Once I read Matthew Walker's "Why We Sleep" - I've started prioritizing sleep over most things. Highly recommend that book.

great advice - thank you! I think my biggest issue is patience, so I'm working on that slowly (using film as a medium has helped). my instagram is @agastya.mondal - would love to see your work as well!

Thanks for sharing! As an amateur street photographer myself, this really resonated with me. I've found that street photography can be extremely unforgiving but the drive to capture and understand urban life is addictive. Would love to hear other peoples' experiences with how to be more successful at street photography!

Ask HN: Good resources to learn DNS / basic networking?

Ask HN: What's your AWS deployment workflow?

Posted by amondal on Tuesday February 12, 2019 @09:13AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm coming to the end of v1 development for a small app built using Postgres, Django, Redis, and React. I have a domain purchased as well. I'm looking for a good tutorial or experiences on deploying this stack to AWS. I'm not really familiar with the suite of AWS products and would definitely appreciate any insight on deployment workflows. I've added Dockerfiles to both the API and client...
