The tech industry is full of thought leaders trying to sell us their inventions. Adam should have said that Tailwind is a good solution for him. Instead, he said that Tailwind is b…

I just start coding, then if it sucks, I throw away the code, and start from scratch. Github branches help with this. When I start from scratch again, I usually do much better than…

ExpressJS back-end + NextJS front-end is the most productive one for me.

I agree with this. Fast API provides a better developer experience because of how simple it is, and it's also more performant.

I recently watched a Rails World 2023 conference talk where Aaron Patterson was laughing hysterically and making jokes throughout. Someone should check on him.

Read Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground. You'll realize that anti-social behavior is quite old. It could be that some people evolve to be anti-social so that society can progress,…

I tried learning algorithms during the past 10 years but I didn't bother taking it seriously because all the resources I used employed problems that are fun little puzzles but not …

It doesn't matter because all tech stacks do the same thing. The only difference is how they organize code.

Same. It's been proven time and time again that hard problems can be solved by simply walking away while the brain keeps working on it in the background.

Why not? If a solution suddenly pops up while you're walking in the woods, you don't want to get paid for it? Is the developer getting paid for the software he's building, or for t…

It's interesting how in 2024, managers still believe that building software is simply the act of pushing random buttons on a keyboard while moving a mouse. If the developer stops t…

Cool homepage but I don't even understand what this thing does.

I use Poetry because it makes my life easy and works just like Ruby's bundler and npm in Nodejs. Some people hate it because they forced people to upgrade a while ago. It's childis…

Good for you but they're niche features that most developers will never use. I certainly won't. That's why I switched to NextJS anyway. Django's implementing features voted by the …

Another boring release without much innovation. I wonder what's stopping Django from releasing more useful features like other frameworks are doing. Maybe the team is stuck in the …

What do you mean?

In your prompt, instruct the llm to return responses as markdown then use a markdown parser to display the response in your ui. Code will automatically be formatted.

It's not as straightforward as something like Insomnia because you have to write a script that will open a browser and pull the tokens from there.

How do you deal with oauth2 with curl?

I switched to Insomnia a while ago because it's less bloated.

I contributed features and bug fixes to popular open source projects but when I mention this to recruiters or during the technical interview, the interviewer doesn't seem to be int…
