A late but still very applicable disclaimer: I do work here! My original comment had the intent of my own personal opinion as someone who reads/writes tutorials as fun. But I owe an apology to the readers because I did not add any disc

You know what, reading it, this is a very fair callout. Im sorry. Last week I had seen a draft of this and thought to myself all these same things. It was a well written tutorial, and that it was exactly the type of format I wouldve hopped

One of the better examples of the extremely talented developer who does not understand customers/new users. Show us a screenshot or a video before putting an install button in front of us.

Always so happy to see a tutorial with actual substance. So much on LLMs lately is mostly blog spam for SEO but this actually is information dense and practical. Definitely bookmarking this for tonight. Also really happy to see a bonus sect

I love this. Thank you. As I understand it this only works for SPAs or other heavy js frontends and would not work on HTML. I think that’s fine. What I’m really excited is this combined with traditional mark up scanning plus (incoming buzz

Honestly, I havent been a nodejs dev for a long time. However from the outside in, if an alternative runtime was to steal the show so to speak, then Bun looks like it might be able to do it. - Full interoperability with the existing ecosyst

For me, no. It doesnt make sense to buy the cheapest version of something I use everyday.

Im so thrilled to see this come into Elixir! Ive recently transitioned away from writing Elixir full time (nearly 7 years) to a role that uses a array of strongly typed languages. While I still love the ErlangVM and Elixir, the benefits of

So far same as anyone state side. Either through past relationships or job postings. With this last company I’ve been meeting in person about once a quarter. Which has been nice.

This was a fun read! It reminds me of a very similar post I put out in 2018 https://by.ben.church/Get-notified-of-user-signups-and-plan-... But I think Peter did a much better job going through the mechanics and providing a

Found a good primer on Modern Data Modeling that Im sure a lot of us could benefit from. Helped demystify what a lot of my data engineer coworkers are up to behind the scenes

This is so awesome! Last time I used airbyte it look just a little bit of writing code to get this obscure Rest API to sync. I kept feeling like there must be a more generic way to do this for any API. So glad to see that you're headed

If you already know React I would narrow the list to Nextjs or Remix. Afterwards I would recommend Nextjs. Remix has some great concepts, however Nextjs is more mature when it comes to documentation, tutorials and deployment. So as a genera

Anecdotally there were plenty of remote only companies before the pandemic. So no. I don’t see this happening for every remote position. Some sure. But not all. Source: a Canadian who has been working remote only for a decade across many di

Oh man, so happy to see this. For me right now, Airbyte is that tool I wish we had at my last startup. We we're pulling data from a lot of weird places (servers in the back of mom and pop vet clinics). This meant writing a lot of one o

Give Hasura a try. Fastest way to spin up a CRUD backend while not limiting yourself imo.

This is something I hope a blockchain solution breaks through. A thought on how to do it. 1. Create a stable coin 2. Create a credit card that uses this token 3. Tie using it to some reward, supercharge it with VC if you have to 4. Release

Canada but pretty close. I’ve found crypto a great method when buying small apps and companies off people. Saves me $75 and a trip to the bank.

Take a look at AMMs. Essentially my deposit goes into a pool of two currencies. Let’s use USDC and EUROC for example. The pool is used to facilitate people trading from USDC to EUROC and vice versa. To trade through the pool you’re charged
