Look at their history. Don't get your hopes too high. Nobody's seen this yet in action.

Yeah, delay for 35 days, which then forces an update before you delay another 35 days.

Send more horse heads. They took a basic "never install updates unless I approve" checkbox and turned it into a several options with obtuse language that only pretends to give you control. A lot like wedding vows.

So I'm trying to set up a simple test for using AWS lambda.
Docs suck. Docs are circular.
Forum sucks. Sign in, but apparently can't post for several hours.
There's f***ing link in their forum to "why can't I post?" Error Posting Messages to the AWS Forums[^]
JFC. Why can't they just say that on their f***ing forum page?
Actually, it's not even a link. I had to copy and paste the stupid-ass thing. This is full text:
Quote: Your account is not ready for posting messages yet. See the following article for details: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/error-forum-post/
They can't even provide a clickable link. 
Internet sucks. Can't find a single comprehensive "here's how you use VS2017 with AWS lambda". You'd think Amazon would have such an article, but their links are like a labyrinth that leads nowhere.
It's like they purposely put up detours, wrong way streets, and roadblocks to get you to use Azure instead, which was a 30 second easy-peasy setup.
Downloaded and installing AWS SDK for .NET[^] knowing darn well it wouldn't work.
And sure enough it doesn't. No "setup your account" on the startup page as the instructions state there should be. No AWS template when I create a folder, as the instructions state there should be.
As anyone gotten this pile of dung (specifically the turd called lambda) working with VS2017? A simple yes or no will suffice. Yes will give me vacuous hope, no will confirm my cynicism.
end-of-rant.
For now.

I've been looking at that link, which was prompted my rant. And I dislike videos. And yes, tons of info, none of that I've found current or useful. Maybe my google fu is in retrograde. I'll try again.

It's Friday afternoon... walk away from the keyboard... go to your favorite pub and enjoy a cold ale and favorite pub food. Rinse and repeat all weekend.
AWS and VS2017 will be there on Monday when you're in the proper mood to tackle them.
You're welcome.

For thine is the beer, the bitter and the lager, for ever and ever. Barmen.

Lol. I did. But sadly, this is a personal project, looking to add to my article on azure functions a comparison to AWS. So the pain is of my own making

If you have used Azure, you will quickly find that AWS is way tougher to get used to. Say what you want about Microsoft, but their documentation and IDE integration is the best in the world.

Every day in my inbox, I get the CodeProject summary email and I love the content and enjoy the snarky discussions that hit the top of the lists. Then sometimes I'll look through other threads that have catchy titles.
But I feel like I am missing something.
Clearly, people are seeing questions very quickly and are answering quickly. Are they just getting a bzillion emails for each forum? Is there a web app? A phone app? An IRC channel? How do people interact with the community in a manner to make it a community as opposed to just a mostly-historical-view of questions that have already been discussed as-naseum?
Or am I just better off not knowing as it will be a massive time sink.

That sounds reasonable. Most of the fast answers (Q/A, Lounge etc.) are from CP junkies, means "so heavily addicted dependent"

Try being useful from the other side of the planet, when I opened up CP this morning a response from JSOP was 4 pages down in the Lounge.
For those of us that do not have CP open all day every day we are doomed to be spectators, either commit to being a CP junkie or be satisfied to be a spectator.
