Matteo's Technical principles

Matteo Technical Principles

1. Conway’s Law is paramount.

Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure.

In order to design a piece of software we need to “design” the team that is going to produce it.

2. Developer Experience is key to productivity

Here are three Python decorators that I use quite often: add timeout functionality to potentially long-running functions, add retry-logic to unreliable functions, and measure the execution time of a function. Also, pytest functions are included as usage examples of each decorator.

import inspect
import logging
from datetime import datetime
from functools import wraps

Install Anaconda on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

Thanks everyone for commenting/contributing! I made this in college for a class and I no longer really use the technology. I encourage you all to help each other, but I probably won't be answering questions anymore.

This article is also on my blog: https://emilykauffman.com/blog/install-anaconda-on-wsl

Note: $ denotes the start of a command. Don't actually type this.

Steps to Install Anaconda on Windows Ubuntu Terminal

  1. Install WSL (Ubuntu for Windows - can be found in Windows Store). I recommend the latest version (I'm using 18.04) because there are some bugs they worked out during 14/16 (microsoft/WSL#785)
  2. Go to https://repo.continuum.io/archive to find the list of Anaconda releases
  3. Select the release you want. I have a 64-bit computer, so I chose the latest release ending in x86_64.sh. If I had a 32-bit computer, I'd select the x86.sh version. If you accidentally try to install the wrong one, you'll get a warning in the terminal. I chose `Anaconda3-5.2.0-Li

Install Python 3.6 in Amazon Linux
# A virtualenv running Python3.6 on Amazon Linux/EC2 (approximately) simulates the Python 3.6 Docker container used by Lambda
# and can be used for developing/testing Python 3.6 Lambda functions
# This script installs Python 3.6 on an EC2 instance running Amazon Linux and creates a virtualenv running this version of Python
# This is required because Amazon Linux does not come with Python 3.6 pre-installed
# and several packages available in Amazon Linux are not available in the Lambda Python 3.6 runtime
# The script has been tested successfully on a t2.micro EC2 instance (Root device type: ebs; Virtualization type: hvm)
# running Amazon Linux AMI 2017.03.0 (HVM), SSD Volume Type - ami-c58c1dd3
# and was developed with the help of AWS Support
