Jump into Go @ Baltimore Go User Group

In this exercise your task is to work with the newline-delimited string below and count the occurrence of each character per line. You will need to make use of several features of of the Go programming language to accomplish this task, including variables, values, for and range, slices, maps, functions and reading from a file.

Success Criteria

• Read the list of Go proverbs from proverbs.txt and handle potential errors.
• Iterate through every proverb and count the number of times the character appears in that sentence.
• Make use of the standard library packages only.
• Your output should look like the sample below (though the sequence of characters will be different).

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

• There are always 24 hours in a day.
• February is always 28 days long.
• Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

AWS Describe and Get actions as Terraform Data Sources

Beyond the read-only resources that existed in Terraform before data resources were an official feature, I'd like to make room for a new pattern for re-usable modules where they accept only the minimum set of ids they need as variables and look up other data via data sources.

Here's a motivating example:

variable "aws_subnet_id" {
    description = "Id of the subnet where the EC2 instance will be created"
}
