- I'm currently developing software outside the software industry. No Scrum. No JIRA. No meetings. No sprints. No microservices. No Clean Architecture. No DDD, TDD or other acronyms. I just build the software. I don't wanna jinx it, but this is therapy for me.
- Does your app really need username and password sign-in in 2024? Why not just use social sign-ins like Google, Apple and Microsoft?
- In all seriousness, are there any jobs left where you just build the software in peace?
- Why don't you use curl for testing APIs instead of Postman? You can put your scripts right in your repo, share them and compose larger test scripts instead of navigating a labyrinth of collections in an external system This is what curl was built for
- Smart people often write the worst code because they're more comfortable with complexity and have larger working memory. I've encountered this so many times in my career Don't write ✍️ code for the smart people. Assume the person looking at it cannot fit complexity in their head
- Sorry for sounding elitist, but all the best software engineers I come across end up gravitating towards FP. It often takes them years as a gradual process, but FP solves many problems that OOP struggles with. I wish FP people would stop with the math and category theory though.
- Developing on Windows is a massive productivity killer
- This is weird but I'm starting to like making web stuff with just HTML/CSS and vanilla JavaScript No packages No webpack No typescript
- What happened to internet forums and why doesn't someone bring them back?
- #Microservices are a mistake for most teams
- Can we finally admit that the #microservices craze was harmful to the software industry? Sure, they are good in theory, but most teams end up with unmaintainable, slow, unreliable, hard-to-change monstrosities We now use "modular monolith" as consolation, but I still say back-end
- Why are we in a situation where one company can bring half the world's tech to its knees?
- Node is just 🤬 I understand why you need to transpile to JavaScript in the browser, but why would anyone inflict this hell upon themselves for the backend or a mobile app?
