Originally, it had to do with board games and running them in a web/cloud environment. Using websockets made building the game easier, but now there is exceptionally complex state within the process (await/async). Generally speaki

Thanks, I need all the luck I can get. Currently, I'm building a couple of products with my stack, and it's going well. For conditional processing that you and your colleagues did, was it within the browser? I'm doing this as

JQuery doesn't solve reactive data, and it's like building an interactive product in assembly.

Auto-completion would update the view state which is gossiped back to the server, and the server can regenerate the list.

That's the old world, and the world I want has limited JavaScript yet fully interactive products.

Another approach (which I'd love to see others pick up on) is treating the client as a dumb proxy to the server. This is the philosophy I'm embracing, and it's wonderful! If you buy into the philosophy that the UI is a determ

Only if you understand the details of when the cache needs to be invalidated. I'm not sure where ORMs entered the picture, but my point is that the database uses the query engine to guard internal caches which are private via the proce

Really, what good reason is there to have data and behavior bound to the same object? Caches which require specific invalidation logic. A good mental model is the query language for a database. The language provides a frontdoor for all the

People do it because they work mostly in isolation or small groups of experts on things that compute values once from command line.

It's like learning the limits of the tech. For example, the evening I was messing around and asked it to give the philosophy of Conan and what makes life best. It pulled the right quote from the movie and then went on the deep end tell

So, the challenge here is that these don't help be a better "programmer". However, they do stretch the mind which helps. Unlike others, I love whiteboard code challenges. However, they really are a proxy to IQ which does corr

I agree with this in spirit, but there are many advantages to a services model. However, building services is exceptionally complicated. I'm building a simple platform which people can run at home or in cloud. I have an unlisted tech t
