wow this is hitting hacker news front page ? if we can change the hosts file - I want to propose you can have any domain name for local services.

I don't know why but I do feel there is a gap here to empower backend developers to take over the full stack. ( I am one of the developers looking out for a good maintained, component rich, completely supported JVM java based FE framework )

One of my reasons not to pick Vaadin was that it was backed by a company rather than a open source community. ( this seems better now in terms of support )

I do see other JVM languages like Kotlin seeing some success here.

Did you guys see dart and flutter ? I am pretty sure Java can do a comeback in terms of compiling to JS and taking the power from react/typescript guys !

I am pretty sure Leetcode would not produce engineers like Fabrice bellard - https://bellard.org

Pros - I believe memorizing does help - If you do understand how things work - memorizing does make you fast - Leetcode did help me understand and appreciate pithy code - when I browse other's solutions - Leetcode did help me get inspired to learn new coding techniques - Leetcode did make me a better engineer who is quick to implement solutions which are already implemented - Leetcode did help me to learn libraries, functions, apis which i previously did not learn - Leetcode does bring needed positive peer pressure - sometimes helpful to get up and running and keep running

Cons - I believe it makes you run the rat race, you end up in another mill - running for someone else. - It doesn't foster creativity for the joy of programming - but rather it is motivated to clear interviews ( I wouldn't judge my skills based on leetcode alone | the gym is useful but it doesn't define me ) - I always adore super programmers like Fabrice Bellard - In programming, If I would want my skills to parallel someone, if not go beyond - it would be him. I am sure Leetcode wouldn't produce people like him. ( where would you have the time to dream and create if you use all the free time you have to leetcode ? )

Yeah as a developer/programmer - I always have this feeling that I should go into all native code like using c++, d, f, rust, crystal, nim, v, zig ( this is my choice as of now ) - just to get that last drop of hardware juice. I was also looking into luajit as it can have easy ffi and near native performance.

I still think Java has a lot of value to bring or to learn and use for any programmer.

The ecosystem of libraries, software, tooling, cross platform nature and with the advent of GraalVM - Java is still very alive and capable !

As for JVM guys - Kotlin seems be an easy migration.

BTW - what do you think about dart ?

yes i agree - its comparatively easy to create software that is optimal as long as it runs in a single machine.

The distributed systems and related constraints and guarantees is what takes the resources !

( I would assume he would use a system based on raft to offer the above, or using something like Infinispan, helix or hazelcast kinda )

So I was commenting on the particular technique,

To Collect feedback metrics to judge usage and throw resources to optimize rather than blind optimizing every single video. These techniques are very simple but makes sense to use when you have such a high demand. But I would expect more from facebook.

is it possible for us to talk ? @bitgur ? I have done very similar things and i am not sure if its really worth the effort. make sure u use nextjs ( static rendering ) and cloud-flare to at-least make things, fast and useable.
