a surfer who got dragged out to sea and had to survive in the irish waters. Admittedly this was 32 hours in comparison but the effects of what happened are remarkably similar. Nocturne had a great podcast episode o

I find it troubling that views based deeply in religious beliefs (gay people are unnatural and somehow should be sidelined for their differences makes sense only inside of a highly religious context) or just pure unscientific opinion are so

Here's a quick question I have about Mastodon instances. Most instances I visit are hidden behind a sign up home page. Is this default? How does this encourage more people to interact? Or is that the point? Happy if anyone can just poi

Stick with hover for domain registration. I do love their service around that. Just move your DNS out to any number of providers. In my case, I moved off to Route 53 today. I forgot that Digital Ocean also provides DNS facilities and could

Peace of mind before I start working. If there's something bothering me, I just can't up and get going on work that needs to be done. A peaceful mind, good night's sleep, and some good breakfast all put together gives me a fu

Thats a pretty awesome list!. I'd love for these to be the reasons but somehow I doubt any of us are that thorough. The only reason I used python is that it was the first result that showed up in a Google search "write program to

Julia is definitely a step up in data science programming. It's purpose built for data science. I guess that's also the reason why Python has grown more than Julia. The likelihood of someone having worked with Python in an unrelat

Predicting it now. A large part of the "why" is going to be because of the jump in data science. Python is an incredibly kind language to new comers in the sense that it allows you to just get started. A lot of people are making b

Not entirely an answer but maybe helpful. I don't ever conciously unplug. What I do do though is never let my devices/notifications interrupt or mix with any other activity I do. I don't check notifications at the gym for exa
