As a kid in the 90’s, being anti-* made me feel good.
In Flash/Flex 2000’s, monolith UI’s using AJAX was also super edgy & super fun.
At Accenture being in Emerging Tech felt like the pinnacle of my career.
While I ❤️ Functional Programming and Serverless, it is lonely in minority.
(more…)Spent a month on this and I think I figured out how to get JSON to “roll over” a Step Function step that is a noop (no operation: function that doesn’t return a value), like say AWS Batch. Noop’s (no operation) are steps that basically are full of side effects, but really don’t have a useful return value beyond “SUCCESS”.

This year, I wanted to see how lean I can get. I also found out from last year I had lost 9 lbs from simply not eating as much (basically skipping breakfast) and doing a little cardio for fun. Sadly my measurements showed that I had about the same amount of body fat, meaning a lot of my weight was muscle. Still, clothes did feel better and doing cardio things for fun was easier too.
In this article, I’ll show you how to write Python with no runtime exceptions. This’ll get you partway to writing code that never breaks and mostly does what it’s supposed to do. We’ll do this by learning how to apply functional programming to Python. We’ll cover:
