Agreed and well put. Lack of a decent Rails/Django option for JS/TS is part of the issue IMO, since that ecosystem is so popular atm. I also wonder if you have to get burned a few …

For junior developers reading this: frameworks are great, learn to love them, they will save you much time and stress when shipping real products.

If you like Python, I can recommend this: - Start with SaaS Pegasus https://www.saaspegasus.com/ - Deploy to Heroku - Get comfortable with "X-in-HTML" frameworks - Tailwind, HTMX, …

Happy SaaS Pegasus customer here! Reasons to love it: - Cory’s writing on low JS alternatives to single page web apps was game changing for us. And that’s all built in. 10x faster …

Thanks folks, much needed! Where is the list of destinations today?

Many of your integrations talk about “syncing” rather than event collection, which to me sounds like what Fivetran is doing. Does that distinction make sense and how are you thinki…

+1 for SaaS Pegasus. In particular, Cory has done a wonderful job in introducing a more pragmatic approach to Javascript with Django [0]. Plus he's built a strong Slack community a…

+1 For this recommendation, an exceptional book. In particular chapters 2-3 demystify how databases work, and provides an intuition on when to use different kinds of databases and …

OK, that's an interesting POV. To be honest, I was surprised that you advocated writing so many tests for each view, easily 10-20 per view. Part of the beauty of Django's various c…

We recently started working with "traditional" Django + Hotwire + React wrapped into web components for interactivity. We've previously tried React+Hasura/Postgraphile and React+DR…

As the sibling comment says, while I disagree with specifics this article is full of gems. @Alex3917 What do you think of using Django-rendered templates for views that don't requi…

Has anyone found a frontend JS framework + backend combination with the developer ergonomics of say Rails, Django or Phoenix? Would love to hear.

Any Snowflake developers reading this - the current snowflake-connector-python is pinned to 0.17, almost 1 year out of date now. Would be great to get that bumped to a more recent …

Fivetran has built all the custom OAuth flows for their 150 custom integrations and you can build it into your own (internal or external) applications, it is neat. @goergewfraser W…

Do you plan to support one-click integrations? (= Stitch Connect JS [0] / Fivetran "Connect Card" [1]) [0] https://www.stitchdata.com/docs/developers/stitch-connect/ja... [1] https…

You can do the same thing with the jupytext extension. But sometimes it is helpful to have the rendered results in version control, eg internally we use it to discuss data science …

IMO no one has done more to make deep learning accessible than Jeremy + fast.ai team. Thanks for the amazing work! My question is about the coding style - @jph00 I’ve read your fas…

Thanks, appreciate the response.

Top of my wish list would be a python VSCode experience at the typescript level of quality. Interesting that mypy is a Dropbox (GvR’s previous gig) whereas Microsoft has a competit…

What's the secret of the performance? Especially interested to see that it is written in Go.

How is Hobbes support for relational workloads? My favourite feature of KDB is mixing SQL-like queries with list manipulations. I see support for tables in the Hobbes docs [0], but…

The architecture you've proposed here has many overlaps with q/KDB (or Jd, Shakti), which does not (AFAIK) have a decent open source alternative. Looking forward to see what you bu…
