Great feedback.

Will do.

It's just a digital notecard based on this story: https://pmarchive.com/guide_to_personal_productivity.html

I was bored so I vibe coded this small app for something I do every day.

Marc Andreessen once wrote about the best productivity hack, a 4x6 index card.

I read that about five years ago and to this day it’s still my favorite productivity hack.

Top three goals on one side and the anti-todo on the back, a list of everything you actually did.

Curious on feedback for it.

Oooo I like this and very much agree

Before college, I worked in restaurants and learned so much.

The part about the ethos of doing things outside your job description is so well said.

To celebrate Christmas we introduce will it comp-ho-ho-hose, a GraphQL Federation composition game.

Starting on the 12th of December, every day untill Christmas a new challenge will be unlocked. The goal of each challenge is to guess if the two subgraphs will compose.

If you think you know Federation, or want to learn more about it's quirks, this is the game for you!

For those that want to read up on the BFF pattern: https://bff-patterns.com/

For those who are new to BFF's or backend for frontends, This website offers a detailed explanation on the common pattern.

I agree with your take.

Apollo GraphQL is not MIT. Their Gateway, federation libraries, and all versions of router are under a Elastic License v2.

ABOUT OUR TEAM AND CULTURE: As one of our early employees, you will become a product owner of our latest offering WunderGraph Cloud (Vercel for Backend). Culture comes first at WunderGraph, so there is no Hustle culture here. You will be judged on impact, not lines of code. We offer a competitive salary, unlimited PTO, free choice of equipment, hackathons, and more!

A common problem that you're faced with when building web applications is that each application requires a unique composition of internal and external APIs, databases, file storages and authentication providers. Once you've created such a composition, it needs to be enriched with business logic and data transformations using Middleware functions.

Companies keep inventing their own solutions to this problem, the most famous one is based on the BFF pattern (Backend for Frontend), where you create a specific backend for each individual frontend. But even with the BFF pattern, the flow is still not standardized, so companies are re-inventing the wheel over and over again.

WunderGraph set sail to solve this problem. We're building on open standards, like GraphQL, REST, OpenAPI OpenID Connect, OAuth2, AsyncAPI and more to create a standardized approach to creating API Compositions and Integrations.

We're taking this one step further by building the "Vercel for Backend". WunderGraph Cloud aims to simplify cloud native software development. We want to abstract Infrastructure away completely.

Recent blog posts may give you a sense of what we're doing and our principles: https://wundergraph.com/blog

Man I love to see posts like this. I didn't know you nerds like Fountain pens as well.

just bought a Visconti pen for the first time and Love it.

Pricy, but has a great history.

Mine is the emerald one.

Full Disclosure, I'm one of the founders of WunderGraph, but I thought I provide my 2 cents.

The backend engineer in me is a little wary of using these and it seems like it will be hard to get off these platforms later

We're open source with a Apache-2.0 license and will never switch it.

You can also self host it yourself on your architecture or you can host it on ours.

What I like about WunderGraph personally is that it allows you to create your own firebase like toolkit with the tools you want, without getting locked into 1 vendor.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Thank you!

WunderGraph | Senior DevOps Engineer | Full-time | Remote in EMEA | https://wundergraph.com/jobs/senior-devops-engineer We are building WunderGraph cloud, the infraless API developer platform. Without a single thought about infrastructure, developers can integrate any back-end in seconds and deploy to production in minutes. The underlying technology makes deployments insanely fast, but at least in this case, we do need to create and maintain a robust infrastructure, so our users don’t have to. :)

As a DevOps Engineer at WunderGraph, you will be in charge of

- Helping the team to implement, deploy and maintain the necessary infrastructure

- Operating and orchestrating our cloud infrastructure

- Defining adequate monitoring of our cloud services and virtual machines

- Implementing and deploying measures to make our cloud even more robust, secure and scalable across the globe / on the edge

- Automating as much as possible

- Efficient use of our cloud resources (traffic, load, provisioning)

- Documenting and planning new solutions

Seems like many people are trying to shoehorn their codebase...

Full Disclosure: I work at WunderGraph

But I think you should take a look at WunderGraph. It's vendor agnostic and allows you to choose a authentication provider that will work with your codebase.

You can use Keycloak, Auth0, Ory, etc...

Gonna put this article I read earlier this week in here to answer your question: https://wundergraph.com/blog/trpc_vs_graphql

I can vouch for this one! I've started listening to this one recently and been enjoying it so far. Wide range of topics within Web development and the hosts are very charismatic and welcoming.

So many good recommendations! Thank you everyone for the suggestions!

Nothing wrong with being a bit shameless to promote it!

The episodes look pretty cool, gonna them a listen!

Are you also open to any guest speakers?

One of my favorite podcasts. The two part xbox episode is my favorite.

Gonna give this one a listen. Thanks for the recommendation.
