Do you think that, if you don't publish those salary bands, the employees in those different departments will somehow _not know_ that the other departments get paid more? Because, trust me, as someone who's worked at multiple B2C

Interesting discussion here. I've been very happy with Gradle for my first major JVM project, a small Kotlin API with a simple build configuration ( https://github.com/thomasboyt/jam-buds/blob/master/

I think this is a bit disingenuous to post. Your own website[1] says: > Supabase is an amalgamation of 5 open source tools (and growing). We don't have a simple way to install everything on a single server, but we will work on this

I've been interested in doing something like this ever since VSCode remote work has become stable. My main side project right now is a Kotlin backend, so I'm waiting for IntelliJ's very-very-new remote features to get a bit m

Ah, gotcha. I actually do have a good use case for that as well (and do think they could go together nicely someday), so I'll still check it out!

This is both a great post and an effective ad - I've been looking for a lighter-weight Postman alternative (and HTTPie, while nice, is no substitute for a graphical UI for such a thing). Will check HTTP Toolkit out!

Of course, in a post-IAP world, you can just charge users multiple $50 "best value" virtual currency purchases over several months, which they can then use to roll for video game items that will 99% of the time be of no use to the

This is a neat gallery! I'm personally thinking of getting a split keyboard soon, but I'm so split on what I want. Currently using a Preonic and find the ortholinear/compact layout fairly pleasant, so I might just want to g

One of the most interesting 1.4/2.0 changes is first-class asyncio support, not just for core (the query builder) but for the ORM layer as well: https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/changelog/migration_14.ht

The traffic is really fucking bad, to be honest - I've been considering moving back to metro Atlanta post-pandemic (grew up in Gwinnett County, currently up in NYC, still go back to visit 2x a year) and it's the biggest concern I

Thanks for linking this! It intuitively made some sense to me (no IPC/network overhead) but neat to see them point this out as an intentional advantage.

I've been building a web service on a cheapo DigitalOcean box lately, so I'm excited to see explorations in this space, especially with an eye towards staying cheap! I'd probably only use this particular tool if it could hook

I don't really understand this. I've never seen a package of plant-based meat and found myself confused, much in the same way I've never seen a carton of oat milk and thought it contained dairy. What's the concern here?

I'm curious about both, and Rust for APIs in general. While I'm excited by the expressiveness of the language (compared to e.g. Go) and how robust the type system is. Right now, though it feels like a bit too much of a barrier bot

Ah, thanks, I hadn't realized that's the underlying library! Runtime validation of types is absolutely the largest missing feature from TypeScript, IMO, so Pydantic is really impressive to me.

I'm excited about Python's typing potential. I recently rewrote an API from TypeScript to Kotlin since I am fairly unhappy with the server-side TS ecosystem, but ran across https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi

Sadly, if they tried your first suggestion, Spotify would almost certainly lock down developer access like Twitter has for their new API, requiring an application and manual approval. Login/password and scraping is a more interesting a

As far as I can tell, Spotify doesn't really have a Developer Platform team, just a legal department enforcing their ToS. All of their various SDKs are poorly maintained with zero points of contact. I think it's just a handful of

Is it just me, or is $15/mo for the cheapest Postgres-with-backups a bit steep? Heroku's free DBs (or $9/mo basic plan) support daily backups. I've currently got a web app I'm just self-hosting on a DO VPS for $5&#x
