The Big Switch by @GriffithSaul just arrived! Time to get Australia switched on 🇦🇺 🧠💡⚡ #electricity #greenenergy #Aussie

It's been 24+ hours now since techstudyslack (a ~90,000 member community) hosted via @SlackHQ just stopped working. I've had little response from support and don't see any evidence of a solution. Techstudyslack is a thriving community where people can discuss tech/certification and career development. I chose @SlackHQ ~5 years ago because it seemed like they supported communities like ours but I'm not so sure anymore.

@cassiecodes Love it. I love the button hover animation

@RollTheCloud @wolfeidau Yes but I don't think it will allow you to subscribe a local lambda to a stream.

@jonathanparker @wolfeidau It appears DynamoDB can be set-up locally. docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb…

My new favorite AWS tool is the AWS lambda runtime interface emulator, in short it allows me to run and test lambdas locally using CURL commands! Showcases how handy it is to package lambdas as containers as well. #AWS #lambda github.com/aws/aws-lambda…

@wolfeidau Yes that's where I am now. I think I need an error event to raise when the schema doesn't match just to give me a better debugging experience.

@jonathanparker This is a tough problem, directly coupling DDB to your internal events, especially when there is no validation / contract between lambdas is going to end in tears 😭

@BenWhoLikesBeer I think so but it was very short

Was that an earthquake in Melbourne just now??

@dan_abramov Do you know of a mind map to help visualise how the different concepts and areas of the source code are connected?

@jtango18 @DDDMelb @akankshamalik96 🤔 You do know it's on next week right? Unless you are planning to leave poor Alby at the office until next Wednesday 😭

But wait - there's more... delighted to announce that the MC for the evening is none other than the amazing @akankshamalik96 🎉 - it's going to be EPIC my frens, come join us!

You can tell how it's going to work out just by comparing the logos!

@sainathsr95 @4erepawko Actually it wasn't always like that. Visual Studio used to be very expensive and not at all worth the money as a student. Microsoft used to provide a student licence for those who were interested.

@4erepawko Damn the thread illustrates how closely designers career and whole livelihood is tied to mere tools ⚒️ 😞. At least we devs are spoilt for choice😀 and love switching tools , heck even whole languages 😜

@AbstractCode No each abacus is a micro service so we already have a micro services architecture.

@jonathanparker Are you moving from a monolith to micro services?

You just know that someone somewhere out there has written Lambdas in COBOL.

@steven_s_reed @roustam @nikitonsky Haha. Did you notice your Freudian slip when you said "soft of testing". It turns out with software all you need it to do is pass the sales demo test to sell it. I wouldn't be surprised if this very video end up chopped up and put into a sales deck 😂😭

@roustam @nikitonsky With nothing on on the sides to hold the bun straight, this will likely happen quite often. I don't see how it could have passed any soft of testing, so I'm assuming this is not a released product. It seem more like a Mechanical Engineering Graduate project.

Can’t wait for AI to take over the world

@davidegrandi63 @b0rk My worst: A ticket assigned to me for a bug in a mobile app. No one in the company has read the code (inc. me) cos it was outsourced, and there's no docs. After spending a week investigating I find out from discussion with someone in another department it's a feature not a bug.

@b0rk my first harsh debug was 2 weeks long, to get the confirm that a behavior was a "standard" one (very well hidden in a manual). the worst spanned 3+ months, caused by a very smart "hack", a top level function called itself indirectly via a trigger, deep ... My 2 cents : tail debug

so far we have about 40 pages of debugging strategies and trying to organize them is a struggle :) here's a draft of the table of contents (though it's SO FAR from being done, note the "unsorted pages" section haha)

@mattgillard @philnash You were just 5 years ahead of the curve @philnash 😆

@philnash i usually get a "yes, but no but this particular edge case it wont work, yadayada"

I just had an answer I wrote on Stack Overflow in 2017 accepted as correct. That's quite a backlog that developer must be dealing with. 🫠
