Notable web-sites for Software developers?

Post by qsmrf » Sat, Aug 15, 2020, 1:58 PM UTC

Hi - I was just wondering if there is a resource or any website for software developers where they may be able to discuss with other developers regarding potential approach to building a particular... lets say a feature for a software.

For example: I am looking to build a search functionality for a website and want to discuss first with other developers and get their opinion on things with the approach I should be taking. Hope I have explained it well

Well... HN for one or Reddit, r/programming and r/webdev would probably be logical places to ask/discuss such things.

As for web search, something like solr/elastic search or even just Postgres eg http://rachbelaid.com/postgres-full-text-search-is-good-enou...

I used Postgres full text search (from Rails) and it was simple and easy to get going but never got beyond pilot stage so can't comment on longer term short comings/scaling issues that might exist for it.
