One is a Docker monitoring service, other is a REST API monitoring service. Anyone interested just by these titles?:)

REST API monitoring and testing (yeah I know cert is expired:)

http://apilope.com

Shameless plug but I created an app exactly for this purpose: https://www.apilope.com

You can schedule test flows and validate responses as well.

Edit: my cert is expired, I’ll fix this (now that I have a lot of time to spare:)

Decided to reverse my long-time TODO list and start from the bottom because I realised I'd never get there otherwise. It feels so good so I advise everyone to go and do the same.

For me it looks like this, I'm working on a bootstrapped simple SaaS tool for devops (docker container monitoring):

- Clojure so I'm learning FP and Lisp

- Clojurescript/Reagent so I'm learning SPA/react

- MongoDB so I'm learning NoSQL

- Vim so I'm learning editing like a boss

- SaaS so I'm learning marketing (SEO/Blogging to start with)

For this reason I created https://www.apilope.com - you can trigger hosted API tests from your CI workflow as well.

https://www.apilope.com/ - 0 revenue, 0 users, 0 traffic

I see that it's trending but without any comments - so allow me a shameless plug, I created a tool to monitor my APIs (can schedule calls, do response content checks, send alerts etc): http://www.apilope.com

If you drop me a line after you signed up I can flag you as a demo user that's free forever - or at least until you want to pay or cancel :)

I’m working on http://www.apilope.com - I think it’s cool for monitoring rest apis with test cases, which was kind of a scratch my own itch thingie.

I'd say for starters, Scrum because it gives you a framework. After you get used to the Agile methods, just tailor it or switch to Kanban.

I jumped on the Scrum bandwagon in 2008. It was refreshing after so many years of waterfall! I have introduced it in 3-5 companies during the years, but sometimes it just feels rather restricting (after you get used to it) in recent years we started leaning towards Kanban-style, but we are still using methods like planning poker, checking velocity, and doing standups. And of course if you're not remote, you still need a taskboard - shameless plug, we're selling reusable storycards for this!

Mine is a REST API monitoring service - because I needed one!

http://www.apilope.com

Going to rework the landing page a bit to make it more benefit/monitoring oriented, I don’t think ‘testing’ is compelling enough as a keyword.

Getting users on my just-launched REST API Monitoring SaaS:

http://www.apilope.com

Initially I thought it'd be easy to acquire users since I'm speaking to my own kind - but it's pretty hard to get into developers' head :) No instagram influencers can be used, that's for sure.

Anybody have any ideas?

It's really nice tool indeed, I much prefer this to Paw and Postman strictly due to UX. Less tabs, less popups etc, easier to navigate. I don't mind Electron either. I know it's shameless plug but I can't resist sharing my own tool that I created for monitoring REST apis, if anyone is interested: http://www.apilope.com

Also, if you want make test API calls as part of your CI process (or just want to monitor them regularly), I created my own tool: http://www.apilope.com. I always missed such features from REST API tools!

Wow, reading through all of that (and how you put it in perspective) felt like I'm waking up from Hibernation (pun intended). Solid advices, thanks a lot!

Why?

Why not review a few more?:)

I'm going to get Think Complexity from Allen B. Downey.

Thank you so much!

Ok, maybe I'm in a mid-life crysis and can't decide what to do. I go and try to re-align myself, and not to ask too often and too meaningless.

What do you mean by personal advice board?

Thanks I didn't know about Nightcode!

Good point!

Thanks for the repleis! I'm currently close to web development (as people nowadays) so that's why I'm thinking about learning clojure/script rather than Lisp - because I can use clojure in daily work but not Lisp.

I'm about to learn Lisp and/or Clojure(Script). How does this book differ from for e.g Land of Lisp? I was planning to get my fingers dirty with some more light material before digging in the recommendations (PAIP, PCL, SICP).

How would you deal with non-US residents?

Is it that much?:) Everybody is on Rails. :( Hello from a Django remote dev in EU.

$8.50/hr is a nice amount of money in Hungary for example. If you don't have a finance/compsci degree is way above the average. In compsci, its an average payment for a developer with 2-3 years of experience (no need to pay further tax anyways from this).

Architects, lead devs, PMs earns around 15/hour at best paying companies. If you're a contractor, it could top up around 20 after taxation.

A young person with an average degree (economics for eg.) in an average position is not earning more than 5/hour here...

Will they kill 13" Air? Its easily the most popular Apple computer right now.

Good idea! Thanks.

How does it compare to ClojureScript?
