I'm not so worried about the money but more about context rot. I used spec driven development for a week and I had constant compacting with Claude code. I burned 200€ in one week a…

Hey! I'm going to take a look, it sounds interesting!

I wrote my first program on an Atari 150XR from a book of write your own adventure at 7y/o, but I have to say I didn't learn to program until much later. At 13 I started doing my o…

From -10x to 5x. It depends a lot. I work as a web platform engineer so the datasets on some parts of what I do are limited. For a react project, there are millions of projects, co…

I read here some time ago an article of how LLM generated content is the new nylon/lycra. In the 80's this fabric was all the rage but now it just feel cheaper. The same happens to…

I love the idea of converge with the web and also like the simplicity of being able to see what is happening. I've also experienced the despair or having to debug the internals of …

Could this be the moment to start using ultra-capitalism?

Short term profit companies usually try to get away with giving you the less they can while charging you as much as possible. There are still mid size company that try to make a go…

The same is happening to me. I live in Europe and I'm a staff engineer with almost 40 y/o but I have to be honest and I think I'm not going to be able to grow on the corporate trac…

Same here, I wrote an article about why my company chose astro over NextJS and I was immediately added by a Vercel guy on LinkedIn.

I think that it depends a lot on how much customisation you have to do on top of NextJS to make it work for your personal use case. For example if you stay as close as possible to …

This might be confirmation bias but I'm very happy that we picked Astro over NextJS. Support for Standalone server is a must for our case since we run the biggest classifieds site …

Author here. This case study covers why we chose Astro over Next.js for modernizing Kleinanzeigen.de. Having built (and debugged) large Next.js apps before (see my other articles s…

Very true and I think is part of their business model. A more lonely/isolated user is more likely to buy stuff to soothe themselves thus clicking in the advertisements they show.

I felt in a similar position a couple of years back. Backend development at that time looked easy (build restful APIs of a database) and all the fun was in the frontend. So I start…
