this can be quite revolutionary in terms of true cloud desktop and same user experience. Installing binaries for different OS is painful for vendor and user.

of course as others pointed out, writing direct exp might be optimal or every dev should learn about it.

BUT in my whole career span, whenever I have to use regex, I spend couple of hrs learning and testing. This kind of library for Java open doors for many other things. (testibility, default library using default methods etc.., integration with streaming ). And as community adds to it, it can be optimized internally. All end user needs to do upgrade versions. Can be extended part of javax validation specs.

nice tool, specially modern programmer is always switching context and I always loose my prev notes. right now my notes and gist's are spread around multiple google drives and my GitHub account.

Even if I adopt this tool, my biggest fear is, this website will disappear one day. and how about security. what if my personal notes have passwords.

and second biggest fear is, if my company firewall this site, then I am back to same situation

I haven't used too much many but just analyzing at whole project, using altassian suite makes more sense to me. (even for small team projects.). Using their hosted solutions is quite affordable and you don't want to spend your energy in learning new product or host or learning integrations.

JIRA (tasks + bugs) + Confluence (for any kind of internal docs) is all you need.

Great job. You might need to work on pricing. (I am sure, you are still experimenting). I used google sheets before to get rest APIs and extract information. (internal project). But google sheets being on cloud, provides many opportunities for integration. Google should be more serious on plugin marketplace.

It's unfortunate. People behind c9.io should have thought about existing users etc. AWS did, what they do for all. -=-= Do you want to modify your offering to include free AWS trial offer (i think, AWS offer 750hrs of ec2 something) OR do monetization of your courses and u foot the bill of AWS.

Something like that.

which region, datacenters are present? Where company is based ?

for snapcx (https://snapcx.io) apis, we use 3scale for API Management and Linode VMs for running java apps as web services. Along with combination of Linode LB and 3scale provided reverse config for nginx, makes our responses sub-seconds.

Thanks for article. Though I known about Lambda for long time, but this is one nice example, how Lambda can be used. Now I am planning to use to develop some zapier like integrations.

Having said that, before you jump into making free payment forms for your static site, keep PCI compliance in mind. (even if stripe is rendering form using js).

I was talking about support ticket etc.

For https://snapcx.io , I have been experimenting with freshdesk, zendesk and zoho too. In end, as we are simple startup, I decided to stick with

  - Straight email support 
  - asciidoc generated html pages for documentation https://snapcx.io/docs
  - self hosted contact us form. (it sends email to support)
  - free zendesk chat. (as of today, it's one or two chat request, which sends email to support email)
  - As we are selling API subscription, I am hosting swagger based api explorer. (simple html page) 
  - https://snapcx.io/addressValidationAPI

Or use 3scale or WSO2? I understand, pricing point of view, amazon will be 10 times or more cheaper. But level of effort required and limited features set, you have to decide what you are trying to do with your time & skills.

Thanks for correcting.

3Scale got acquired by IBM, and now APIGEE by google. Time to buy Layer7 shares?

API Gateways are big deal in API first initiatives.

It's interesting to see shift towards. Always remind of 2005, when everyone was blogging about RoR.. Then 2010, everyone was blogging about scala. Personally, I could never find any good reason to move away from JAVA. Yes, learning multiple languages might give you better perspective on software development but when we talk about some serious enterprise software development (it's not only language but cost of development too), JAVA is good enough.

-=-= Another thing I am realizing, over the period, specially shift in architecture style because spring (aka IOC pattern), it has made programmers better. We can't blame everything on EJBs etc any more. Early JAVA programmers were treating java as magic bean instead of putting good effort on learning & writing programs right away.

Oracle should thank Apache & Spring.. in my opinion.

Managing EC2 instances is becoming like filing taxes. Soon you will need EC2_Instance_Advisors for your company needs.

oh grammer nazis... :). I thought, it's only reddit. Point is, it doesn't look "legal" enough language. Again, I just have doubt on it's legality.

Is it only me, who thinks, this letter might be FAKE. Though it's professionally written but it doesn't look like real one. For example: three DOTs right after word doorstep. I tend to use multiple dots in my personal emails but even in office, talking to clients, using multiple dots, is not professional. How we can confirm, this is REAL letter not just nice job done faking it.

HN is becoming another DZone, anyone to come and post your blurb blog post. Either OP just wants to discredit RepublicWireless or he should know that, if any service provider is offering heavily discounted phone, obviously they are going recoup their discount with form of either contract or forcing to sell you phone with their ROM. What's new in that?

1. Their regional data centers 2. CDN (if they providing) more closer to residential customers. 3. :), preferred streaming compare to netflix

I kind of saved myself lots of frustration, by not reading this article. As soon as I read, "i will have to leave my boyfriend" and I assume, this is one narcissistic article, trying to get people listen her babbling because she has used "google".

I have been to these many "awkward" conversations so many times. In USA, developer == senior developer == tech lead == hands on architect. So they keep on adding better "title" of role, but we know that, it's 100% hands on job with reporting to 10 different managers and at least 4-5 status meetings in a day.

Hence, I am OK with my current job. :)
