To some people, loading speed is everything. My experience has taught me that it is not. I work on web apps and I've learnt from experience that optimising software for simplicity and ease of change over a few milliseconds or kb is far

Agreed. I once worked with an engineer who seemed to have dedicated their career to reducing bundle sizes. I think it's easy to do things like this in the name of "better" because they're measurable. I'd advise that

I'm really interested in this problem.

In my naive observation, another explanation is that modern lights also tend to lean toward colder blueish hues than they did in ye-olden days, that were dominated by warmer, lower Kelvin hues more similar to that of candle light. Even look

I can't quite get onboard with RLS directly from the client. It seems like a risky and finicky thing to design database access patterns around, but they might be a stroke of genius that I'm too blind to see right now.

`ts-node` is my go-to. You could even `npm install -g` it.

Amazing. I'm grateful for the way this universe creates magical experiences for us. Sometimes I wonder if it really is just an accident.

Given the weather at the moment, I remember, as a kid, being astounded when I threw a paper airplane on a hot summers-day that didn't immediately come back down to earth like normal, but soared and soared and soared for minutes before

I've always faffed around with my font and schemes until about 3-4 years ago - now I just take the default everything.

I kinda wish I had one of these I could deploy to AWS using Lambda and DynamoDB for cheapness. Cognito is okay, but quite expensive if you want to make something popular and run it out of your own pocket.

The most complicated code we had was for generating receipts, which used some functions which we kept separate, because it made sense. Auth was handled by a middleware. And then once we'd stripped out all the layers, 95% of the handler

I once worked on a project that was basically a simple My Account application/area for a train ticket retailer. The backend itself held no data, but whoever built the backend had gone full service layer, with models and adapters to the

This might be something for my own trip, but the "trolley continuing for eternity" question was interesting to me. I experienced it as if the universe (the creator) was asking itself (me) whether it should carry on doing itself (l

That's a viable variation on the theme - but there may be some critical sanity tests you want to run before you let code near a production environment - depends on your appetite for risk of course.

My ideal currently looks like: - trunk-based workflow. Small commits. No feature branches as a rule to be occasionally broken - unit tests move left - run pre-commit (not necessarily run in CI). Emphasis placed on them as a refactoring tool

I must confess, that when I first saw it, there was a flicker of the sadistic part in me that hoped the creator had already learnt to type at 120wpm with it.

DDD isn't about libraries, CQRS, event sourcing, microservices or k8s.

It's easy to get stuck in a cycle of pleasure seeking. The only way to escape is to break the cycle and learn to say no to yourself. If you're anything like me it's hard. Very hard. If you're like me, your mind will come

It's not in my understanding and experience. But titles are just titles - each organisation puts their own interpretation on roles at all levels. The teams I've encountered that I think get it right see that Principals strive to c

This is worth saying again. DO NOT use psychedelics without medical oversight if you're at rock bottom. You ideally need to be strong enough to take some unexpected punches, and be in charge of an open, welcoming mindset. I'm bull
