Really sad. Rest In Peace Aaron.

We built a really cool enterprise social network with this at Autodesk 10+ years ago.

That’s exciting, I was just looking at the status of this yesterday.

Their home page is really a work of art, just beautiful.

yup, and if you want to really optimize it you could use functions as a service like lambda as your react rendering layer, which forwards to heroku or fargate or beanstalk or vanilla ec2 or whatever for your backend.

and if cloudflare workers ever support metered usage you could use that too for the react layer.

and if you want hyper performance you could use lambda@edge and intelligently route to your backend running on fly.io to minimize the distance. the somewhat unsolved problem there though is multi region master master replicated databases which are cost effective.

to my knowledge this is the current state of the art for that https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide...

problem is you have to pay for each region so it's not really cost effective.

hey if stimulus and turbolinks are your jam then rock it!

I would at least give this a look though, it's super easy to use: https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails

Ya it really depends. I like redis and Postgres generally speaking for data, and Ruby on Rails generally for business logic. And you can certainly do universal rendering with that easily with react_on_rails. If you do end up needing more perf, maybe go would be interesting.

Wow that’s fascinating and insightful! Stripe sounds like such an awesome company. Congratulations on getting an offer from them, psyched for you!!!

Rails is dope. And it works really well with universal react rendering if you need that with react_on_rails.

Ya depends on what you’re doing. Webpack is worth mastering though in general.

True, that’s not its use case.

React supports server side rendering.

React is great though, why not just use that?

Is this faang / levels.fyi pay range?

> So let's not lose our excitement and sense of wonder

Exactly. It’s wild the potential that many of us hold.

Sounds reasonable. Thing is, these companies pay, and this is what they do. So if you want to play there, you have to play the game their way.

Talk to people you know. Should help find a job without the inane interviews. Blessings to you friend.

If people would pay for content we might have less ads...

YouTube premium is awesome.

Lol that’s awesome. Law is complicated.

Totally. A robust domain model is one of the main things that matters in terms of software architecture in my experience.

> There is not sufficient communication between the various layers of software.

Because there is not enough communication between the engineers writing a this code lol. Ie: Conways law ;-)

The economy has been based on credit for a loooong time. I learned about how it works from Ray Dalio’s excellent video on how the economic machine works https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PHe0bXAIuk0
