   This sounds really interesting. Do you have any examples on GitHub that you could share?

   HN being text only is the number one reason (imo). I think the shift of internet content going from text->images->video has pulled the internet away from it's original purpose, communicating text and the written word. And HN stil

   I feel your pain. I would pay a lot of money for a portable low profile split kb with good trackball. Maintaining my own is fun but a bit onerous

   I’m currently reading To Sell Is Human and I can’t recommend it enough. There’s two sides of entrepreneurship, creating and selling. I tend to focus on creating as I’ve always felt a bit of distaste towards sales and marketing. This book do

   Searched Amazon for linen pants, 2/20 were cotton, most others were made of "cotton linen". Then googled cotton linen. Turns out its a blended fabric that avoids the disadvantages of both: https://www.yorkshirefabr

   I would say that you've misunderstood the sprectral nature of marketing. Yes some marketing is immoral, but not all of it is. It's not black and white. Charity advertertising or B-corp marketing would be on the other end of your s

   I think that we, as engineers, need to remember that this is what engineers created. Marketers told them what they wanted in terms of technology and built it, for cash. Not pointing the blame, but the state of dystopic state of marketing is

    How have you created a custom HN feed?

    Same as well. Basically authentication->firebase, authorization->backend api (I normally write custom python decorators for this)

    Thanks for the response. Is your use of ‘website’ intentional? As opposed to web application? Website -> generally static so use classic web tool (which jamstack is alternative) Web app -> classic user app with need for writing to db?

    Okay cool, so sort of like with a db with only a read action. But the benefit is that it’s super quick load time because of cdn cache?

    Thanks for this. I guess as a backend dev I see static pages as a cute website, rather than a full application, so struggle to see the huge benefit. Unless I'm missing something, and you can cache most of the site as static, leaving a

    Ah this is great, thanks. I'm confused by the same thing. I just came across Strapi, which seems really cool for building CMSs but I'm not sure how it works exactly. Will check out your thread

    I've tended just to go with the quickest and easiest thing for me, which is firebase + jwts. I'd be interested to know points to migrate away from firebase/google dependencies. I struggle to use anything else as it's so

    Sorry for the waffle...those terms are all from the DDD blue book. Agreed with the common sense. I guess that I just find it a bit lacking that such a core skill for engs is glossed over as common sense, when it might be helpful for junior&

    That's my biggest takeaway as well. Which is, as a cross functional team, the thing we should be talking the most about it is the domain. Not components in other layers as they are generally team specific

    I actually went in the opposite path to you. First reading the blue book, and then reading (and implementing Architecture Patterns in Python). I really liked APwP but I found that it did over complicate matters.
