I bundled these up into groups and wrote some thoughts about why I ask them!

If these helped you, I'd love to hear about it!! I'm on twitter @vcarl_ or send me an email carl.vitullo@gmail.com

Onboarding and the workplace

• How long will it take to deploy my first change? To become productive? To understand the codebase?
• What kind of equipment will I be provided? Will the company pay/reimburse me if I want something specific?

In this tutorial we're going to build a set of parser combinators.

What is a parser combinator?

We'll answer the above question in 2 steps.

1. What is a parser?
2. and, what is a parser combinator?

So first question: What is parser?

Earlier this year at work we re-wrote an internal framework we used to create SPA e-learning courses. After briefly trying out React, Angular 2, Ember and Vue, we settled on mithril (https://mithril.js.org). If I were to compare it to the frameworks we tried out, I would say it's more like React but with a simpler, smaller codebase. By the way, if you like geeking out on code articles, the articles from mithril's old site have some real nuggets of gold (http://lhorie.github.io/mithril-blog/).

A few months after the re-write was done, I dug into mithril's codebase to gain a deeper understanding and this is what I found...

The main entry point into mithril's source code is the m() function, which is a hyperscript function that, according to the docs (https://mithril.js.org/hyperscript.html), represents an element in a mithril view. It's demonstrated below as:

m("div", {id: "box"}, "hello")
// equivalent HTML:
// <div id="box">hello</div>

Rationale

This snippet is a sample showing how to implement CloudWatch Logs streaming to ElasticSearch using terraform. I wrote this gist because I didn't found a clear, end-to-end example on how to achieve this task. In particular, I understood the resource "aws_lambda_permission" "cloudwatch_allow" part by reading a couple of bug reports plus this stackoverflow post.

The js file is actually the Lambda function automatically created by AWS when creating this pipeline through the web console. I only added a endpoint variable handling so it is configurable from terraform.
