    Questions

    What is AWS Amplify?

    Do you see more people using AppSync vs. API Management?

    We have had a hard time differentiating DynamoDB Scan/Query from what actually gets filtered through AppSync, any perspectives on how to avoid common issues with this?

    Is there a way to debug using `amplify mock function` in VSCode with 4.18.0??

    Do you recommend using Cloudfront to serve S3 images for your Amplify hosted site?

    Future

    I know the video plugin is coming along, are there any other cool features coming out for Amplify that people should know about?

    Questions

    First talk to me about this Kaggle thing, what is it?


    Did you get started on tutorials because of https://codediode.io/ ?

    What made you start angular firebase, which eventually became fireship?

    Did you ever think you would be able to make a career out of making Tutorials?


    I have been a lifetime Pro Member on your channel and have never regretted it for a minute, it has helped push me as a dev expert and taught me countless things I didn’t know.

    What do you think it is that makes your tutorials so easy to digest?

    At this point what do you think you like doing more

    • Creating code
    • Creating vids

      • I am trying to find out how to become a GDE in 2020, I know you have a whole video on what it took to find that path. https://youtu.be/IDZyZMYn3H0

      What do you think is the biggest part of becoming a GDE:

      • Tutorials
      • Public Speaking
      • Meetups
        • Future

        Do you think Flutter will continue to grow as fast as it has?

        Do you think Angular 9 (Ivy) is a game changer?

        Random Thoughts

        I noticed that we are both PADI certified, we need to plan a trip!
