reactoron Tailwind CSS v3.0

How would you have done it without TailWind? You'd still have to create classes for each of them in plain css anyway, except it would probably be in a different .css file. The inherent complexity pertaining to your app is not taken away, it just moved the places.

reactoron Angular 13

Svelte/Sveltekit. It's really difficult to go back to React/Vue/Angular once you get a hang of Svelte.

reactoron Ask HN: How does one start a web app nowadays? (2021)

Its almost always what you know already.

Regarding React, you should give Svelte a try. As someone who did some projects in React, I regret not finding it (svelte) earlier, its a joy to work with it compared to React.

Back-end, just pick any popular framework from your language of you choice, things you'd want are mostly covered in most of them, without much differences.

reactoron OVH is down along with its status page

https://www.ssdnodes.com/

Quite attractive pricing and been an user for about 2+ yrs, never faced any issue so far, probably luck me?

reactoron Ask HN: What's your Go-to web stack for Java?

It would be https://quarkus.io for me

1. The low memory footprint.

2. Hot reloading (in dev mode) is awesome.

3. Plenty of modules. (https://code.quarkus.io)

4. Compile-time wiring, (unlike Spring's runtime wiring).

5. Fast startup (Kubectl deploy restart comes out in less than a sec).

6. Qute template engine is really nice, (Yes we use template engines to render UI).

7. 'Sponsored by Redhat' is icing on the cake. (Make it easy to convince senior mgmnt)

8. Dev-ui,

9. Shallow stack traces (Compared to Spring's)

10. Sane standard api's

etc. all deserve a praise and makes development a walk in the park. Our devs couldn't be happier with choosing Quarkus as go-to framework for all our new projects.

reactoron The Modern Java Platform – 2021 Edition

May be you should try Quarkus, its hot reloading is slick. Even with a large code base, I could just do change->save->refresh cycle (about a second).

reactoron The Modern Java Platform – 2021 Edition

This 'magic' is one of the reason why we switched to https://quarkus.io/

Couldn't be more happier.

reactoron Signal is having technical difficulties

Its just for books. Loan is still an asset, but donation is not. He will have this asset for abt 50 yrs in the book, that's useful if he want raise money for something else. Pretty sure he don't intend to get it back.

reactoron Things I Didn't Learn in 2020

reactoron Can developer productivity be measured?

Many enterprise projects usually runs multi-year, its nearly impossible to make a code base that can be re-written in a month.

reactoron Can developer productivity be measured?

Couldn't agree more. I've noticed this many times in my 16+ yrs into the industry. Not recognizing this is one of the primary reason line managers letting an employee (esp those who are involved from the beginning) go, if they are asking for a raise, thinking they are easily replaceable. It really costs the company.

reactoron The Base58 Encoding Scheme

Understand they removed '0' & 'O' but why did they retain 'o' as it could be confusing with '0', 'O'?
