eezing··on Twenty, a modern CRM alternative to Salesforce
You buy Salesforce because your boss told you to. If you believe differently, you’re the boss.
eezing··on Heroku Postgres is now based on AWS Aurora
“Amazon Aurora Serverless is an on-demand, autoscaling configuration for Amazon Aurora. It automatically starts up, shuts down, and scales capacity up or down based on your application's needs.”
eezing··on It pays to be a double major in college
It pays to be a hard worker… thanks for the tip.
eezing··on Figma’s Journey to TypeScript
Aren’t there enough frameworks available to avoid Webpack? Seems pretty low level for app developers these days.

I’ve done Webpack configurations and Browserify before that. I’ll be glad if I never go there again.

eezing··on Did we lose our way in making efficient software?
Google Docs is pretty efficient. It loads incredibly fast and you never have to manually update it. But, it clear has limits… 30MB Word files.
eezing··on A feature-rich front-end drag-and-drop component library
Slightly slower is an understatement. Absolutely useless on touch. No fault of Atlassian, but why use the HTML 5 API knowing it’s trash on mobile?
eezing··on Infrastructure as code is not the answer (2022)
Infrastructure as code can be useful for complex systems.

These days, the cloud providers have pretty good abstractions that IMO diminish the need for IaC for many use cases.

eezing··on Type-Safe Printf() in TypeScript
Being multi-paradigm with a Java like syntax doesn’t hurt.
eezing··on Type-Safe Printf() in TypeScript
You’ll convert, it’s only a matter of time.
eezing··on Show HN: Query Your Sheets with SheetSQL
Can do this for free via GCP BigQuery console.
eezing··on Comparing Postgres Managed Services: AWS, Azure, GCP and Supabase
I believe AlloyDB is GCP’s flavor of AWS Aurora.
eezing··on My notes on Gitlab's Postgres schema design (2022)
We shouldn’t assume that this schema was designed all at once, but rather is the product of evolution. For example, maybe the external_id was added after the initial release in order to support the creation of unique ids in the application layer.
eezing··on Why Postgres RDS didn't work for us
AlloyDB on GCP could be a good fit here.
eezing··on GitHub Actions Are a Problem
I’ve been using a Makefile in front end projects for years- use it for all dev, build, test, and deploy scripts. Local users and GH Actions use the same Make targets. Our GH Actions are very lean.
eezing··on Microfrontends should be a last resort
If reusable frontend code for your within a single organization or business unit is important, then having separate repos is crazy.

A monorepo with separate build pipelines is better, but still unnecessarily complex.

A framework like Next.js can do the heavy lifting for you. One build pipeline where components are shareable, and pages/routes ans entry are isolated during development and can be deployed independently if required.

eezing··on Ask HN: Whats the modern day equivalent of 80s computer for kids to explore?
Computers weren’t on my radar until my grandmother surprised me with one. I came home from school and there lay 2 huge boxes. I was on my own from there.

I was given the opportunity.

eezing··on Bay Area drivers may soon get automatic tickets for speeding
“The bill was passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee on July 11, in a 10-1 vote”.
eezing··on S.F. says incidents by Cruise, Waymo driverless taxis are ‘skyrocketing.’
Do they use the metric system in San Francisco?
eezing··on Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs
“…can be selected for copy-pasting by double-clicking”

Details matter.

eezing··on Guess the Game
The auto select ruins the game
eezing··on We Need To Talk About Vercel
No vendor lock-in here. Been running NextJS on GCP Cloud Run for years and each major release has become more Docker friendly. Just my experience.
eezing··on Let Teenagers Sleep
Less sleep is correlated with more device, tobacco, and drug usage. Weird.

But yes, school shouldn’t start before 9AM.

eezing··on Agile isn’t about speed, it’s about direction
Was the article created by a bot?
eezing··on Understanding the N + 1 queries problem
Correct. While data-loader facilitates data loading, type resolvers in GraphQL is where the solution starts.
eezing··on Programs are dead, and JavaScript has killed them
Just run “npm ci” next time.
eezing··on Ask HN: I will become a father tomorrow, what advice could you share with me?
In the hospital after my son was born, my wife and I were coached on breast feeding by the staff. The coaching was overall helpful; however, one of the recommendations was to avoid pacifiers. We endured two nights of crying in the hospital and a few more at home before giving in to the pacifier. It was a game changer, we slept well after that.

Advice will come from people with beliefs that may differ from your own. Additionally, what works for some may not work for others.

Here’s my advice. If your baby is crying and you’re not sleeping, make a change.

P.S. Before trying the pacifier, we ruled out hunger as the cause for crying by supplementing with formula.

eezing··on A Blindingly Obvious Solution to the Fake News Dilemma (2021)
I’ve hidden all content from Fox News and CNN in Google News. It’s great.
eezing··on Using a framework will harm the maintenance of your software
Not using a framework will harm the maintenance of your software.
eezing··on SmooshGate (2021)
I’m in favor of Array.smoosh
eezing··on Missing the Point of VR
Quest hardware is fantastic, but content is king.

The top selling titles on Quest have been at the top for years. The Apple App Store model alone will not catapult the platform.

Meta should deprioritize Horizon (a Mii lookalike ain’t it) and spend the next 10 years developing 1st party titles. Set the benchmark. Learn best practices. Let the technology evolve.

We’re not ready for Ready Player One.
