if you are used to appending "reddit" to your google search, there's a better way.
Just add "&udm=18" to the URL.
This will trigger the Google "Forum" search, which finds many lesser known goldmines of real people talking about stuff.

Regret to inform you that your CPU has a bad case of FJCVTZS. Instructional, really.
((That's "Floating-point Javascript Convert to Signed fixed-point, rounding toward Zero" for people with lives to attend to. It's an instruction that exists solely to make JS go faster))

After working with a microservices setup first-hand, I resonate with large parts of this, but all the JS-bashing is uncalled for.
As a matter of fact, I have seen the same complexity manufactured using other languages. That's what it is. Manufactured complexity.

Hello everyone! I'm Palash, and I've worked in tech for the last 8 years! I'm also an amateur piano player (no music theory tho 😅)
I love the beach, the sun, and absorbing information

when Twitter went to crap (RIP), I was literally sad that I wouldn’t be able to build tools for it. Bluesky is full of possibilities 🤩
