In plain words

Moto is a Python library that mocks AWS services for testing purposes. It allows developers to write and run tests that interact with AWS infrastructure without making actual calls to AWS, reducing costs and dependencies on external services. The library supports multiple AWS services through its boto integration, making it useful for developers building applications on AWS who need to test their code locally or in CI/CD environments.

    Verify LLM Generated Code with a Spreadsheet2023 · ▲83

    Hey HN! Been a minute. We launched Mito here last year (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32723766). Mito is a spreadsheet that generates Python code as you edit it. We've spent the past three years trying to lower the startup cost to use Python for data work. In doing so, we’ve been thrust into the middle of many Python transition processes at larger enterprises, and we’ve seen up-close how non-technical folks interact with generated code. The Mito AI chatbot lives inside of the Mito spreadsheet (https://www.trymito.io/>. The obvious benefit of this is that…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
