Show HN: Standardized Interface for SQL Database Drivers in JavaScript

https://github.com/halvardssm/deno_stdext/pull/6

Hey there, JavaScript enthusiasts and database users!Over the past months, there has been work towards a standardized interface for SQL database drivers in JavaScript, and now we need your input!If you’ve spent any time working with SQL databases in JavaScript, you’ve probably noticed how each database driver has its own way of doing things. Whether you’re connecting to MySQL, PostgreSQL,...

So my best experience over the past year in the front end world (React only), has been with Vite using the react-typescript template. You get to use es modules (modern js) without any trouble and typescript just works.

Hi! I am seeking an opportunity where I can challenge myself and grow as a developer. My background is in Full-stack development with DevOps, and over the past year I have enjoyed my position as a lead developer where I got to dabble into Systems Architecture, something I really enjoyed.

If you are seeking a pure manager for your next project, I am not your candidate. However, if you are looking for someone who works well in a team and is easy to integrate and onboard, I might be your candidate. I enjoy working with the team to discuss and find the best solution to a problem, and I have no problem taking initiative or working independently. If you need a proof of concept to test out new technologies for your business, I am also not afraid of working outside my standard scope, and can easily pick up and evaluate foreign stacks due to my experience in multiple languages.

If my profile interests you, feel free to reach out for a chat and a virtual coffee.

If you are looking for a developer who can work across the stack, and work together with your team to explore new opportunities, send me a message or schedule a meeting via my website!

Why me?

- You are looking for someone to create a new product or refactor an old codebase.

- You need someone with experience in developing internal architectures.

- You want someone who is not afraid to learn new skills, and who learns them fast.

- You need a person who knows how to prioritise and balance speed against quality when it matters*

Why not me?

- You are only focused on pushing new features without considering the maintainability of the codebase.

- You are not located in the EU OR are not able to provide a work visa for the UK.

- You are looking for someone to maintain an old codebase.

- You do not allow/provide your employees to develop new skills as a part of the job.

- You do not have a team of employees who love to spar ideas with each other to find new solutions.

As a devops engineer who also writes a lot of code, I started using Deno (https://deno.land) since I can write my code in JavaScript and TypeScript. I can also natively use wasm, and have an internal repo for hosting commonly used functions since Deno loads files using url imports.

Can recommend!

Thanks! I'll see if I can find it second hand somewhere. Looks like a great addition to my hammer collection.

Ask HN: What is the best way to learn networking?

I have been using several of the WebAPI's like WebSockets and WebRTC for a while, but I never fully understood what is happening behind the scenes. Today I read a HN post about WebTransport, and frankly I have to say that most of the terminology flew past my head. Where would be a good place to start learning networking in depth (from the physical layer and upwards)?

Hi! I am a Full-Stack developer with the majority of my experience in web development. I am looking for opportunities to learn new skills, and where I will be entrusted with ownership over my projects. One thing I enjoy, is creating new applications (or refactoring old ones) where I can be a part of deciding and researching the best architecture for the task. Previously I have worked well with a remote team, but I have also worked on multiple projects by myself.

If you want someone who loves to learn and experimenting with different technologies to find the best suitable solution to a problem, and who is not afraid of making decisions either with a team or independently, feel free to reach out.

Ask HN: What antivirus software do you use?

Recently I got my hands on a new laptop and during the initiation process, I got to the part of which antivirus software to use. Which one do you use and why? Have you considered or tried any open source ones as ClamAV or Open AntiVirus Project?

> Yeah, I tag every email address I give to a vendor, and I have for years. It has helped me discover a number of breaches.

Can you go into detail on this? What exactly do you mean by tagging? Just wondering in case I want to do the same.

Thank you for your answer! Figuring what to do is not always easy, but I will most certainly follow your tip about "How do I do X".

But regarding logging, is this a file called log, or are there programs where you write the log?

I was not aware of logging of this type, I am mainly familiar with Source Control. Could you explain to me the purpose of the Log file compared to Source Control? Do you usually use both?

Ask HN: What are the “best” logging practices to learn for a Junior Developer?

A short while ago I read in the comment section of an article here on HN regarding things to ask before joining a startup as a developer. The article itself was fairly interesting, but the comment section was booming about logging practices. So my questions are, from a Junior Developers stand, what is considered good logging? How often should I commit? What do I commit in regards to big...
