If you tell me the solution is simple then I am immediately skeptical.

Contract testing. Seems there are several different flavours e.g. consumer vs producer driven.
How are folks here doing it? Or perhaps why have you chosen to forego contract testing?

It feels like AI written code rarely work for me because there is so much context required from many different files. Am I just doing it wrong?

Backend development goes far beyond just building APIs and writing SQL queries.
It also involves:
– Caching strategies.
– Cloud technologies.
– Data modeling & architecture.
– Autoscaling & infrastructure management.
– Handling concurrency & ensuring idempotency.
– and more..

Performance is in the details.
- Nested component
- Http request on mount
- Mounted on page load
- Hidden until user interaction (i.e. collapse or tabs)
- Small % of sessions will interact
You just increased server traffic and latency on every page load regardless of actual feature usage.

I understand the value that Javascript web frameworks like React have provided–but those values have come at high costs. I think it's high time we take a minute to consider if we're netting positive.

Why is migrating from monolith to microservice architecture so incredibly difficult to get right?
How do you avoid replacing old complexities with new, distributed headaches?

Toddler has been sick the last few days. Poor guy.
On an unrelated note, did you know that in Pixar’s Cars at 1:04:00 when a frustrated Lightning McQueen kicks a can into Doc Hudson’s garage McQueen actually punctured a tire but he still held it together to finish the scene because he’s such a pro?

Every year I think about buying
1. A mechanical keyboard
2. A 3D printer
and I have to remember that I don’t need or even really want either of those things

Learning about web components. Interoperability by building on native browser features sounds really awesome.
What is your experience with web components? Do you use them in your projects?

Cursor is a perfect example on how to integrate LLMs effectively. Three distinct entry points with different use cases, instead of a global chatbot that tries to do everything at once.

I've wasted too much time trying to do things in No SQL document databases like Mongo.
Would have been far better to default to PostgresSQL / SQLite. If one thing you build turns out to be better suited to something else you can change it later. More difficult to go the other way.
Just use SQL.

Technical design and peer review is super important and brings numerous benefits for a software engineering organization. I am a huge advocate.
But gosh darn if I don’t just want to get to the fun part and write some code! 😅

I love home assistant.
- Set up on a rpi4 a few years ago
- Homebridge to access from Apple Home
- Occasionally adjust config for new devices and automations
- UX continuously improving
- Insane how many different devices you can connect
Barely had to think about it at all, which is ideal. 👌

Typescript is the best thing that has happened to frontend development in recent years. All of the frontend developers should start using it now, if you aren't already using it.
