What books have you enjoyed thus far?

How do you typically meet new people?

I have an open mind and love to read, shoot me your favs!

Any recs?

Oracle free VPS and deploy Postgres. Meet your own needs

The question is a bit overloaded. How do you define hard? Mentally taxing? Time consuming to figure out? Requires collaboration with cross-functional SMEs to build a robust solution?

I work in a distributed systems role. There are many things to consider all the time when building high throughput applications with multiple layers of concurrency, caching, micro services and points of failure. While I’m not proving the Hodge Conjecture, I’m still pretty beat at the end of the day constantly keeping up and learning things.

People who claim things like front end is easy, then why are they themselves not the number 1 best front end engineer in the world? Because it’s hard. Everything has complexity.

+1 for activity pub support and this thing would definitely be used.

How did you break into freelancing?

Curious on ideas outside of AI

When I was in highschool I picked up stocks for dummies. It was a very good read and really educated me. Bogleheads guide to investing was also very educational (but a bit dry).

Basic Economics is great, but dense. Planet money is an awesome podcast!

Neat idea. I’m taking a couple weeks to relax this holiday and will experiment with this.

I’m in the boat where I’m always learning, but get easily distracted since some tech is a huge dopamine hit whereas sitting down and deeply studying something isnt.

Edit: just ordered the hardcover book

Lovely tool

I think pgadmin is better than dbeaver

Just ordered this, thanks

What else do you want? It’s decentralized and people can follow you across different instances.

- Modal popups - Unnecessary animations - Cookie banners (someone fix this) - cluttered websites - back button hijacking

NextJS, tailwind and cloudflare workers

To be fair, their prices are dirt cheap and they offer a lot. Their product catalog is also growing nicely.

Sweet thanks for sharing

Didn’t they just release logs and ip addresses of users in India?

Not too many complaints. I like it much better than Java backend.

Go and Typescript are now my go to for everything I think.
