My Japanese is pretty terrible, I'll check out the site.

Working part time next to study in Tokyo

I only have classes for 24 hours a week at most at the moment and still have 4 months left in Tokyo, does anyone have experience in working part-time in Japan, where would you get a job in development in Japan? my visa is not an issue as long as work + study is not over 50 hours a week total.

I do js so its rare to see a LOC over a few Ks, largest I've seen was about 15K. I know google and facebook have >100K LOC client side JS projects when compiled, I doubt those are in native JS though.

I dont think a point / rpg system ever works for a signle person because the value of the points is dynamic. Ive been using the GTD method for work in combination with pasting reminders everywhere and am very happy with how this works.

Why does it seem to me like lucid dreaming comes up in waves as a trend every now and then?
Re:Ask HN: CI/CD on AWS lambda like thing on Monday February 12, 2018 @05:57AM (#16357880)
The same answer applies here as with your other question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16357653 but with some additions, you can use AWS lambda for that with some hacks or set up your own service, just spin up a docker image and run what you need doing in that (its what you do with pipelines either way). You can use githooks if you want functions to be executed at some self-hosted repository once someone pushes.
Re:Ask HN: Why no Amazon S3 like repositories? on Monday February 12, 2018 @05:55AM (#16357867)
Most major services offer different package deals, though you seem to want an on-demand service. Amazon offers exactly what you want: https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/projects/set-up-ci-cd...

looking around at other services: Gitlab won't add it to gitlab.com hosted repositories, nor does bitbucket seem to offer auto-magically rescaling + on-demand. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3314 https://bitbucket.org/product/pricing?tab=host-in-the-cloud

However you could run gitlab in an automatically scaling AWS package (or google cloud, azure, any other service that offers elastic packages).
