"How you make the database connection work with serverless connection requirements seems like a minor issue." It's really not. See... databases like PostgreSQL aren't designed for an infinite number of simultaneous conne

I'm all for a monorepo – or to a lesser degree, utility functions that are re-usable across components. That's not what I'm talking about. Running NextJS as a handful of lambdas is fine, but you still likely need to initializ

Monolithic – yes. However, my concerns with Remix are that it intentionally doesn't align well with the premise of GraphQL – for better or worse. However, that's a very common pattern when you do need microservices. I.e. Remix d

Hey Lee – imagine that I've got a database I need to initialize on startup / teardown on shutdown. Where can I do this? It's inherently an async concept. There are no hooks. The docs for Custom Servers [0] begin with a bunch

On the NodeJS / React ecosystem - no one really wants you to do monoliths. NextJS, for example, doesn’t let you manage service lifecycle methods (unless you write a custom server - which they explicitly warn you against). NextJS wants

Nailed it. Almost as if I wrote this. One difference in application, though, is it seems you change your blades every time. I’ve not found a good / meaningful cadence.

How about the inverse, though? I'd love to identify which management teams set unrealistic deadlines to play mind games.

I have put in many that look like `TODO: can’t foo because bar. workaround with buzz. tracking: github.com/issue/1234` or whatever. Every once in a while I go back through and clean up what I can. I think this is good.

I bought one, and of course it hasn’t arrived yet (though I think it will in Q3). The best parts for me are the following: 1. It’s indie. 2. It’s accessible. 3. It’s got a completely different engagement model. I have a 7yo who I bought it

if the "red" function isn't successful, than you're mapping that error to what? a RuntimeException? great – you've now escaped the indirection with the original solution – just use RuntimeExceptions. map it to anoth

I'm just suggesting that Checked Exceptions aren't well enough adopted and there's grey area between what constitutes a checked / unchecked exception. I have no problem with Either<Error, Result> though.

sure. consider me ignorant of proper error handling. looks like the "true scotsman problem", though. i'm using state of the art packages like jgrapht which throw runtime exceptions, and i'm manually catching those runtim

There are a lot of problems in the JS and Swift communities, as there are for Java. I think you’ve got to meet your customer where they are, and if you can ship Java desktop apps, and they’re happy… keep going. But you’re not shipping apps

But the problem is that checked exceptions create the same “what color is your function” problem for errors.

Definitely an issue in 8. My hack is to call everything an `int`, write the statement, and go back and let IntelliJ handle the proper name, adding the import, etc. I understand though, that in more recent versions of Java this is taken care

Great error handling? What does that mean? Checked exceptions seem cool at first, but are really just nonsense… as your only real way of dealing with this is: 1. Catch, log and rethrow, or 2. Wrap as a runtime exception (so you don’t have t

I think it has a relative speed performance over languages that are interpreted (runtime). It also has an ecosystem of tooling to monitor and profile built both into the JDKs and by teams across Silicon Valley (eg first class bazel support)

What you said made a lot of sense. I wish HS chem was explained in this way. For me there was a bit too much mystery - the introduction of the third atom explains quite a bit in my mental model.
