In what way does the UK have "considerably more rights and freedoms" than the US?

I've used Zapatos and can vouch for its effectiveness. It doesn't bind you into any specific way of setting up your database or defining models, but provides an extremely easy way …

This is an extremely strong set of features in one language. All the best in this project!

Would love to read about some examples / strategies in a blog post some day!

Yes, and since typing is only at compile time, it's also missing some of the extremely convenient pattern matching syntax that I love from Haskell, Rust, Scala, etc.... Despite som…

Recent updates in TypeScript have also made ADTs much better to use and make expressing business logic in a statically safe way. It's incredible how much mental overhead that good …

The more time you spend on this site the more you realize that it is not immune to the same problem that other sites have of people acting as if they have something insightful to s…

The fact that it's been well over 3 years since the introduction of hooks in React and people still don't understand how to use them makes me very worried for frontend development.…

This looks really cool. It would be nice to see some benchmarks against something like electron to see how they compare performance-wise for end users.

This is really interesting. Would you mind sharing a bit about how you keep the data that is shared across services in sync? Or is there a hard separation of concerns so that servi…

Fantastic article. This kind of insight into how people break down complicated problems into more manageable pieces is extremely valuable.

This looks fantastic! Looking forward to diving in a bit deeper.

They do based on what I've seen, you're right. I'm speaking more to the consistency of styling across the project, but if the UI library is separated out from the rest of the proje…

Thanks for these ideas! The react-aria seems quite interesting to develop a UI library library using Tailwind-styled elements while accounting for accessibility.

Nice - I've seen a recent explosion of good libraries. I've seen Atlassian, Shopify, and others open source subsets of their own libraries as well. Another less popular one that I …

Looks fantastic. My only concern using this in a full React project is its lack of interoperability with standard libraries. It seems like for the best experience, you either buy T…

This is great - love the detail this goes into.

Agreed completely. I'm surprised someone deemed this fit to publish. The entire post seems to miss the point of UI frameworks and libraries entirely.

GKE in particular has a very high overhead cost per cluster. That's the only reason I bothered learning kOps and Terraform.

Yeah, definitely seems that way from all the feedback I've been getting. The exam is soon enough that I'm going to be getting it over with anyway, but I hope I can find something t…

Thanks for the reply - I would like to be close to the tech side if I can but it's been tough so far without the initial experience. I'll keep revising and sending out my resume to…

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. Honestly I actually enjoy leetcode-type questions for the most part so I don't mind practicing those at all. I'll take a look at my resume and …

Thanks for the advice - are there certain topics I can learn about or some way you think I can work on making my resume stand out in any way after acquiring those skills?

I highly encourage you to look at a picture of the inside of an airplane cockpit.
