Appsmith looks really cool, going to read up on it. I looked up DronaHQ but they don't seem to be very FOSS like at all, doesn't seem to have the majority of code available, no self hosting and the cheapest tier is $100 a month af

Saw the boring tech talk while look thru HN's search and it was great. Will read the "Release it!" book as soon as I can. I never really thought much about the idea of a my own 24/7 service but sounds like a great exerci

This looks incredible, thank you for helping create Budibase, gonna try it out when I can. Glad to see Svelte being used, really like how performant it is.

Amazing! I never heard of it before, but it looks robust already and seems to have momentum. Thank you, going to read up more on it!

Why the snark? I see value in no-code/low-code platforms for many people—integrating with "traditional" code to fill in the lack of domain-specific features and building a strong FOSS alternative early on is critical. I just

"Clever" code reminds me of Cowboy Coding [1] where people do something similar. But I wonder if there is more to "boring" than what not to do. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_coding

I was wrong to assume how access is treated in different places. I'm a poor immigrate but been fortunate to have lived my life in a relatively wealthy county in New Jersey where libraries are much more laxed. What can be done to give h

But how can we better define that threshold? Where you live and circumstances you have are just so expansive to control in a few sentences. One person threshold can be much lower than someone else dealing with long term debt and family obli

Thank you, I really do want to address those issues because they're important but I just don't know how to address them in a way that would do justice for all the backgrounds like you've all mentioned. The face of poverty is

Do you have any suggestions on how to start delineating those requirements? You're right that there's a lot of implicit prerequisites but felt the message would get lost if I jumped the rabbit hole from the beginning. I knew fello

Thank you heyitsguay, I'll definitely try to edit the article to factor that in. I'm sorry having not been more specific before. But how can I still target those that are fortunate to have libraries they can take advantage but jus

You're right, I made the mistake of assumptions that I based off my own experience. I'm a poor immigrant from Colombia and spent most of my childhood at libraries since my parents had to work but I was very lucky to have so many r

I'm sorry for coming tone-deaf for those who are in situations where they don't have the luxury to not pursue wealth. I added the blurb at the end, "But this all depends on your current situation; sometimes you do need to pri

How could someone in the situation you describe find a environment that is stress free? I was thinking public libraries but being impoverish would still make it stressful in that case. What are some approaches in that boat to get out of ne

You're absolutely right about "at some point in your life, you have to have had the time and stability in life to learn all that, and you need time and stability to work towards your goals in the present using those tools." A

Wealth is very important, especially at the level. I was trying to avoid that scenario with "nearly nothing" instead of "nothing" but I failed. Do you have recommendations to better phrase it? I was thinking more like fr

Content made them great. It was refreshing to find articles worth reading. Now you usually hit a paywall as they're more desperate to monetize before getting to the second paragraph for things that aren't worth reading. Those who

Interesting read and I agree that growth in technical debt is something to worry about. I want to get more involved and been trying my best to learn the skills needed but there’s so much to consider that it’s a bit overwhelming. I’m not fam

I'm not familiar with patent laws, what's the significant of this? I thought ECS was a software architectural pattern that any game engine could use, will engines no longer be allowed to implement ECS it without risk?

I agree that side projects can be fun. But I feel that the broader issue for many developers, including myself, is that we're cash-strapped. The majority of my classmates in University don't do any side projects; they spend their

Do you have any advice to more novice developers on how to be less “dependent” on dependencies? Where can we learn the lost art of writing code? It feels that unless you want to reinvent the wheel, you need a bunch of third party libraries
