A big issue I'm having learning back-end coming from front-end was to gauge if my implementations were correct at all. With front-end you usually get immediate feedback: CSS mistakes and infinite rendering loops are easy to spot. With

I find it fascinating how these conferences can't even hide their cynical uselessness[1] anymore. In the meantime at that exact conference we have countries frontally opposing nuclear power[2] – arguably one of our best shot at somehow

Still working on my side project, a virtual tabletop: https://bonfiretabletop.com , got a few hundred users, learned a ton of things about back-end, startups, and myself. But to be honest I'd not say no to a new full-time jo

Mailchimp/Mandrill is pretty expensive, but designing emails without a solid WYSIWYG editor is just too painful for my taste. Are there good, cheaper alternatives out there for transactional email and newsletters with good delivery?

I'm baffled at how bad Teams is, I also have to use it every day at work, and it feels like bad software that would've been made 10 years ago. Everything is painfully slow, counter-intuitive, buggy, it seems every view has to relo

Amusing, I embarrassed myself today as I forgot to renew a client's certificate. This kind of service is unfortunately too expensive for my needs (2 small websites to monitor), wouldn't that be possible to have a small software ru

The volumes of money being exchanged on NFT platforms – hundreds of millions of dollars per weeks – are making me kind of dizzy. Quality doesn't seem to have much influence on how well a collection does, to me it all seems like a giant

I had never worked with such API before so it took me roughly two days, the AWS documentation is abysmal, and I could've one that in just a few hours if only they cared about documenting their APIs better. My biggest mistake was going

I would quickly be in the $500/mo tier and that would be a consequent cost to handle since I don't really make that kind of profit yet. But I have to agree anything beyond 10K is very reasonable given the features. I just kind of

So far I've managed to keep the state in my side-project in sync with Websockets and Redux, Replicache sounds like the kind of solution I'd love to use, but boy the pricing makes it impossible to even consider.

There is a thing I feel a lot of developer forget about React: the ecosystem. I'm currently building a relatively complex side-project, and I love how fast I am able to deliver features by just bringing-in a few libraries, every clicks

I've been thinking about replacing my Mongo database with persistent Redis but I'm torn on this, I don't know what to expected long-term, what about migrations? It feels like once I'm going for a structure it'll be
