I liked it. I like those kind of short useful examples but it's an interpreter. That makes a huge difference. So, the title is misleading.

Home assignments are a great way to evaluate a candidate. A "one hour" project would not be sufficient for that, the problem would be too easy.

I find it weird that you guys don't want to spend some time to show your skills to the employer, without getting paid. These are not real projects. You're not benefiting the employer when you finish them. They also spend some time evaluating your project submission.

(I'm not talking about the companies trying to make people work free by giving them parts of the real projects in disguise)

Maybe someone else has already mentioned but anyway... The things I do: - Lambda event passed to your lambda_handler is just a big json, get it and copy it somewhere, and then you can test your code locally. ( lambda_handler(your_event, None) ) - If there are some things you cannot do locally, use some flags to handle them. (You may use: MessageGroupId from the lambda event for example) - Prepare a deploy script and use it. (aws lambda update-function-code ...)

Once I too felt like that.

Maybe you're just into something different. That's ok.

But maybe you're like me: For my case, it turned out that I was just bored of doing what I'd been doing. I changed my direction and left full-stack development. I started studying machine learning (and lots of other stuff because of it), bought some in-depth books about programming and started reading them. I finally understood the importance of Lisps (yes, the weird syntax has a really good purpose) and started learning Clojure. I'm constantly trying to improve my -functional- programming skills. It feels ok now, I feel like I've found a new path to follow, and see the room for improvement.
