Been working on offline apps (Android) for the past couple of years. Syncing is hard. Some takes: - There was never a budget for CRDT's - Conflicts were never our primary focus, instead our focus were business problems - Event-sourced

As an indie AND dev, with close to 100k downloads on the app, I dread of making any changes to my app. It's like looking for trouble really. Last couple of times I made smallest change, there was always something else I needed to addre

I've noticed my TikTok feed is full of "Bosnian Serbs want emancipation, war is looming on Western Balkan" type of videos lately. My guess is Russia and China want another war far from Ukraine so western nations focus less on

Chose Svelte for a client project 5 months ago, client loves the speed, I love developing with it. In general it's quite a nice tool, fast development, feels easy to learn. I do dislike server-less functions, which comes in pair with S

This is true, if it's basic app I'd certainly recommend web technology. But it's also true that clients many times don't know what they want and where they're heading. So, before we decide on tech, I do analyze with

I find nothing wrong with Leetcode. I've been avoiding it forever, and finally started to practice it 2 months ago. I can say I learned quite a lot. Thus far in carrier I've primarily relied on `List` when it comes to data structu
