AI allows me to live my life more freely and focus on things that actually matter like family

Not all backends are web applications. I have built many step functions applications for various ETL type workloads with massive success with little to no complexity. Just because someone doesn't understand the technology doesn't make it "complex"

Hi,HN link posts are confusing I know but read my initial discussion post. One of the first items there is the demo credentials

I am available for part-time work at $60/hr

That’s great to hear! Did you find it hard to learn?

I love types I just struggle with Typescript a lot because it seems to get in the way for me. I might like it more if I buckled down and really tried to figure it out. It’s probably the slowest language for me to grasp maybe outside of Objective C. When you try to enforce typing on a language that wasn’t designed ground up with types in mind it just rubs me the wrong way. Python type hinting strikes a good balance though.

Is anyone just using vanilla React with no TypeScript or Framework of any kind? I’ve tried Remix and Next js and just find them so cumbersome. Typescript causes me more headaches

Code is right there -- just look at it.

I couldn't imagine this being healthy for your eye sight.

I tried this as well for about 8 months and ended up going back to an external monitor setup. Why? Health reasons. The ergonomics of using a laptop everyday is detrimental to your posture. Being hunched over and looking down at a laptop all day is not healthy. You can still have bad posture with an external monitor but now these risks are avoidable if you are disciplined enough. With a laptop you really have no choice but to have poor posture.

Could we have replaced the EdgeCommander with infrastructure tools like Puppet or Ansible?

this is super cool good work!

My old company used to add more to scope and increase working hours/cancel holidays. in fact they always planned a release on thanksgiving because you know thats a good idea.

Making friends as an adult is a deliberate process. You have to intentionally pursue it. Don't look for only tech people, it is important to have a diverse network of friends where each provides their own unique value to the friendship. For example -- I joined CrossFit for the sole purpose of making more friends, getting in shape was just a plus. There I can meet people of all walks of life that I typically wouldn't otherwise.

Yup came here to say this exact thing.

Absolutely -- fair enough

Ah ok, thank you for the response and congratulations on your sucess!

Hotwire I believe wasn't introduced yet but was close to release when I left the Rails dev community.

It sounds like you have been using Blazor a lot more than I have so I’ll take your word for it. I haven’t any massive traffic yet. Is this something I can reproduce with a benchmarking tool?

I really enjoyed reading this and I hate reading.

How did you go from 12 months of no revenue to actually generating revenue? Did you provide your service for free w/o any payment options? I imagine job seekers were free to use the board but companies were required to pay to post on your board. Did it basically take 12 months to gain enough traction with job seekers to entice employers to post on your board instead of manually adding them for free yourself?

Thank you -- I have heard of fsharp but wasn't really familiar with the answer to the question of why use it?

I haven't worked with Rails since Rails 5 so I dont know if I could do a fair comparison of how they are as it stands today. Check one of the comment replies above where I outlined some of my thoughts in a similar question.

For the most part, I think there is a lot of feature parity between the .NET and Ruby on Rails frameworks when it comes to developer tooling.

As I grow older I guess I am growing more fond of statically typed languages. It's easier for my decaying/distracted brain to reason about. There is less mental overhead I suppose [might be a good blog post?]

They both have a good database migration system and various generators for scaffolding views, controllers, etc. To be fair I believe Entity Framework does most of the work for the .NET side on the database developer tooling but I just consider it part of the .NET ecosystem since it seems to be the go-to ORM/database tooling library. I want to be fair to Rails -- I really think they set the bar very high for other frameworks. Productivity w/ Rails was unprecedented when it first came out. I started during the Rails 3 to 4 upgrade.

Both ecosystems have easy access to outside libraries using Nuget/Gemfile. So pulling in a background processor like Sidekiq [Ruby] or Hangfire [C#] is fairly easy.

Cross platform support is acceptable across both frameworks as well. I can setup an EC2 instance and run both Rails and .NET applications side-by-side. So deployments are going to be similar but I would argue that .NET has the upper-hand because it can deploy do a self-contained deploy so you don't have to worry about installing dotnet in the deployment environment.

I am using Blazor Server and I am not going to say something drastic like it will kill React but it is pretty awesome. I can build my entire web experience with C# but with Rails I have to introduce React when I sometimes dont want to. Blazor prevents me from having to write HTTP code from my front to backend systems and as an indie developer that is a godsend.

Both have gorgeous documentation -- I thought Rails was good and thorough but .NET ate their lunch.

I just jumped on the .NET Core gravy train after 6+ years of Ruby on Rails development. I feel so productive and confident working with .NET. Ill be riding this rollercoaster with you for a while!

Warner Robins, GA -- sorry its 80k now apparently

Honestly -- I think you will be disappointed. The market wrecked everyone who was trying to buy. I live in a town of 70k and I got priced out of my own neighborhood -- and I make good money. Just because it is a small town, doesn't mean you are going to get bottom of the barrel prices. For example, a 3000sqft home in my area goes for $515k and you have to bring extra money to closing to be even competitive. The areas with smaller homes are _less_ than desirable to be in so don't think you will be getting a good deal there because you are just as likely to get robbed in your front yard.

I haven't really fully thought it out. But you could maybe use the microphone to detect crying (if the baby is conscious). There is an internal camera that might help as well to detect movement but may be a bit more difficult with rear facing car seats. I wonder if the weight sensor that triggers the seat belt warnings is sensitive enough to detect a baseline weight of the car seat and the weight of a child.

Not that I am aware of but I also don't keep up with Twitter much. Maybe I should.

I wish Tesla would have focused more on using the CV technology to strengthen its collision avoidance and safety systems which is lacking. There was a lot of emphasis on marketing the FSD but I think FSD would have been a byproduct of a robust and reliable collision avoidance system. I don't care about FSD -- I care about getting my family to where we are going safely! Tesla should warn me if I am about to run a stop light or stop sign. It would also be nice to have an infant protection system that detects children locked in vehicles and takes action to protect them from overheating -- which seems plausible based on the hardware inside my 2021 Model Y.

I have used AWS Cognito and Azure AD B2C
