I shipped a ~8KiB status page app last week, it's still early days, but even with the features I have planned I doubt the size will be above 10KiB. With frameworks like Remix it's easier than ever to write React and ship pure HTML

I forked the blog example in the Next.js repo (hosting is free on Cloudflare Pages, and Vercel) and just started regularly writing about React. I spend maybe a couple of hours on each article. I learned to be a better writer, and its helped

Spend a few hours writing, spend maybe half an hour editing, and release it to the Internet. Let people comment on your work (via Hacker News, for example), and you'll quickly realise if you missed something

RDS, it's more expensive but I'd rather not have to manage my own DB. I wrote about how I came to the decision here in case you're curious: https://onlineornot.com/self-hosting-vs-managed-services-dec...

Slight tweak to my original statement: Just keep writing, and get feedback on each piece of writing. It gets better.

I wake up at 7am each day, and work on my own stuff until I either ship or it's time for paid work (normally it's two hours). It was incredibly difficult to get started, but once you persist it becomes an automatic habit. I'v

My particular favourite is how GraphQL servers respond with "200 OK" and the errors will be sent in a key called "errors". Makes regular healthchecks almost useless. I ended up writing my own service[0] to detect problem

I released the first version of a status page driven by uptime monitoring an hour before the first outage. Figured I'd point it at Hacker News to get an update when my uptime monitoring detected it was up again. The second outage gave

Actually go and read The Mom Test before you build anything else, or try any further customer conversations. It'll save you a ton of time.

It's cultural. Many companies will block folks from releasing "incomplete" work, so you end up with either no runbooks, or "complete" runbooks that go out of date incredibly quickly. Optimising for editing ( https:&

I've been using the same React stack as an employed frontend developer since 2016. Recently, I started using Tailwind CSS and Next.js in my own stuff, because I felt like it, not because anything was being deprecated. This kind of remi
