I've read The Molecule of More and didn't consider it all too great of a read. There were some correlations that didn't sit well with me - one, off the top of my head, was an implication that MDMA consumption could make me po

I'm not sure there's a good distinction between web apps or websites today. Would you consider Instagram or Twitter a website or a web app? If I type 'IG ${username}' or 'Twitter ${username}' or '@${userna

SEO is important for web apps, how do canvas based applications deal with that.

I don't understand how if you're on a team in which you control both the front end and back end, you wouldn't understand these factors - "Will the server send IDs as ints or strings? Will it accept either? Which params a

The problem with GraphQL is on the front end. Suddenly, the FE team becomes responsible for understanding the entire data model, which resources can be joined together, by what keys, and what is actually performant vs what isn't. Inste

As someone who is relatively young, these "over-complications" have been the norm for me, which is one the reasons why I find it difficult to relate to HN especially in the development of web apps. HN's perspective on FE Deve

I disagree. How would you be able to validate data that you can map to your tables without hitting the db? If you wanted to add a new row of data to one of your tables, you would have to hit the db, get row columns and make sure that data f

I found it significantly easier to set up table structures and migrations through ORMs and abstractions as opposed to raw sql scripts. Moreover, many ORMs give you the tooling to validate data before hitting the db, which is also another hu

It's a case by case scenario. I built my project in a microservice architecture, so when the author states that microservices were built so that teams can enjoy their independence, it doesn't apply to me as I am currently a 1 man

That was their initial problem. Upon further reading, you will find that they found a solution in dealing with Lists with React Native. My initial comment had the answer - they brought in a component that visualizes lists from their web pl

Even if that is the case, is that your demographic? Are those the people calling for an uber? Are those people ordering off of doordash? Furthermore, code splitting / lazy loading is available on many SPA frameworks so you don't h

I mean, of course the co-creator of Django would say this. I wouldn't recommend newer generation of developers to build traditional web apps, let alone use jQuery. I don't understand why people think we're still in the age of

It's posts like these where I can feel the age of HN. For many developers, especially in startups, SPAs are all they've ever known. Now, I'm relatively young, but I'm old enough to know monolithic django before moving on

clients don't deserialize json. object graphs should be just called json or response body; you shouldn't use all these unorthodox terms. a failure will be caught if a 400 was sent. This is how axios works - if you try a request, a

No we won't. We have a standardized way of dealing with errors in which we will send 400/500 and have an error.data.err and an error.data.message in which err will give a title of the error, and the message elaborating the error i

by shroompasta 5y ago
APIs should be giving back specified error messages regardless as 4xx and 5xx errors can still be too generic. For example, if you're rate limited (429), a robust API will still give you back data on how many requests you've made
