I make a lot of prototypes along with maintaining production systems. A lot of the projects have to do with ML/NLP, which basically means I have to chose python as a core backend language. Which is great, I love python. My core production system and every new prototype is: - Django + PostgreSQL - Celery + redis - for long-running tasks - React - GraphQL - Terraform + Cloud-init to provision the infrastructure All qui…
Could you share what python libraries you use in your projects for ML and NLP?
- nltk - preprocessing
- spacy - preprocessing, entity recognition, part of speech recognition
- gensim - Similarity and clustering
- pytorch - ML model building

You may want to hire a native English speaker to check the text on your website though, it's full of errors and odd wording.
I turn existing websites into apps at https://webtoapp.design I went with Flask (python) + Bootstrap for my website. The apps are created in Flutter, which was a great choice looking back on it. This allows me to have 1 codebase for both Android & iOS apps (most customers want both). If developing an app for just Android would be 100% effort, developing an app for Android and iOS with Flutter is around 130% effort I'…

The impact on success is marginal, but I'd say that it's cost effective due to being more stable (in the easy to upgrade sense).

this is fantastic- do you get an affiliate fee? i'm looking a new phone and total cost of ownership might swing buying it through this site where do you source the deals? is there an api?
Elixir / Phoenix, Heroku with Postgres addon. Fronted mostly static with Stimulus + Hotwire for a few dynamic parts. Images via S3 + Imgix. Metabase (also on Heroku) for analytics. Trying to keep it as simple as possible. Not quite successful yet, but pleased with the tech stack so far.
Ruby on Rails, with a couple React bits in there for “islands of interactivity”. Coupled with old-skool Heroku it lets me punch above my weight class, iterate like you would not believe, and focus on the business. I only recently moved to Rails though. Before that I was full stack TypeScript, which was cool and I still miss the static types, but it’s worth going without them.
Node is great, but I didn't come across any frameworks that rival Django or Rails in terms of maturity, and for a side project with no special requirements in terms of scalability etc., I'm not really interested in piecing together multiple libraries or writing a lot of code myself.
I actually ended up building the back-end twice lol - I was looking for the opportunity to try out GraphQL (overkill really, and it goes against what I said about keeping things simple, but I felt it was a good opportunity to try it) and ended up hitting some big performance issues with Django + Graphene – not sure how much of it was my fault vs. Python's GraphQL being slow, but in the end I rewrote the API in Rails + ruby-graphql in half a day and the performance is 5-10x faster there.
Having had the opportunity to build the same thing in them both, I'd say that Django's ORM is quite a lot better (I prefer the Django way of "update the model and the ORM will work out what migrations you need" vs Rails where you explicitly create migrations) and I prefer the Python language (simpler syntax, Ruby has so many ways to express the same thing); but Rails is probably actually quicker to work with and the quality of the Gems available for common stuff seems better than the Django equivalents.
Ultimately both Rails and Django let you get a lot done with not much code and are pretty similar conceptually – I'm impressed with both!

How time flies... React, GraphQL and Terraform are considered boring and stable.
However I'd say React is so widely use I'd say it is boring and stable (as the frontend tech goes)
Terraform, well, what is the alternative? Clicking through web interfaces, or bash scripting the cloud-provider CLIs.
