Wasn’t the purpose of the way back machine to make sure this doesn’t happen?

Think I might try railway for my next project, might write. Guide for deploying to vercel and render.com

Time zones are actually a big problem in calendar apps, trying to manage three within 8 hours is mad for me but that’s cause Google calendar is confusing about it

You think everyone will hate them so much they move to a new platform or we gonna still keep giving these crazy people our attention?

Do you find railway the best place to reply? I’m currently using a mixture of render.com and @vercel.com

Well that was very opinionated

something like - “devex relates to the usability, performance and consistency the developer gets working with tools and building a solution. happy devs build better products, faster. Frictionless tools, clear docs, and smooth workflows mean less frustration, fewer bugs, and quicker releases.”

I’ll be honest this helped me as well, had some weirdly positive Reddit interactions (which is rare I know), guess being a junior dev you actually know more than you think.

Maybe this will explain why everyone is religiously telling me to get a multicooker

With practice, you’ll see projects as systems, not stress. If you’re struggling, keep your plan simple: break it down, build it up.

You don’t need to know everything at once. Build small projects, even if they seem boring. Master putting files in the right places and writing reusable functions. Confidence comes when you own your flow.

When in doubt, think:
• What belongs in src/controllers/? Logic that decides what happens next.
• What goes in models/? Your data structures and schemas.
• What goes in .env? Secrets and configs you don’t hard-code.

Keeping roles clear makes your app maintainable.

The goal of planning is to make the development stage less overwhelming. When you’ve mapped out where things go—routes, file structure, API connections—you’re not scrambling. Instead, you’re confidently building step-by-step.

If you feel overwhelmed when building something from scratch, you’re probably missing one key skill: software architecture. 🏗️ It’s not just coding—it’s knowing where things go, how they fit, and what trade-offs you’re making. Let me explain.
