used to be one of the “sharers,” maintaining a fairly popular blog, writing tutorials on platforms like DZone and CodeProject, answering questions on StackOverflow, and creating open-source projects that collectively amassed millions of dow

This looks awesome. Maybe a stupid question: appID is public, does it mean anyone can query everyone else's database if they know the appID?

This series got me into coding languages for work and fun. I wish more books about complex topics were written this way... For anyone who's interested, Jack Crenshaw did an interview in 2009 and touched upon how he wrote this series. [

Okay, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the worst possible outcome. Let's use the words of Sam Altman, the risk here is "light out for all of us", and let's just assume it meant we would still live, just in darkness.

You disagreed with me, but at least you acknowledged there was risk, even though we could disagree about the odd or potential impact. Yet, folks like Yann LeCun ridiculed anyone who thought there was a risk AI could endanger us or harm our

What I found disheartening was many of those scientists, especially those on the "nothing to worry about" camp, seemed not to entertain the thought that they could be wrong, considering the scale of the matter, i.e. human extincti

Wonder what will happen to house prices. Flatten out or drop soon?

They lost their money on the short position because the price went up, instead of going down. Had other people noticed about the hack as early as they had assumed and the price went down as they had assumed, they would have made a lot of mo

I used to maintain several popular open-source projects and contribute to even more popular ones. It was always fun at the beginning, especially because I built them for my own needs. But I kept getting asked to fix bugs or improve things e

Debugger is your friend :) Start by adding breakpoints for some key actions of the app. Then step through the flows with the debugger. First pass you can just step over functions to get the high-level idea. In subsequent passes, you can ste

I'm sorry, but how is this simple?

> what relevant software have they actually written I think Fitnesse [1] is quite relevant. That said, not a lot of FOSS work from someone like him, to put the things he preaches in large and complex projects that we can look at the sour

> The nice thing about building like this for me is that the journey from nothing to something is short and so much is supported out of the box. This sounds really tempting :). Thanks!

I've just finished watching the 1st video, it's awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. I do prefer an all-in-one option so this looks promising. The website says v3 is beta and not ready for "production use". Have you encountered major issues with it?

Thanks. Seems like many people recommend Next.js. I'll definitely take a look.

Thanks. What do you think about SvelteKit? I looked at Svelte, liked it a bit and went on to explore SvelteKit to see how the API/SSR/route was handled but I couldn't get through their docs. Maybe I should find a better tutor

Thanks! NextJS is mentioned many times in this thread. I'll definitely check it out.

Thanks. How easy is it to add a custom page that retrieves data via REST? Does it have to be written in PHP and as a Wordpress plugin?

Thanks. I looked at Meteor a long time ago, didn't get a chance to use it and didn't know they're still in existence. Will check it out.

Thanks. It's funny I saw it on HN a bit after my post. Will check it out.

Interesting. I didn't even think of this option. Let's say the app will eventually grow beyond simple CRUD, do you think something like Bubble.io can still be easy to build on? Or at that point, one would have to migrate to a more

Thanks. First time I heard of RedwoodJS. I skimmed the home page, looks good so far. The only thing I feel unsure is the use of GraphQL. It seems to require some learning curve and I'm not sure why I need it over plain old Rest API.

No fishing. Just a dev looking for HN recommendation to avoid missing out on a good framework fitting my needs. Thanks for your idea. Going vanilla JS/PHP to build modern web apps can get complicated real quick I think. I'd prefer
