They had a chat... He had decided after school not to go to University and had been working there for a couple of years but was excited now because he was about to go.

Gave my Dad an echo dot yesterday. He has macular degeneration and I thought it might help. Installed a big company's skill for him to help with trains (my parents can't drive any more) and watched the interaction.

THREAD: A good practice is for each AWS Lambda function to do one thing rather than bundle all functionality into one function.

Why? A quick answer is that the smaller the Lambda function, the faster it will load and the quicker it should run (depending on libraries etc), but that's very simplistic
