Thank you. Getting the display to work was very motivating for next steps :)

First time hearing about this. Looks awesome. Thanks for the tip!

Hi. I use Jekyll and a Makefile that pushes the generated html to S3. I also needed to set up a cloudfront distribution instead of using a bare web-enable S3 bucket so I could use aws’s https certificate automation. Let me know if you need more details.

Hi, author here. I can honestly say that I’m definitely not an expert. I tried to systematically write down questions on a text file and solve them one after the other. Solving one usually added a few other ones. “What chip is this?”, “how to program this chip?”, “do I need a development board?”, “what’s SWD?”, “how to pull an output high?” Etc. Lots of these are specific to this chip, too, so a lot of it is just reading the documentations and drilling down on libraries.

It’s something I find refreshing to read and like to state when I can: none of this was easy for me. But it was definitely fun. Having no deadlines helps. Having no practical goal and just enjoying the process was also refreshingly nice.

I think it is page 314 of _a_ book.

I had a similar experience with python 3's asyncio. I have worked with gevent, which has an arguably less "elegant" interface (with monkey patching, for instance), but with which it is so much easier to be productive. I was frustated for having dificulties understanding and using asyncio. The author is a better python programmer than I am, so I supposed there is really a problem there.

Thanks for the insight. It's a relatively fragile negotiation, since we're just little guys who received an opportunity to do business with a big corp.

As with the API, we implemented some integration with Salesforce and it was relatively easy. SAP, on the other hand, seems to be a different kind of beast. There's a huge amount of moving parts, which seems a little enterprise-y and complex for a tiny startup to work with.

It seems like Zapier is some sort of task automation service, which works with SAP Anywhere™ (which _seems_ to be yet another product from SAP). I'll look further into it. Thanks!

Two years ago I took a trip to the Atacama desert. My luggage was lost in the flight and the hotel manager was nice enough to let me use their washing machine. I saw a few of the most beatiful natural landscapes I've ever seen down there, but nothing so far has compared to the feeling I had looking up to the sky while picking up my clothes from drying at night. I don't get emotional very easily, but my eyes filled up with water and I had multiple shivers at that moment. I woke up my girlfriend and we stood there like two kids for a long time looking at our galaxy. I'm so glad the company lost my luggage.
