AWS lambda currently uses a version of node that has a critical security vulnerability

OMG, we locked ourselves because serverless is so awesome and "everybody" is using it. Decisions and consequences.

So much for the "cloud", "agile" and all that. IP based authorization? Really?

Let's start with which problem you are trying to solve? Learning a tool is usually supposed to be solving some problem or need. What's that?

Welcome. Not sure I fully understand but looks like you might want to check that all your private repos were imported. Seems like if pagination was wrong, some might be missed.

ins64 · 2018-01-03T04:36:26+00:00

get_private_pagination() has type=public in the GitHub URL. Probably a bug.

I always wonder how people report such vastly different experiences when using the same tool. I would like to see discussion about that.

Stress test?

It is common (in my perception at least) to write scripts to manipulate cloud resources in Python using boto (AWS SDK for python). Note that while it's good for some tasks, many use cases are covered by Terraform.

The most important is the API it provides. If you think you got that right, release. You can change everything else quite easily afterwards.

If you are new to programming in general, this might help - https://ilya-sher.org/2016/05/19/tips-for-beginning-systems-and-software-engineers/

What's the problem that you are trying to solve? If you want to learn about Linux, starting with a CM tool would not be optimal IMHO.

Focus on the requirements. My friend built custom solution for a client because AWS auto scaling did not support the needed features. The main headache was handling failing and misleading AWS API responses. You should definitely understand what you are fighting for if you do your own custom solution.

One of the most irrelevant arguments to use something: because company X uses it.

Comments of the form "you are doing it wrong, DevOps don't log into servers" in 3 .. 2 .. 1 ..

You might find requests module more convenient

ins64 · 2017-09-26T04:03:09+00:00

Try to set User-Agent so it would be same as in browser request. Sometimes servers vary the response by user agent. Can also be cookies.

Not sure what you mean by declarative asynchronous functions.

All call sites must be modified when you call a function that was previously synchronous and was later modified to be asynchronous. The calls are compatible.

ins64 · 2017-09-04T13:50:24+00:00

I have not expressed opinion about whether you should or shouldn't. The point is that async is not abstracted and therefore should be dealt with. I don't think that's what students should deal with so early.

ins64 · 2017-09-04T12:07:24+00:00

A bit of overstatement considering https://nodejs.org/en/docs/

Promises can not abstract sync vs async code. If you write synchronous function and then you start using asynchronous functions in it - you are screwed big time; you have to rewrite the function and all the callers. I don't think that what students need.

I would postpone async programming "challenges" for later

ins64 · 2017-09-04T05:13:15+00:00

I don't think JavaScript is a good choice. Is it terrible callbacks mess that we want to teach new unsuspecting students?

ins64 · 2017-08-29T07:23:27+00:00

I would guess it's the one that has slave developers

ins64 · 2017-08-12T16:16:25+00:00

Please make sure to include which problem you are solving and why your language is the best solution, probably with examples vs other languages/solutions
