the amazon prime video blog was right lambda becomes prohibitively expensive really quickly we've seen tremendous growth over the past 3 weeks, and it's not financially sound anymore to run on lambda

"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern

Better Configuration in TypeScript with the `satisfies` Operator

Typescript 4.9 introduced the new satisfies keyword, which is extremely handy for most configuration-related tasks in TypeScript.

Let's put in the effort to be #BetterAllies, even if we might get it wrong. Because the only way to be right all the time is to be silent. When I make mistakes, I share them so that we can all learn together. Today's newsletter is what I got wrong in 2022 mailchi.mp/190bad79217a/5-al…

Hanging off of it is another sign reading “I may get it wrong, but I keep putting in the effort to be a better ally. The only way to be right all the time is to be silent, which signals I’m okay with the status quo.” Along the bottom of the illustration is text reading @betterallies and betterallies.com.

Anyone use this method for catching rejected promises? Sometimes I miss having the result and error in the same scope, on the next line. If you do, do you take it a step further and pass in a bound function so you can catch thrown errors as well?

The most efficient way to run a team / organization is not to keep it fully utilized. Hurts your brain, but it's true. When you're 100% booked, any delay causes ripple effects across every single project. It's oddly more efficient to keep some of your team idle.

a debugging manifesto
a debugging manifesto 1. inspect, don't squash try to fix the bug (crossed out) understand what happened (yes, smiley faces and stars) 2. check your assumptions person (thinking): "wait, how do I know that's true?" 3. being stuck is temporary person (thinking): "I will never figure this out!" ... 2 minutes later.... person (thinking): "well, I haven't tried X..." 4. don't go it alone person (speaking to other person): "hey, have you seen this problem before?" 5. trust nobody and nothing person (thinking): this library can't be buggy... OR CAN IT??? 6. there's always a reason computer: "computers are always logical, even when it doesn't feel that way" 7. build your toolkit person (holding toolkit): "wow, the CSS inspector makes debugging SO MUCH EASIER" 8. it can be an adventure person (talking, with cute bug next to them): "you wouldn't BELIEVE the weird bug I found" by @b0rk @omarieclaire, more like this at https://wizardzines.com
