Exactly this, but with some automatic content grouping. Also, the ability to read the whole content in the reader instead of having to go to the site. But that depends on how RSS/Atom exposes the content; this is why I am not a big fan

My blog works similarly [1]. Everything is written in Markdown, then Hugo builds the site, and GitHub Actions publishes it to Pages. While my blog gets around 20k monthly views, discoverability is still a problem. [1]: https://re

Along with Hashnode. They all started with the promise of democratizing blogging, only to adopt all the dark patterns within a few years.

Shilling is welcome as long as it’s not corporate ;) Love FF, this looks promising.

Not sure I fully understand what you mean by distribution here. What I meant is that the ratio of personal blogs supporting RSS to the total number of blogs is too low, indicating a lack of adoption. I’ve emailed many technical writers whos

Not saying we need to abandon it, but I’m not a big fan of RSS itself. Yes, there’s an ecosystem, but it’s neither extensive nor mainstream. Feed readers are hit or miss, and I haven’t found one I like. Subscribing to 50 people is enough to

Neat. I maintain a blog myself[1] and prefer reading content written by actual human beings, not corporate shills or spammers masquerading on Medium and Dev.to. But I feel like the whole indie web thing hasn’t taken off because of discovera

Yes. My native tongue is Bengali—the 7th most spoken language in the world. I learned English at school and later started working remotely in places where English was obviously the primary language. Then I moved to the US and spoke Bengali

I feel the same, but for Django, even though I don’t write Python as much these days.

I worked at two startups before realizing that they weren’t what I wanted out of life. Work is important to me, but so is life. I was duped into this vision of entrepreneurship and making it big in startups. While every startup founder like

You need a critical mass for any decent discussion to happen, but there’s also a tipping point—go beyond that, and no matter what you do, it turns into chaos. A bunch of people here have mentioned having great conversations back in the old

My point is that the JS ecosystem is masqueraded by script kiddies who will throw a hissy fit every time someone criticizes JS, and you just proved that ;)

Fascinating read. Those suggesting Mongo are missing the point. The author clearly mentioned that they want to work in the relational space. Choosing Mongo would require refactoring a significant part of the codebase. Also, databases like M

Europe is always playing catch-up with the US. Even so, the number of Node.js backend jobs has declined in both Berlin and Amsterdam. I’m also seeing a ton of Java, C#, and Go jobs in London. At my workplace, Wolt/DoorDash, all new ser

Watching movies with your baby is spending quality time in my book. Doomscrolling, buying random shit you don’t need, not having the headspace to think clearly are the issues we were talking about.

JavaScript is an awful language. Doesn’t mean Java is the answer. There are other languages—Go, Rust, Python, C# that offer better protection without sacrificing ergonomics.,

JavaScript, in general, is awful as a language in terms of design, and more astute people have wasted many words on this before me. It was originally designed for writing throwaway frontend code, but people liked it so much that they starte

Spot on. I say this every time someone complains that they can’t stop scrolling Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts. Just don’t install those apps. Browsing them from a mobile browser is awful without the apps, and if you can manage to liv

Maybe that’s because you only know one language and focused on using that everywhere. I have worked at 2 of those named companies where people made conscious decisions of moving away from TS backend because JS is an awful language to be use

So is Go, and so is Python. The LLM craze shifted the focus from JS to Python a while back, and I’m all for it. That doesn’t mean I’m under the delusion that JS is going away anytime soon; at least from the FE. But its monopoly on the web t

You can’t win every war. Germany is a bit better, but not by a large margin. Wages are higher than in France, but so is the cost of living. That said, Europe isn’t struggling because of labor protection rules but because of its culture. The

Depends on what you mean by “keep going.” Does a decade and a half mean I became successful? Then yeah. I come from a middle-class SEA family, where education and frugality are bolted into our DNA, even when we can afford nice things. So it

Don’t pay for those—problem solved. No one is forcing us to do any of these things. Yelling at the cloud will rarely solve this. Blaming profit mega-corps for our woes is like trying to warm up the Earth to battle winter instead of just get

I don’t have any subscriptions except for rent, transportation, a cloud VM, and a domain for my blog, and that has made an incredible difference. This doesn’t mean I don’t watch movies or have fun—it’s just that watching movies requires jum

This is something I can get behind. I don’t want to be a deadweight to a company and still expect to get paid handsomely. But the reality is that tying visas and healthcare to jobs, and treating expats who pay taxes in the 90th percentile l
