Youre right speed is king! Like most 0 to 1 it depends on how little tech I can get away with in the tech stack. For example https://cashflow.vc is csv files on gumroad. It was the minimum viable version to test if people would

Pretty natural. A lot of games already have to think about economics (e.g. wow). Now with crypto you can have an in game economy that can extended beyond your game making your users real money and incentivizing adoption.

I mean bubble is a great tool if you want to connect to airtable for a simple crud app. Outside of that I’ve been having a lot of side project success with Chakra UI pro on the front end and Hasura on the backend

No! I live 20 minutes from a lake, the ocean and a ski hill. If everyone moves away from the city then my place becomes a city.

I think all audience driven endeavours should be passed through the lens of "is it entertaining?" That doesnt mean you have to sacrifice information or rigor. But if excellent information is said and nobody was listening was it ev

Echoing what other people have said here and adding my own recommendation. - Dont use Medium, they will paywall your users and you cant use your own domain - Dont roll your own, it will waste time and marketing will get mad. - Not sure abou

But their lies more problems for a beginner. What are extensions? How do I find out about them? Which should be enabled? Is my code broken because of me? Or because I should enable an extension? Anyway. It’s all not caring about beginners t

Hasura is fantastic. While they don’t manage Postgres they do give you a one click deploy to Heroku. Overall it’s a fantastic tool

If it’s a greenfield/saas/crud project? 99% of the time choose Postgres. It will hit nearly any use case. You can always refactor if the project is a huge success and could benefit from a more obscure db.

I love this comment. Not for why you’d think though. I believe it shows how close the nodes for “web” and the number 3 have got in our heads.

People don’t care about years experience, or exact start and end dates on a resume. The same way they don’t really care about if any of their top 5 candidates can do the job better than one another. What they really care about is do they be

Well here lies the crux of it: If you tell a lie in the woods and no one hears it and calls you a liar… You can also invert the above with truth instead of lie and get a similar realization. Anyway, I’m sure you get the point.

I do love that this is literally old man yells at the cloud. Though in general our profession is built on and about building abstractions. I don’t expect every 2010s web dev to know the intricacies of memory allocation, nor do I expect ever

Honestly. It’s faster these days if you’re not a dev! Go for ghost! Or dev.to. But don’t choose medium.

Oh, as someone who's fluent in this stuff I can see the benefits. My issue is with people who complain that a site doesn't work without javascript. All I can think to say is "ya so?". I don't mean to sound petulant,

I can't be the only one that feels the whole "no js" argument is flawed. Its like "yeah it's harder to do malicious things if I disable JS, it's also harder to do malicious things if I don't look at HTML a
