Being able to safely refactor code is one of the greatest benefits of writing tests. The goal of refactoring is to improve code design e.g. style, design patterns, performance. Let's take an example from the previous route handler which has already b...

There are a number of ways to learn machine learning on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) but my favourite is using Qwik labs. What's great about it is that each lab has a preconfigured environment that includes all the essential permissions and setup.
I've tried using the cloud services of Open Shift, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, IBM Watson and GCP and I found that getting the service working with the right options is a major source of confusion. I found AWS to be the hardest - their fine granularity of rules and privileges felt tedious.
Qwik labs include a user login with the right permissions to complete the lab step-by-step. This means that I could realistically commit an hour to learning the basics of Machine learning.
Qwik labs have pay-as-you-go or subscription pricing but I managed to get some free credits for attending the Google Devfest on air 2018. And I'm glad I did.
