Finding hard-coded credentials in your code
Hopefully you’re excited about deploying credentials to EC2 that are automatically rotated. Now that you’re using Roles, a good security practice would be to go through your code and remove any references to AKID/Secret. We suggest running the following regular expressions against your code base:
Search for access key IDs: (?<![A-Z0-9])[A-Z0-9]{20}(?![A-Z0-9]). In English, this regular expression says: Find me 20-character, uppercase, alphanumeric strings that don’t have any uppercase, alphanumeric characters immediately before or after.
Search for secret access keys: (?<![A-Za-z0-9/+=])[A-Za-z0-9/+=]{40}(?![A-Za-z0-9/+=]). In English, this regular expression says: Find me 40-character, base-64 strings that don’t have any base 64 characters immediately before or after.
If grep is your preferred tool, run a recursive, Perl-compatible search using the following commands

JSX, a year in

Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components. At our office, we call them stateless and container components (view-controllers if we're Flux). The idea is pretty simple: components can't
