This post radiates an idea that Django is a dying framework. I cannot emphasise how wrong the entire premise is. I’ve used a bunch of frameworks all over the python/nodes/jvm ecosystems. But every single time I come back to Django

This is beautiful. I used to think about this problem deeply. The best imaginary system I did imagine was: - A system that starts with our database schema - a language in the front-end that abstracts away server connection and db access - t

A simple trick I use to validate any full-stack framework is "Can I build an ERP system with this framework" ? It's not perfect, but ERP systems have everything that modern apps do #1 authentication #2 role based authorizatio

I'm curious how a generation of us grew up curious what a computing machine could do, just because it had all those fancy keys to press. They pushed us into creating stuff. But these days, we have smartphones with a hundred times more

This is my nightmare. My current delusion that keeps me stable - is that since I know the fundamentals straight, like what makes a processor better, what makes a language better and what makes a framework/library better I should be abl

I'm running two different projects on a single instance of cheap VM too. Both of them runs on a not-so-memory-efficient programming runtime, yet the VM handles the load just fine. Of course, a lot of it depends on what your app does fo

I use a slightly different strategy. I made https://closetab.email so that a weekly digest of my bookmarks are delivered to my inbox, every monday.

Great work! The ideas are intriguing. I want to know more about the quering approach. How is it better than SQL or other document quering representations? What is a concurrent data flow virtual machine ? What is the contract to make this

You hit the nail. Yes bookmarking is broke. Most bookmarking services act as dumb buckets of information. Like an endless abyss of links that I'll never return to. That's why I made https://closetab.email - This one de

I built https://closetab.email specifically for this problem. I set a timer within which I'd like to read the tab, and immediately close it. The extension emails me a digest of all these tabs, once a week - until I either f

Cursor positions are nothing but a counter. And counters are CRDTs by default, which means they are associative, idempotent and transitive. Best way is to have them as a separate structure pointing to an index.

I built https://closetab.email to periodically email me links from my bookmarks, so that I end up consuming them eventually. That’s my trick and it’s working for me. Helps me confidently bookmark something and close the tab.

I found myself ending up with 50+ browser tabs regularly - full of tabs I want to read later. So I made https://closetab.email that lets me mark and close those tabs. They all get delivered to my inbox every monday.
