I read The Obstacle is the Way last year and I liked it. Also, Man's Search Meaning is a very interesting book about the personal experiences of Viktor Frankl surviving 4 concentration camp during World War. His outlook on enduring suf

In terms of software design, I found that Designing Data Intensive Applications to be very informative, I am going to give it another read next year. It cites a lot of references at the end of every chapter for the reader to explore the var

Any chance you have that ORM of yours open-sourced somewhere?

Just took a look at Chi's RESTful API example, I like it. I also like the benchmarks. Judging by most of the comments on this thread, it looks like the community favors modular small tools over big fat frameworks, is that true?

Cool. How do you serve your frontend app? Do you do it via Buffalo or nodejs?

by aalhour 9y ago
Interesting. What do you use gRPC for?

Sweet! Buffalo looks really interesting. I was playing with Sails the other day, which is a Rails-like framework for nodejs, I will try Buffalo and try to compare the experience. Would you recommend Buffalo for a JSON Web API mobile backend

Are you going to open-source it? My company was looking at Deis but then Microsoft killed the workflow project when they acquired it.

It's a insightful reply, I agree. I also don't like that thread that much, just because the guy was not a good human being, it doesn't mean that we need to reject all of his ideas because of his personality, that's a tex

Well, that's good. Can you share more about your skill-set and experience? I think a lot of JS Devs in Europe can benefit from it.
