I’ve been coding for 20 years now, sharing insights I’ve learned about software engineering, product design, side projects, productivity.

DX is great! Writing the jobs feels very natural, much much simpler than Temporal. The development server is neat and makes debugging jobs very easy. TypeScript SDK is idiomatic, the types are properly inferred & propagated throughout the whole app.

The nice thing about writing step functions for Inngest vs regular "async worker queues" is that we can express logic, e.g. "if X than wait for event Y", with a layer of caching/retries on top.

Replay also makes it easier to jump into a new codebase, I can see how things work.

I do think, however, that software for TODO lists sucks, and should support humans better https://blog.frantic.im/all/todo-apps-are-meant-for-robots/
