100% agreed. I always prefer a real-world approach like building an application from start to finish. A great example of docs I found recently was RedwoodJS: https://redwoodjs.com/tutorial

I had the idea in October and started creating in November. Made the first video, launched a pre-order, and worked on the content until January. The course went live in February.

I have mixed feelings about Udemy. On one hand, it's a large platform with lots of interested customers. On the other, courses are often heavily discounted and priced very low. 50+ hours of content for $20? You have to treat your audie

Great points. I've taken a few online courses and always had unexpected insights. For example, in a niche programming course, I learned valuable information about SEO. The expertise of a great teacher can impact you more than you'

Very impressive, nice work. What was the course and would you recommend Udemy?

Here's how I look at it. You're absolutely right you can learn everything on your own––but how long would it take? How much is your time worth? Is $100 for five hours of video worth the years of experience the author might have? F

Check out their new documentation format: https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/1253031147459604482 They're using their design resources on product & documentation updates, which I can appreciate.

You can disagree with the design you prefer, but there are design fundamentals that are non-negotiable. The minimal "spartan" design of Sourcehut probably works great for their audience. The same design approach would not work for

This post was originally written in 2017. Since then, many sites have copied Stripe's design––almost exactly in some cases. I'd argue they started a trend and others have since followed. Yes, Bootstrap helped introduce specific pa

How does Stripe look "Bootstrappy"? Could you provide a specific example?

Fair points – "reshaping the web" was a probably bit overzealous.

I say JAMstack because saying "static sites" causes a lot of confusion. It's easy to hear static and think vanilla HTML with no backing data source. JAMstack, to me, is a better explanation for a static site generated by dyna

Thanks for sharing stdlib, I hadn't seen it before. Netlify Functions are essentially AWS Lambda functions. They just abstract away all the tedious parts for you. Serverless functions with Next.js & Vercel have an abstraction with

It really depends on the scale of your organization. Microservices do have their place, but I'd argue that most of the time monoliths are fine.

Static sites have evolved. Today, they can handle real-time requests, process payments, manage customer accounts, and a lot more. Some other benefits: * Cheaper – Not making requests to the server on-demand * Faster – Served from a gl

Creator here, happy to answer any questions. Here's why I built this. JAMstack (JavaScript, APIs, and Markup) is fundamentally reshaping the web. Coined by Netlify's co-founder, JAMstack bridges the gap between static and dynamic
