I'm not so worried about the money but more about context rot. I used spec driven development for a week and I had constant compacting with Claude code. I burned 200€ in one week and now I'm trying something different: only show d

I wrote my first program on an Atari 150XR from a book of write your own adventure at 7y/o, but I have to say I didn't learn to program until much later. At 13 I started doing my own websites with Netscape and I studied from ages

From -10x to 5x. It depends a lot. I work as a web platform engineer so the datasets on some parts of what I do are limited. For a react project, there are millions of projects, code and setups in the training data. To create and manage a m

I read here some time ago an article of how LLM generated content is the new nylon/lycra. In the 80's this fabric was all the rage but now it just feel cheaper. The same happens to me when people quote something an LLM told them a

I love the idea of converge with the web and also like the simplicity of being able to see what is happening. I've also experienced the despair or having to debug the internals of a library or a wrapper of a wrapper of a wrapper somebo

Short term profit companies usually try to get away with giving you the less they can while charging you as much as possible. There are still mid size company that try to make a good product for a fair price, but I have the gut feeling that

The same is happening to me. I live in Europe and I'm a staff engineer with almost 40 y/o but I have to be honest and I think I'm not going to be able to grow on the corporate track. Whatever comes next will come from other s

I think we are missing the biggest elephant in the room: advertisement. An ad show on a native mobile app pays between 5x to 10x more than the same ad in a webpage. Advertiser's also get way more data from the mobile app than the data

I think that it depends a lot on how much customisation you have to do on top of NextJS to make it work for your personal use case. For example if you stay as close as possible to the framework defaults, everything is golden. But as soon yo

This might be confirmation bias but I'm very happy that we picked Astro over NextJS. Support for Standalone server is a must for our case since we run the biggest classifieds site in Germany and vercel costs are impossible to pay. Here

Author here. This case study covers why we chose Astro over Next.js for modernizing Kleinanzeigen.de. Having built (and debugged) large Next.js apps before (see my other articles series linked in the post), we applied those lessons learned
