If you’re new to machine learning, reinforcement learning, especially, then it’s completely okay to have a hard time understanding these fancy jargons in front of you. Here’s my attempt to simplify these while we work on a little robo-car :) About AW...

Dynamo DB is AWS's NoSQL offering in the vast set of managed databases as a service that they provide. Like most other services, it's fully serverless, flexible and easy to scale. The Data Model As we're working on NoSQL here, there's no real restric...

I was recently a part of a hackathon and was found searching for good Jupyter environments on the cloud to be able to work on my ML Project. Soon enough, I found myself here. However, it took me a while to figure out how powerful it truly can be. F...

Almost a week to this and not a lot of drama on Indian Twitter, so I thought I could write about it. TLDR: Malicious code with a backdoor was added to one of the core packages of Linux affecting almost all Debian and Redhat distros; was later discove...

I spend 5 days out of a week coding for work, so I'm definitely not motivated to code a lot on weekends. This means that I do not have any software development tools installed on my personal machine. Not even IDEs.
However, being the curious little geek that I am, I often have the little urge to hop into VSCode and start coding again, whether it's for a mini project, trying out some new tech, preparing for a new article or a talk.
Since my laptop is more used to Netflix than Python now, I don't really feel like installing any dev-tools locally. Here's when Cloud9 comes to my rescue. And here's a few reason why I LOVE IT.

This isn't even a debate. All it takes is a single click after you fill in a couple of boxes; and you're up and running.

I've used online coding platforms for web-development and Jupyter environments and I've been restricted from using admin commands in the shell and install anything new.
Not with Cloud9 though. It's almost complete control of the environment where I can install whichever packages I want and make use of them.

This is definitely a great add-on if any Gen-AI code assistant is already a part of your local IDE. I don't use it as extensively but it's a handy tool to have. The results that CodeWhisperer shares are generally very accurate and easy to work with.

Much like how LiveShare works in VSCode, you can share the entire setup with your teammates or friends just by creating an IAM User for them.
Do you folks use online code editors or IDEs? Let me know your thoughts on Cloud 9 :)
