When possible, I prefer working with local files because it’s fast and straightforward. However, sometimes, the production code needs to work with data stored on S3. What do we do? Until recently, you would have to rewrite multiple parts of the code. But not anymore. I created a sshalosh package that solves so many problems and spares a lot of code rewriting. Here’s how you work with it:

Many years ago, I needed a way to measure execution times. I didn’t like the existing solutions so I wrote my own class.
