Maybe it's because I only code for my own tools, but I still don't understand the benefit of relying on someone/something else to write your code and then reading it, understand it, fixing it, etc. Although asking an LLM to extract and find the thing I'm looking for in an API Doc is super useful and time saving. To me, it's not even about how good these LLMs get in the future. I just don't like reading other people's code lol.

As a senior developer you already spend a significant amount of time planning new feature implementations and reviewing other people's code (PRs). I find that this skill transitions quite nicely to working with coding agents.

> sqlite3

I know sqlite3 is great, but I've always found it much more annoying to use it on a server for small side projects than just using Postgres where I could just connect to the prod instance from my local machine and run some queries to look at the data. With sqlite I'd always have to sync files, set up volumes, make sure permissions are correct vs. just setting an environment variable to a PG instance.

From what I understand, the sqlite3 comment was made it context of the Solid libraries. Basically common Redis-backed functionality can now be sqlite3-backed instead.

I do share your preference on using Postgres as the main database. Having that as the main db with sqlite3 used for auxiliary functionality sounds great.

I suggest you back up the HTML files as a record of her work when she was still a child, it will be a family treasure in the future :) You can even add it under your family's domain for safekeeping.

How does it compare to Github Copilot?

I don't think 37signals is a very strong example that this could become a trend. They are in the goldilocks zone where they're big and stable enough to save a lot of money with self-hosting, but not big enough that they can negotiate meaningful discounts with Amazon.

In reality cloud is too convenient, and the tradeoffs for self-hosting just don't make sense for the majority of companies. The talent to run your own servers with modern HA and reliability expectations has largely been consolidated into the giant cloud providers and other large companies at this point. As much as I think a lot of cloud is wasteful and more diversity would be beneficial, I don't see any meaningful change to cloud dominance on the horizon.

DHH did mention in the article that if you are just starting up and finding market fit, you should use the cloud and not buy your own hardware.

marvstazar commented on How to test without mocking amazingcto.com/mocking-is... · Posted by u/alexzeitler

marvstazar · 2 years ago

If you inherited a project with no tests at all, mocking is a lifesaver. It allows you to only worry about specific aspects of the application so you can start writing and running tests. I agree though that if not done properly, it can be overused and can make your tests practically worthless.
