@Sotttti Exactly. That's what I meant by "aim for balance". In my case, the balance was things like strong static typing everywhere, very senior team, always ongoing manual QA or single-digit minute feedback loop.

@vRallev Unclear behavior is social is another name for "feature" 😅. More seriously, like the approach too.

Dealing with incidents and outages is fascinating. It forces a complete shift in problem-solving: tight time, high stakes, and human error. Adaptation and quick thinking are everything. Post-mortems (Meta 2021, Apollo 13, Chernobyl, Deepwater Horizon, etc.) are a gold mine.

@PreusslerBerlin There's also base58 I personally love. I'm talking about it in this thread
A few months ago, I built a custom URL shortener. Quick refresher: a URL shortener does two things: 1. Creates short URLs that map to long URLs 2. Redirects short URL requests to those long URLs.

And here is more G̶o̶o̶g̶l̶e̶ ̶M̶a̶p̶s̶ custom map delight: mutually-aware annotations. They dynamically adjust their size, visibility and z-index based on overlaps with other annotations and their importance. It's more work, but it brings WAY more flexibility and delight. ✨

@TechSupportMan2 The video is from an Android phone (i.e Compose) but we have exactly the same interactions on iOS where we use mostly UIKit here.

It's surprisingly complex to keep an app's download size under a few megabytes. Start with an empty app, add just 2-3 dependencies, and 💥 you're already past 10MB…

@itsandreramon Can you elaborate a bit? I'd like to better understand what is "anti-pattern" to you.
