If you got taken out that easy you never had anything in the first place. Try to make it more unique and ask people what they want and build those things. If you can have a feature request area and build what people ask for you'll always do well.
I don't even understand the internet anymore. I'll post something positive or share something educational and it won't even reach 1k people. I talk about getting beat up and it reaches 200k people and I get hundreds of followers.

yeah he fired our cybersecurity people and then when we get hacked he goes silent. I wouldn't be surprised if putin paid him a lot of money to overthrow our government.
Man AWS Amplify is a beautiful thing. I love how you can easily create CI development pipelines and see everything from monitoring, to lambda functions, to your API gateway all in one spot. I'm so glad I'm building my SaaS on top of it.

One thing I'm noticing is juniors have a way worse sense of time than seniors generally.
Juniors will want call after call about things they can Google or should be able to figure out. Seniors try to reduce calls/meetings and focus on productive work.
Just hired a junior dev
@IamKaiLaw
This happened in my hometown which is honestly probably worse than NYC. I'm definitely ready to move this town has been nothing but bad for me
@jesss_codes
I'd definitely recommend understanding databases before getting into React and Node.js. It should really be.
1. HTML
2. CSS
3. JavaScript
4. GIT/UNIX
5. MySQL/NoSQL
6. REST APIs and how databases work
7. Advanced JS and how it works
8. React
9. Node.js
10. Build projects
@CreeCoder
if this was correct i could've stopped learned a lonnnnnnnnnnnng time ago lol
what they arent adding is you constantly need to put the same amount of hours in throughout your entire career to stay relevant.
@jones_spencera
Nothing really changes for db you can connect to a SQL or nosql service like dynamodb, aurora, or RDS. you just change the connection string.
@charafmrah
JavaScript gets a lot of hate for whatever reason but the dx and tooling is 100000000x more developer friendly. I can develop an app in the time you're still setting up php.
Tech is in such a weird spot. Everyone is saying to do big projects to stand out. The problem with that is when companies see you starting projects or working on startups they generally think of you as someone more interested in operating a business than being a developer and it
@garethlewin
Yeah feels like weve been optimizing JS for the last 10 years and its still the same as it was except we have 100 different ways to manage state now.
What people think coding is:
Memorizing every function and keyword in a programming language.
What coding really is:
Becoming good at problem-solving and doing enough research to write solutions to those problems.
I miss the days where people wrote content and educational things because they enjoyed sharing it and writing. Nowadays it's people copying content, doing things only for money, using AI, doing whatever for followers including posting misinformation etc. there is just soooooooo
@SlimHeroics
I used to make layouts and tshirt designs for bands all the time in the myspace days. I dont even think i woulfve explored engineering without myspace.
@shadcn
This is a scary amount of changes reminds me of react.createClass in the early days. Just going to assume no next project can be upgraded without redoing it.
Harsh truth: coding is only hard when you haven't done it enough times.
The difference between you and an extremely good programmer is the number of times they've had to do the same thing over and over.
Want to be excellent with X language?
Build 500 X projects.
Surprised on the turn out so far 😆 seems like nobody is calling it X
This is why customer feedback is important 😆 otherwise you end up spending millions for no reason
Man Webflow definitely adds up, $30/mo per site (even non-live test websites) is pretty ridiculous. Deleting everything on there and converting it to Next.js/Tailwind which will be $0/mo to host on Vercel.
I thought Webflow's simplicity would be better for marketing pages but
@ikoichi
Been thinking about this a lot. Noticed a lot of companies are having a hard time finding seniors and I partially think it's because they're starting businesses that pay them the same amount if not more. As it gets easier and easier to make money online I feel like companies are
We're excited to announce that

What would YOU like to see in Solid docs? What pain points can we solve together? Let us know!
@shadeed9
this is a terrible example of TailwindCSS hopefully this doesn't scare anyone away from using it. TailwindCSS is seriously one of the best things that has came out for frontend development recently.
Hey all, I want to start engaging with others, so I wanted to introduce myself.
My name is Josh, my company is called Apptivity. I am a software developer and have worked with Sony, Nickelodeon, Post, Netflix, Namely, etc.
I would love to connect with others in the tech space
@tmagled_eth
So whats the plan just burn through all your savings from investments and then back to the normie job lol need cash flow some how to sustain things
@afonsolfm
I mean think about dropshipping businesses that's why they didn't last because the barrier to entry was too low. anyone could do it and nothing was unique about anyone's business everyone sold the same product(s) and did the same thing. The unique businesses are still thriving
@JaeOnTech
Yeah seems like AI has made companies devalue junior devs heavily. Companies want leaders but juniors can turn into leaders quick with the right team and advisement.
The biggest productivity killers in software engineering:
- context switches
- unnecessary meetings
- too many protocols or policies
- external distractions
- communication between too many apps no source of truth
what else would you add?
@ti_stephen
Say if the app is write heavy you want a queue to offload writes if its read heavy you want a cache like redis/memcached if you arent using lambda load balancers could go down too where you might want nginx static cache. Probably also want db replicas for fault tolerance.
@AdamRackis
A lot of stuff in frontend is way too overhyped. I think the other thing is most of the time you need all of your data with payloads not just a small bit to grab more later. it just adds additional complexity for almost no real benefit unless your APIs are sending a tonnn of data
@Dev_AbdulHaseeb
Feel like it's pretty common, it's kind of like rubber duck debugging. hearing things out loud usually helps you work through a problem easier when you walk through the steps.
For example you've probably seen someone confused on something and then when they walk you through the
Fixed a few bugs and added a 100mb upload limit for free accounts this morning 🔥
Officially launching on my birthday Sept 14th! 🎉 I'd appreciate any support or feedback 🤙
