In what way does the UK have "considerably more rights and freedoms" than the US?

I've used Zapatos and can vouch for its effectiveness. It doesn't bind you into any specific way of setting up your database or defining models, but provides an extremely easy way to integrate with other TS libraries in order to g

This is an extremely strong set of features in one language. All the best in this project!

Would love to read about some examples / strategies in a blog post some day!

Yes, and since typing is only at compile time, it's also missing some of the extremely convenient pattern matching syntax that I love from Haskell, Rust, Scala, etc.... Despite some downside, I'm a huge fan overall though. I haven

Recent updates in TypeScript have also made ADTs much better to use and make expressing business logic in a statically safe way. It's incredible how much mental overhead that good typing systems (and good utilization of them) can save

The more time you spend on this site the more you realize that it is not immune to the same problem that other sites have of people acting as if they have something insightful to say when they're just regurgitating common talking point

The fact that it's been well over 3 years since the introduction of hooks in React and people still don't understand how to use them makes me very worried for frontend development. Really looking forward to server components.

This looks really cool. It would be nice to see some benchmarks against something like electron to see how they compare performance-wise for end users.

This is really interesting. Would you mind sharing a bit about how you keep the data that is shared across services in sync? Or is there a hard separation of concerns so that services would only commuincate with the service that owns that d

Fantastic article. This kind of insight into how people break down complicated problems into more manageable pieces is extremely valuable.

This looks fantastic! Looking forward to diving in a bit deeper.

They do based on what I've seen, you're right. I'm speaking more to the consistency of styling across the project, but if the UI library is separated out from the rest of the project then it shouldn't actually be a conce

Thanks for these ideas! The react-aria seems quite interesting to develop a UI library library using Tailwind-styled elements while accounting for accessibility.

Nice - I've seen a recent explosion of good libraries. I've seen Atlassian, Shopify, and others open source subsets of their own libraries as well. Another less popular one that I have had my eye on for some time is Mantine. It se

Looks fantastic. My only concern using this in a full React project is its lack of interoperability with standard libraries. It seems like for the best experience, you either buy Tailwind UI to use with a tailwind project for anything excep

This is great - love the detail this goes into.

Agreed completely. I'm surprised someone deemed this fit to publish. The entire post seems to miss the point of UI frameworks and libraries entirely.

GKE in particular has a very high overhead cost per cluster. That's the only reason I bothered learning kOps and Terraform.

by gunshowmo 5y ago
Yeah, definitely seems that way from all the feedback I've been getting. The exam is soon enough that I'm going to be getting it over with anyway, but I hope I can find something to do afterwards that isn't in that box.

Thanks for the reply - I would like to be close to the tech side if I can but it's been tough so far without the initial experience. I'll keep revising and sending out my resume to the tech names as well to hopefully at least get

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. Honestly I actually enjoy leetcode-type questions for the most part so I don't mind practicing those at all. I'll take a look at my resume and see how I can restructure it and start sending it

Thanks for the advice - are there certain topics I can learn about or some way you think I can work on making my resume stand out in any way after acquiring those skills?

Sometimes clean looking UI requires complexity. If I need to let a user sort a list of items, is it more UI/UX friendly to make them press a button multiple times until an item is in the right place, or is it better to let them click a

I definitely understand the frustration towards the growing ecosystem of web app technologies, but I think people really disregard the necessity of the complexity. There are certain things that basic HTML/CSS simply cannot do, or if it

This man deserves so much respect. He even open-sourced the software he created to generate his videos, allowing more people to create similar helpful content. I'm sure a lot more kids would be interested in math if they were able to v

I do sessions-based authentication via my API server. You can implement this in quite a few ways, but I think Redis is pretty common for the speed. I think there are libraries in most languages that should implement this in some way or anot

Thanks for the advice, that's a really good way of framing things.

I'm currently struggling with this as well. I'm trying to transition into tech from a non-tech role so it feels like my resume gets put in the trash heap first.
