Note that we also had COVID and shifted to remote gigs in Germany. This means that we compete with people located in smaller cities or even villages which probably have a pretty good pay rate bump.

Sublime Text editor is my day-dreaming destination when I feel depressed of work. It makes me really happy that 2-3 people can actually build something, sell a piece of it in an non-disturbing way, and do this for a living. It's also o

What I'm pissed about is that everyone hopped on the JWT train too fast a couple of years ago. Now it's really hard to argue with architects / developers why cookie authentication / bearer token makes more sense than JWT

There is hardly an app that I use these days that doesn't require internet connection. I guess once your app needs it, you will have the same problems.

Yeah I don't remember how I found about this, but I remember it involved some `console.log(JSON.stringify(...))`. It's tricky to notice.

Really nice design of the home page! Do you folks use a template for that or you built it in-house?

Btw in this context I would like to share Type Fast by sindresorhus [1]. I find it excellent and definitely a helpful tool to think about when you are struggling with type safety vs runtime data. 1: https://github.com/sindre

As a longtime WebStorm user I would really appreciate a WebStorm + let’s say PyCharm vs IntelliJ. I’m a bit happy by the default configuration of each dedicated IDE, rather than clicking around in IntelliJ and fix stuff. What’s your opinion

Thanks for that. Really appreciate the answer. I remember having similar struggles with infinite-scroll product page a while back ( ~5 years ago ), with variable card height. I thought this could be done with CSS nowadays, but I guess css g

Yeah, but the question is how far should we go with that. Should we do : const isFalsy = require("is-falsy"); const isObject = require("is-object"); const isFunction = require( "is-function" );

I'm even not sure what an average experience on IE11 would be for any users. I push as much as I can to POs / stakeholders to just disable non-critical features on IE11 and just leave the basic functionality. I doubt anyone using
