The products we're building are more complex than they used to be, but I don't know if its true that backend development has inherently become more complex than it was in the past.…

There's a lot of C out there homie

> even Stalin would tell you that you are making an error in politicizing technology. Thank you, I loved this haha.

Vendor lock-in can be a real issue as you scale. I work at a company going through a hypergrowth phase, and we're more or less locked into Azure, which has been objectively awful f…

It's been a year since I touched an AWS lambda, but I'd bet money that cold starts are still an issue. There is a common hack that half works: have your function run every minute (…

You know it's always a concern, but context is everything. > small little one-off apps that might need _some_ backend functionality The security implications of serving a static we…

If security is a concern, this is probably a bad choice; this doesn't seem to be advertised as a bulletproof security solution to anything, rather a utility for small little one-of…

PHP is interpreted o.o

I think a lot of readablity issues with jsx are caused by the amount of logic react devs will put in their markup. It's painfully reminiscent of old-school PHP templating

To be fair, I see junior devs struggle with all build tools.
