I used to be CTO of an Uber Eats style service that ran on hosting costs of about £100pm. Thousands of orders every few days, real time driver tracking, self hosted invoice generat…

Absolutely. I live in Glasgow and it is a perfect environment for walkability, culture, music and great food. Wouldn't live somewhere rural/suburban if you paid me

VSCode was essentially unusable for me on large projects. We're talking thousands of source files and god knows how many node_modules entries. Things like Go to Definition would re…

I have always used class-validator for this. The custom validation stuff always comes up in backend dev eventually so starting with it has always been the right call for me. This i…

Too right. Glasgow is cracking down on new AirBnBs but not hard enough in my opinion. A city is for the people that live and work there, primarily. Tourism should be supported, but…

Why the "vaccines" in quotes?

I noticed this pattern of development in my town of Livingston, in Scotland. it's a "new town" i.e. was planned and built in the 50s to support the postwar boom. It is one of the f…

should be in school by 7am or it won't build character? 65% of kids in America are driven to school by their parents. the socioeconomic state of that country including mass, sprawl…

Musk is a textbook fraudster who is pioneering fake ideas, especially going to Mars. The maths provided by SpaceX for the Starship just do not translate into good astrophysics.

Is there a way to have multiple mirrors for releases? much like APT would have in sources.list

I get very happy seeing people run Docker Swarm in production. we need a community!

Using Docker Swarm as an alternative to K8s in prod has been incredibly helpful for us as a growing startup. You get 90% of the advertised K8s goodies for almost zero extra complex…

in our teams experience NextJS is pretty much a silver bullet for data heavy enterprise apps
