Eventually, humans are going to get used to the constant spam and start mentally tuning out these hyper personalized initiatives. haven't we already been doing this since email templating was a thing?

i share some of this sentiment as well and i think a lot of my hesitance is that these solutions seem born of the popularity of rust. we have had c and c++ for as long as javascript has been a full-stack workhorse. is it just the barrier of

in a world where iOS users won't install another free app from the app store because they already use iMessage, matrix is like asking for your friends to perform calculus just to talk to you.

this seems like great for rapid prototyping for those that are already well-versed in rust and really really hate javascript.

i completely agree. use the right tool for the job. if you need significantly dynamic content, you should consider another framework such as rails (as the author indicates). if netlify is being portrayed as the only platform to deploy a sta

it is very sad. i personally would much rather someone walks through their problem solving approach and identifies shortcomings/edge cases than to regurgitate a memorized algorithm. it's really easy to identify code that is not op

i think TDD is a great method, but not dogma. likewise with code coverage. being prescriptive about one or the other just leads to angry people who get fed up with the principle and rebel.

don't know much about fly.io, but i would have definitely deployed my go binary + caddy w/config in a container, rather than setup a systemd service on the host. just me?

same experience here but am a pixel person, not samsung. why is the notification experience on iOS so bad? it feels like doing chores. i figure system settings are annoying because the default is good enough for most users.

great idea. take some time and let work be your source of income and not your entire life. you won't get a do-over of your 20s. whatever you decide to pursue, inquire thoroughly about work/life balance. you can always go back to t

doesn't traefik provide much of the functionality you'd want from an api gateway?

the keyboard is so small, why not just use your cell phone? yes your on screen keyboard is far from ideal but it has already built some muscle memory. typing on a tiny keyboard with a non-standard layout is just painful.

in my experience, having access to the aws dashboard rarely indicates mastery of the platform and knowledge of which tool is best for the job. it is incredibly common to lift and shift on premise workloads to ec2 with an rds instance to sav

can't help you with the sd card slot but if you don't mind carrying a wired headset, a usb-c > 3.5mm adapter can't be the dongle that breaks the camel's back..?

so back when i used to spend an hour or more reading and responding to email every morning i was closer to this definition of "remote" even though i was sitting in an office.

very much the opposite of my experience. i'd gladly have 30 copies of left-pad living in my project rent free if it meant i never had to see "Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages" ever aga

a subscription to a notes service that is intentionally more barebones than the other options is something i really don't need. currently using joplin and its been working pretty well.

i almost bought a Kobo earlier this year but talked myself back into the Kindle ecosystem just for whispersync. while i vastly prefer reading on the kindle itself, i do often find myself reading on my phone during unexpected downtime. MOBI
