parfamzon Show HN: Bash-My-AWS – CLI Commands for AWS

I would strongly recommend to use cloud formation through a typed proxy like troposphere. Also would not recommend to use terraform at all since you will run into warts and fundamental issues quickly. I have done projects with both and my current blessed workflow is a custom python driver which uses CF via troposphere and minimal boto3 as glue. Also I work at AWS.

parfamzon Ask HN: What is your experience with smartwatches? Is it worth it?

I have owned 3 different smart watches, including android wear, cheap chinese fitness bands... My gf got a fitbit charge 3 for a health study and I decided to get one as well. Sleep and hr tracking is the most accurate from what I tried, I get notifications and battery lasts a week+ plus water resistant overall is the only wearable worth using IMHO. I'm happy with it and would recommend.

Actually if you have time and want to contribute to the project, it's better than donating money.
