+When Hacker News has your career reconsidered.
+That summer feeling is gonna +[haunt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpJvXo6RNu8) you +one day in your life. + +Thanks to everyone who sent in well-wishes last week! This week was +slow in code but dense in learning. + +## [87bfceb6abe89160a318d69288d2ae1fb3b8eac8][ami-tag] + +I added a +[tag](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/Using_Tags.html) +to my sonic-sketches API. This is just a bit of metadata that will +come into play later. + +## [0e2ffd0aae3f9888976cea1504a84bb325b07583][codedeploy] + +I add the default +[appspec.yml](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/writing-app-spec.html) +template for AWS CodeDeploy. This little YAML file will eventually be +used to deploy the latest sonic-sketches revision onto the EC2 +instance built by Packer. I'm still acting at the very edge of my +knowledge so I'm not entirely sure how all of this will string +together, but what's another YAML file amongst friends? + +## [8c5b5b1dbadc96f2ccb21fd0d71e2540c8caf3a0][yaml-mode] + +I add `yaml-mode` to my Emacs configuration. Why isn't everything just +Lisp? + +## [f9422620e35d11871a47a6b65151da475bc1f4c3][formation] + +I turned my attention then to +[AWS CloudFormation](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/), which +can use that metadata tag to bring up a whole "cloud" of its own. So +far, the `sonic-sketches` cloud requires EC2, S3, potentially +CloudDeploy, potentially Lambda, and potentially other things. I can +group all of these resources together in a +[formation](http://www.beyonce.com/formation/) (🍋). As I'm learning, I +stub out a CloudFormation +[template](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/aws-cloudformation-templates/), +similar to how I did with CloudDeploy. + +## [8243f74224354f06ee6091d4dd39ef8834524397][baskerville] + +GitHub +[recently announced](https://github.com/blog/2186-https-for-github-pages) +that its hosted pages will now be served over https. That's cool. I'm +not immediately affected by that but I use this opportunity to remove +Typekit from . I think Typekit is super great, +but I want my site to be as fast as can be, and I wasn't using the +serif it was pulling in as much as I thought I would have. This is a +subtle change but I really like it. + +## [63516b12cd21c927d4847d2d826bf0ffd09f4f12][break-word] + +I also change the font-size a bit on mobile breakpoints, mostly to +make sure that the site looks good on an iPad split screen view, which +I utilize a lot. + +See you next week.
