A very quick and dirty way to export key and value pairs from web console of elastic beanstalk environments config page.
While viewing the elastic beanstalk config page containing the variable inputs paste the following into your browser console.
var strs = [], inputs = $('.properties-table input');
$.each(inputs, function(key, input){
if(!((key+1)%2)){
strs.push(inputs[(key-1)].value + ' = ' + inputs[key].value);
}
})
console.log(strs.join("\n"));When you set up an Apache or LAMP Lightsail instance on Amazon Web Services, the default document root is /home/bitnami/htdocs/
If you are migrating to Lightsail already use something other than htdocs as your root folder, for example public_html, then you might want to update this.
Although you could creating a new app on the server to hand it, here is a simpler option which leaves the default folders and setup in place:
In /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami.conf add your own document root to the end of every location that htdocs is mentioned.
Then
sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /home/bitnami/htdocs/*sudo chmod -R g+w /home/bitnami/htdocssudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
And you should be good to go.
I was involved in a discussion a while ago about the pitfalls of having a name which isn’t unique. Another person with your name who was, or is, more famous than you are.
To add insult to injury, in our cases there were people who’ve shared our names in the past who have been less than perfect human beings.
In my case for example, another Harry Bailey was a doctor in Australia and was using some pretty awful treatments on people. His wikipedia page is often the first result for Harry Bailey, and has been since I can remember.
The second Harry Bailey that used to outrank me is a character in a well known black and white Christmas film. He’s the brother of the main character and is referenced across various websites.
Thankfully, my writing and link building as Harry Bailey replaced the later on the first page of several search engines with my own content.

There was a manager I worked with recently who was having serious trouble with their onboarding process.
Working with several teams of between 5 and 8 developers, the business was growing fast and recruiting at all levels. Some of the recruited developers were straight out of a code academy, with minimal experience of working in a team, on a regular release schedule, or with production code.
These less experienced developers were their primary challenge. The one they thought could release most value. But how do you get a developer enough experience to graduate them to being part of a team? How many of these developers can you put into a 5 to 8 person team and the team support their learning and progression so they might become independent? How do you introduce them to the team? What does the average day look like for one of these developers while they learn the ropes?
