Great code is both easy to understand and performant

I saw a post suggesting you should never use a reduce function - it's too complicated to understand

- if your engineers can't understand a reduce function, why did you hire them?
- if you want to make your code more readable, use name functions.

AWS is sometimes behind the times.

Content is one of those areas.

Yet AWS prefer to pump money into meetups and user groups.
Those things are great and super valuable, but they get 30-50 people max per month.

re:Meet gets Live chat

It took less than a day to build and I think it'll be super useful

It's built using Momento topics but I've not seen anyone else add persistent storage to live chat with it so far.

Video will be coming soon on how I built this whole app!
