I have both NodeRED and Home Assistant but lately Home Assistant doesn't do pretty much anything anymore and everything goes through NodeRED :) I also run more things on my NUC like drone.io build server to run my tests and few more th

I did quite a bit of experimentation with home automation systems (HomeSeer, Home Assistant, Domoticz and so on) and decided that the best (at least for me) and the most control giving solution is NodeRED - https://github.com&#x2

Unfortunately Azure AKS is quite hacky and shouldn’t be used in production (heard that from MS people). They will be releasing a more production like K8s distro in near future but it will have different caveats. On the other hand if you loo

great news :) Flutter/Dart was a joy for me to code in. As a backend engineer I could pretty much skip all nonsense and just build a simple Android/iOS app in a matter of days. I didn't even have to use Android Studio, built

I have been running https://webhookrelay.com/ as I side project for the last two years and since last March it's quite profitable. Environment is highly automated, running on GKE, builds and testing on drone.io while d

In one of the startups that I worked marketing people really wanted us to quickly go through version 1, 2 and reach version 3 because "many corporations aren't even looking at tools if they are not version 3 yet" :D They didn

And comparing AWS to GCP is like comparing Hubble telescope to James Webb telescope :) Recently I have moved my infra to a more hybrid architecture where all complex services run on major cloud providers while stateless compute services run

For servers I prefer using: https://github.com/alecthomas/kingpin , allows you to really nicely expand based on main arguments with flags. Also, setting defaults is a joy. For CLIs - https://github.com/s

Charles Stross Accelerando is fantastic, one of the best books I have ever read. I wish I could find more like it. There are some great videos by him where he talks how hard to establish a realistic fictional world 50-100 years from now as

I remember in my first job our CEO was quite proud that he bought the whole office building himself and then rented out to his company. He said whole mortgage will be repaid in 8 years... :) I guess the only difference was that it is a smal

Nice to see it mentioned here :) I am currently using it as a "helper application" to perform certain tasks such as health checks of my projects and automating several GitHub actions. I have wrote several blog posts about it: - si

It doesn’t seem you know what flutter is:) performance and tool chain is orders of magnitude better than the alternatives. Please try it out. I am a go, python, js dev and I find flutter offering the best developer UX

yeah me too, 'stuck' :) I have been using it for several years but I am getting a bit annoyed by it. I just don't think I extract enough value from the paid product. Also, I feel locked-in too...

Even though I do agree that the total recording of sessions is not nice, such tools can be extremely important during early stage testing with your web app's UX. Especially for solo founders who don't have colleagues to tell them

I used Hyper.sh for my side project 2 years ago during the initial development phase. It was really easy to start with but I wouldn't say it was stable. Every month or so there would be downtimes or the container would run but for exam

Cool :) I have done my bachelor's project around wifi location fingerprinting back in the day. Took a year but with a bit of tweaks we did manage to calculate pretty accurate models of signal propagation by just having a wall model. Th

I am not sure why are you saying that the customers don't want to run their own instances as they are very lightweight. It makes architecture really flexible as one Prom instance can scrape whole environment. New applications just need

This is my favourite stack :) built webhookrelay.com with Go (although not Gin, just negroni mux) + vue + vuetify fpr material components. Working on both backend and frontend is a joy and I feel super productive. The main thing with vue is

I have tried compressing several PNG images, felt pretty much instant. I normally use trimage but this has definitely more features.

I have been following TiDB and TiKV for a very long time and whenever I would look at it, I would be quite impressed. Code base is very clean and well structured, architecture is great as well. Really looking forward to see more adoption o

I think it's quite interesting as few years ago consultancies weren't valued that high and investors wouldn't think that investing into a consultancy is a good idea. With Redha and now Heptio acquisitions it seems like times

yeah, my experience was the same. It's a really nice database to play with or for a small project but if you need a multi-node HA cluster, the price quickly becomes prohibitive. I guess if I ever need a graph database again I will prob

I live in central London in a 3-4 years old building (24 floors) and the elevators are truly a joke. Every 3-6 days they somehow get out of sync with which floor they are currently on, especially if you go first to -1, after that pretty muc

I have 1080Ti, but haven't tried installing any games yet. Last time I had a gaming PC it consumed way too much time so currently I try to use my ps4 for gaming as it's a lot easier to get bored by it :D

Apologies, didn't want it to sound like "you have to use Ryzen for everything now" :) I wouldn't recommend it to most of my friends or my family for the same reason you mentioned, none of them will utilize those cores. I
