this might be controversial, but i just want to write semantic html and be able to toggle the design. if the design requires additional elements or JS, then it’s way too complex for a solo dev (for me anyway). i think classless css framewor

whenever i hear or read a google SRE resource, i’m most impressed by their back of the napkin calculations. it’s a skill i wish i had but don’t have opportunities to do it or even validate that i’m in the right ball park

The generated art is impressive, but there is no drawing that'll replace the one my daughter draws for me. AI generated art can reach and perhaps push the boundaries of what is considered beautiful, but it will never replace the art cr

FU money and practicality won’t align that well without a lot of luck. so optimize for luck.

It isn't unprecedented to ask the investors to write off their investments. Would it be too late to revert back to a private business?

I don't have experience, but would like to experiment with this as well mostly because of rails 7's turbo broadcasts can use SSE instead of websockets. From my research so far, as a frugal dev, I'm trying to figure out how di

as someone who gets paid in only cash, i was jealous of everyone who worked for stocks during the bull run. i actually think, now might be a good time to join a company after prices dropped.

thanks for that insight. that kind of throws drag and drop interfaces out the window

Your response got me to really look at fly... i have to try it now. After reading the free postgres and last mile redis blog post, i realized something... I can use probably the most under-used cache stores rails provides: the file_store, w

Can anyone speak to using a rails app to reach global users using fastly's surrogate tags or cloudflare's cache tags (Enterprise only)? After reading the OP, the tradeoffs seems more complex than a single origin in us-east and hav

ESI, at least on fastly, are run in serialized fashion. On cloudflare workers, you can have up to 6 concurrent connections to try to do ESI as fast as the slowest request.

wow in that case, this is huge for me… i’m currently architecting a rails app to have global users. turbo with http seems perfect to save bandwidth and fine tuned caching configurations… i might have to look at how/when the response is

I've always been hesitant with a introducing a websocket server into my rails application. If the websocket server goes down, you'll still be able to render the SSR-ed shell via the web server. Aren't we just introducing the

I think there's too much focus on the 4 in 4-day work week. I think why a 4-day work week is more appealing is because we'd have more time (3 days) doing what we love to do instead; We want to do things that bring us joy or give u

As you get older, your ability to remember things diminishes. On top of that, you will likely get more busy as you take on more and more responsibilities. I think you haven't hit rock bottom yet to say "i don't want to fuckin

i hope to one day have my own classless css page. if i combine it with cdns, body replacements (like with turbolinks) and pre fetches (like instant.page), plus all the bytes saved by not having to write class names everywhere, it seems like

cloudflare let’s you purge the cache via API, but frequent busting is probably not okay

my advice is that you need to both consume and produce system design. don’t rely on interviewing people to test yourself. you have to practice talking or writing and stop settling with the feeling that you just learned something and will ha

a boss that scoffs at your concern sounds like a boss without empathy. that can hurt for even more important issues like when you really need time off. i’d talk to him about how you’re interpreting these events and see how he reacts as a fi

oh and my idea for updating writes to a sqlite file was to send all writes to SQS, batch items with a lambda function that would update the sqlite database on EFS. it’s all theoretically possible, the issue is the user experience. how to sh

when I saw that post a year ago, i thought that you can postpone scale issues with a cdn for a good long while if you could find a mechanism to update the sqlite chunks in a predictable user-friendly way. it’s quite an innovation. after som
