Great! I also just read about this on a Serverless newsletter.

Yes, someone found the typo, send it to me via Twitter, and I fixed it. This is also where I know from that the article is on Hacker News :D

It uses a fallback at parameter level instead of the ?? operator.

Hi everyone! Happy to see my article shared here. If there are any questions, just let me know. And yes, the list is opinionated ;) Especially the question on one-letter generic types has been debated a lot.
Re:Show HN: AWS Lambda TypeScript Middleware on Wednesday August 26, 2020 @04:03AM (#24280244)
Hi everyone! I've recently written a typesafe middleware library for AWS Lambdas.

Here's also a comparison to other ways to do middleware in AWS Lambda: https://startup-cto.net/simplify-aws-lambda-functions-with-m...

Happy to answer any questions you might have! :)
Hi there! We have just released the first version of our exploration site around building blocks for web applications. It is not perfect yet, but we are looking forward to any feedback :)

So far I'm quite happy with https://amplitude.com/
Re:Ask HN: Smallest laptop that is decent for coding? on Tuesday March 24, 2020 @07:51AM (#22674069)
I have written small js/html tools on my iPhone with help of a Bluetooth keyboard. No PHP though as iOS doesn't allow code execution environments except for the browser. In my experience the biggest drawback on these kinds of setups is the small screensize (I strongly prefer coding with three giant displays), and this limitation cannot easily be overcome while keeping the device tiny. I'm looking forward to the Lenovo X1 Fold though to see if this reduces the pain a bit. And I love my Asus ZenScreen as a second-screen solution that easily fits in my backpack.

AWS Serverless Application Repository is trying to be something like this I think.
For me it is a lot harder to hold presentations for groups remote than in person as almost all feedback is gone. Due to muting I don't even hear whether people are laughing at my bad jokes.
I have never had a video call that had less friction then sitting together with someone. In my experience this mostly comes down to UX: almost everyone working is trained on how to behave in an on-site meeting, but not everyone knows how to behave in a remote meeting (e. g. muting and unmuting etiquette). In my experience there is also a bunch of jobs in the technical field that in principal could be done remotely, but suffer due to lack of technical knowledge of the person you are interacting with. An example I think everyone can relate to is tech support for your parents. In my experience that is a lot easier when standing next to them. And a lot of tech jobs are about explaining technology to people who don't have experience with that specific tech yet.
