I live frugally and am a big saver. However, the anxiety gets me every time. I suppose it's a small price to pay.

As a programmer, it's always a few months of work before the client stops spending on development. At that point, I can go up to 3 months without work, which means high anxiety bec…

I'll add to that since this is Hacker News: If you're building a SaaS, don't use a front-end framework and tools like Tailwindcss. Instead, use a full-stack framework like Django o…

Yes because it makes it easy to build good looking UIs. You can move on to something like Tailwind but then your html will look messed up. You'll also have to pay for the Tailwind …

I recently migrated a client's app to a $10 VPS. Before that, the app was running on AWS with a couple EC2 instances, RDS, and lambda costing about $300/month. The client was skept…

It's also good. There's also mailcow that provides a containerized solution. Running your own mail server is not hard at all.

I've been running my own mail server for a while now and nothing bad happened so far. Spam detection with rspamd is surprisingly good. If you like tinkering you might consider it a…

Why do Java developers wear glasses? Because they don't C#.

I see, it makes sense to force people to use different variables for iteration in that case because it can easily trip inexperienced developers up.

Dunno what you mean by getting it right tbh. for i in range(10) The statement literally declares or sets a variable named i in that scope. When the loop exits, i still exists in th…

I think we would be much better off using traditional html, bootstrap scss, and some jquery for interactions. But nobody likes to be boring so React it is. React itself isn't reall…

Technically, it makes sense for Python to work like this because your functions are being bound to a variable i which is located in the global scope. I wouldn't call this a design …

Not OP but I'll give you an example concerning a project that used Material UI which is a React UI component library. For one, we had to rewrite the app 3 times because the library…

Depends on what you mean by "best". If you mean best as in quick to launch, performant, and easy to maintain, then I'd say PHP because it was built specifically for web development…
