I just realized how useful queues can be. Instead of letting the system fail under heavy load. You put the tasks in a holding place. They will be processed later. Computers have spoiled us with instant and now.... But even a 1 hour processi

Thinking at the function level. Instead of thinking: view, controller, Service , database . I write a function that does what I’m trying to accomplish, like image upload. It’s a small part that can be reused in some bigger system. Then mak

ASP.NET 7 with c# as a programming language. The tooling is mature, it's not going to rot. I've realize a lot of framework are great in theory but getting started and staying afloat is hard. This framework is typesafe, you can us

Chatgpt, provided you know how to program. I'm not even kidding. It's great with c# and static type languages. Create datatype, ask for basic logic, manual refinement, move to the next, if something is obscure, if ask for explana

My assumption is that people need to pad their resume with the trendy stuff. The tech that will ensure future employability. Can't risk working with old-timey tech. Gotta keep up with the fashion and the trends, because the industry en

Try Blazor is uses web assembly, you don't have to write JS. I find it easier than React since you only write 1 language. The tooling is easier and more stable and npm. It's fun to have SPA interactivity with no JS

I think it's a gate keeping strategy. Make the bar so high that only a few can get in. They might filter out some exceptional candidate and let in some regurgitator. But I agree of you can grasp those fundamental concepts you're a

My understanding is that the lower layer will outlive docker. Some new dev with no understanding of how bare metal OS operates will be stuck within the limits of docker. Like a goat who spent all it's life inside a fenced yard.

A lot of the complexity you see in code, tool or project are Job-Security sub projects. At first you have a bright eyes junior dev who wants to do the right thing, change the world they said. Little by little he realizes that documenting e

The lack of boilerplate. Low ceremony. Just write the code, save the file and run it. That in itself is a great feature.
