I live frugally and am a big saver. However, the anxiety gets me every time. I suppose it's a small price to pay.

by jmconfuzeus 3y ago
As a programmer, it's always a few months of work before the client stops spending on development. At that point, I can go up to 3 months without work, which means high anxiety because if I wasn't able to save much, I have to scur

I'll add to that since this is Hacker News: If you're building a SaaS, don't use a front-end framework and tools like Tailwindcss. Instead, use a full-stack framework like Django or Rails and build your UI with Bootstrap. A l

by jmconfuzeus 4y ago
Yes because it makes it easy to build good looking UIs. You can move on to something like Tailwind but then your html will look messed up. You'll also have to pay for the Tailwind UI component library if you want to build faster. That&

I recently migrated a client's app to a $10 VPS. Before that, the app was running on AWS with a couple EC2 instances, RDS, and lambda costing about $300/month. The client was skeptical and asked about whether it's gonna be st

If you really want the best stack that will impress all your engineer friends then use the following: 1. Rust backend that communicates with another Go based API. Use Rust for the performance critical parts and Go for the rest. 2. Use Pytho

It's also good. There's also mailcow that provides a containerized solution. Running your own mail server is not hard at all.

I've been running my own mail server for a while now and nothing bad happened so far. Spam detection with rspamd is surprisingly good. If you like tinkering you might consider it as well. I used this guide to do it: https://

Why do Java developers wear glasses? Because they don't C#.

I see, it makes sense to force people to use different variables for iteration in that case because it can easily trip inexperienced developers up.

Dunno what you mean by getting it right tbh. for i in range(10) The statement literally declares or sets a variable named i in that scope. When the loop exits, i still exists in the scope with the value 9. If you call a function that was gi

I think we would be much better off using traditional html, bootstrap scss, and some jquery for interactions. But nobody likes to be boring so React it is. React itself isn't really the problem because there are some valid use cases fo

by jmconfuzeus 4y ago
Technically, it makes sense for Python to work like this because your functions are being bound to a variable i which is located in the global scope. I wouldn't call this a design mistake but more of a misunderstanding of how scope wor

Not OP but I'll give you an example concerning a project that used Material UI which is a React UI component library. For one, we had to rewrite the app 3 times because the library switched from Less, to 2 different css-in-js solutions

Depends on what you mean by "best". If you mean best as in quick to launch, performant, and easy to maintain, then I'd say PHP because it was built specifically for web development. The problem with PHP is that it's too

Web development has moved on to Javascript with a few Ruby on Rails stuff popping up from time to time. React is where the money's at these days. I don't see Python being used for web much. Neither do I see generic programming bei

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to check the errata while going through the book.

I'm studying algorithms too right now. As someone who sucks at maths and puzzle solving in general, Steve Skiena's book is proving to be quite approachable for me. Although I have to jump back and forth between the book and Khan A

Django has it but most people end up building their own because it's highly domain specific. The permissions framework is also so complicated that most projects don't use it. At this point it's worth asking whether frameworks

It could be because of remote work. Why should a company pay you $250k+ when they can hire someone from Philippines for $25k (10x less money) or less? I'm not saying this is a good thing but simply the reality. I've applied to a f

Yes it's crazy. They have a product for almost every problem a small business can have. Most companies would need a trillion dollars in funding before achieving the same thing.
