What made it a nightmare to use? We're just about finished migrating to Cognito (using our own UI) and it's been the same experience as working with Auth0 but much cheaper. The only goofy part was in order to have a custom passwor

We are using a container hosting .net6 with our lambda. We use it where I think lambdas really work well, that is to process queue items off of SQS. It works well with the dead-letter queue as well. We dont notice any performance issues, bu

We have a product team that comes up with the text and right now we have walls of Lorem ipsum waiting to be replaced. So, this tool will scan the app find all that lorem text and put it into a json/yml file? You then work against that

After spending my career working in higher level languages, I'm always impressed by what people can do with languages like C. It's not just for drivers anymore.

Per RFC (for HOTP, which is just TOTP w/o the time element)... "The HOTP value must be at least a 6-digit value. It is also desirable that the HOTP value be 'numeric only' so that it can be easily entered on restr

The hardest part I've found with budgeting if you have a significant other is getting both parties on board. Then even if you get them on board you need to be together on the amounts and the methods. The budgeting part is easy once you

Right now we're playing the gambling game of sinking the cost of fixing our old, high mileage car rather than paying the inflated prices. The question of course is how long do we hold out (or will the car hold out) in the cost of fixin

Is it the need to be perfect or the need to be seen as perfect that is the issue? As more and more is shared, I've seen my kids not want to try things simply because they see people doing the same thing amazingly well. The same people

We're using it as part of an SQS flow. We add the item to the queue from our backend and then process it with a lambda function. Right now we're using containerized NET6. Works well enough.

Coming up with 'fresh' ideas and creating a profitable side project is much more challenging. There is so much more competition then there used to be. The few projects I made money on in the past I would suspect I would have a rea

Instead of having to download and serve a separate font for each style (bold, light, etc.) it's just one font that interpolates those attributes resulting in much smaller font sizes. Here's a list from google fonts just to see som

It's really hard not use variable fonts now (IBM Plex is not variable). They just make so much more sense and reduce the package size sometimes significantly.

For the amount of money that AWS is making it's amazing on the lack of documentation beyond the simple lambda hello world. I've been using C# and looking up how to handle DI and have been trying to piece together things from old a

I know you said frontend, but we use them for both FE and BE. They work fine, but our problem comes with DB migrations. We just haven't found a good way to deal with DB changes and flags.

You're not wrong. I get more stressed when I can't just think and live in the moment. Not that we should ignore the big picture, but life is the moment to moment. Trying to live like all we do is what people post on social media w

The enterprise level security I've often noticed is around integration with SAML or LDAP. Both of those do take time and effort and I appreciate charging extra for it. As for RBAC, MFA, etc those should be made at a lower level like RB

It is possible to find places. I work at a company were we're trying to match up charities with people wanting to donate through various means. It's a nice change of pace from the usual financial related places I worked at before.

That would be very frustrating. I've been using B2 to store my encrypted backups (via Duplicati in my case) and that has been solid (and cheap) in both backup and restores. For those leery of their personal backup solution, maybe go th
