ciaran-ifelse··on Ask HN: Does anyone use keyboard/mouse extra buttons for coding?
Screen left/right with apple magic mouse is what I use the most.

As a developer, I have 2 screens and multiple desktops per screen.

Screen 1: Chrome on desktop 1, VS Code desktop 2.

Screen 2: Database on desktop 3, Postman desktop 4, Slack/Email Desktop 5.

ciaran-ifelse··on Ask HN: How to find the energy for side projects after day job?
The projects needs to excite you in some way. After work, you should look forward to building your own thing. If you are not, then why do the project?

One day an idea will give you the energy to work on it, you just haven't found it yet.

ciaran-ifelse··on Ask HN: Anyone know any funny programming jokes?
I decided to solve a problem with regular expressions and now I have two problems.
ciaran-ifelse··on Ask HN: Why use Serverless to build webapps
It would cost less starting out compared to your own server, you may only have to pay per function call. Whereas you would have to pay for server space from the start even if no one is using your product.

A framework may be overkill if all you want to do is run a function when something in your database changes. Firebase is a good example of this, you can trigger functions when a document changes.

Easy to deploy, reliable and maintainable.
