Just start. Use whatever style you are used to. Use controllers. Adapt your style as F# pulls you deeper inside the pit of success. You'll struggle the first couple of features, bu…

I've been using F# professionally for the past seven years across different contexts. First in a small software shop and now while bootstrapping a SaaS company. Some observations: …

For the small price of 10x slower tooling. I’ve been using F# full-time for 6 years now. And compiler/tooling gets painfully slow fast. Still wouldn’t trade it for anything else th…

Very interesting project, thanks for linking. Was thinking about building something like Oban.Peer a while ago. We're not using Elixir. Might use Oban as an example :-)

This is all fun and games but how do you catch-up after a disconnect? Why choose this over logical replication?

> F# is still a great language, but the main fact hasn't changed: C# isn't bad enough for F# to thrive. C# will always be more popular because it easier to learn. Why? Because it l…

What's the difference between an opaque token and a cookie that has a single session identifier in it? 'y know - the way we did it in the 90's.

Implementing pdf.js is a lot of work. $199 for a decent implementation would be a steal.

I've been using a Planck for the past couple of months but after seeing your post I'll have to get a "Let's Tango". Why oh why did I have to see this. I was satisfied.

It's a lot easier to catch a fish in a small pond if you're the only one fishing. Was a lot easier to hire a competent F# developer than it was to hire a competent C# developer. No…

Learned a bunch, thanks!

I see a lot of snowboarders get into an identity crisis as they get older. Should I still snowboard if I'm not sending jumps and jibs all the time? Yes. Yes you absolutely should. …

I've been using F#, Giraffe, Fable.React/Feliz, and Fable.Remoting in production for the past four years. Fable enabled us to grow and maintain a stable team of people that work bo…

Using F# on Ubuntu for two years, it’s lovely!

The company I work for defaults to F# when choosing tech for a specific project. We defaulted to PHP and C# in the past. We have quite some experience training people who just grad…

The swelling is a battery issue. Myself and two other colleagues experienced the problem and had it fixed.

I totally agree with you! I've used react and redux in almost every project last year, but that doesn't mean the entire web app was written using react and redux. 50 ~80% was plain…

I am well aware of server side rendering but you still need to send all that javascript to the client, whether it ran on the server or not. Wouldn't exactly call this a "little bit…

I'm amazed at how many people use a client side framework, am I the only one who prefers good old server side rendered static html with maybe a little bit of javascript on top? Whe…

Yes! Go snowboarding! You'll never be as good as the guys in the videos but you'll definitely be able to feel what they feel! Super fun!

I’ve implemented this. TLDR: orm’s + large transactions resulted in a lot of unexpected complexity. At some point you get really big transactions because one write triggers five pr…

Do older and bigger fish evolve to live deeper or do fish that live deeper get older and bigger? Humans think that we can tell cause from effect but this is rarely the case.

The best way I can think of is to aggregate errors over time, categorize them and build a health check around those metrics.

Can anyone explain why eventual consistency is so scary? The way I see it, eventual consistency is everywhere. Even in your non-distributed synchronous CRUD app. The minute you sta…
