Same setup as mine, I have an OpenVPN server running in my router, and my main PC has wake-on-lan and a KVM as a backup to turn it on and off.

I have an old used Dell Latitude that I use as a pseudo thin client. I ssh into my PC, and everything just works.

I really like this setup because I only have one environment, so everything is there, and I don't have to install anything in the laptop

Exactly, I found that most of the time, I spend significantly more time reviewing the code; most of the time, there is a lot of repeated code. Refactoring and cleaning the code also require a lot of time.

I found that the time I spend reviewing and refactoring is marginally less than the time it takes to write the code myself. For very repetitive tasks, there is a sweet spot.

The only case where vibe-coding really delivered on the promise of super high-speed development is when you completely gave up on the code quality or you are in a greenfield project where all the business logic hasn't been fully defined.

I don't want to look at my iPhone every time I need to unlock it, for example, when I am riding my motorbike, the helmet would block my face. This isn't a problem when I use Touch ID because I can use fingerless gloves. Another case is when I need to discreetly check my phone for a moment, like when I am in a meeting or a dinner.

I don't have anything against Face Id, BUT I just don't see why they eliminate the sensor and remove the option.

Me too, I still have my iPhone SE, I was hoping they would bring back some smaller version of the iPhone + Touch ID, I refuse to upgrade just because of the lack of Touch ID

I completely agree, I did a very small chat app just for fun, I thought, this is only going to take me a couple of days and before I realized it, that couple of days became weeks and it never felt finished, there was always something to add.

What do you mean? he just appointed a new capitan while he deployed his lifeboat

Similar story to mine, 7 YOE backend dev, working non-stop since I got into college, Hope that at least you got some rest.

What a coincidence, that was my setup as well but for my next(now current) pc, I changed it to a Radeon R7 250, (nvidia is fine but dealing with the drivers on linux was a pain in the neck)

only one small problem with that idea, the lack of a magnetic field, mars also has this problem but you atlest can bury your self in the ground to protect yourself agains the solar radiation

I listen to a lot of japanese music(Doujin albums, Anime OSTs and VM OSTs), I don't understand a thing of the lyrics but hey they sound good.

This one in particar is gold, The ost of air traffic controller simulator

Same boat as you, waiting for the second generation, I don't event want to jump to the apple ecosystem but the battery life + performance at that price range makes it a almost a non-brainer for me

The "near you" list sent me to amsterdam, I'm in bogota, like a continent away, Maybe you should check your geo-ip api/db

Bad idea in mi opinion, this is a solved problem, overhead wires, the amount of energy lost between the converting water into hydrogen and then back into water to get electricity can be as high as 70%, it's just a bad idea when you can use that energy directly using wire to get the same job done

THIS IS GOLD!, I love it, I event click the paypal link to see if you have some old school fake paypal payment gateway.

By the way the upload example form is broken, making it actually work would be awesome

I did something similar to the vaccine appointment bot but to get my passport appointment, I'm Venezuelan, and let me tell you getting a passport is almost impossible due to all the corruption and mismanagement, so years ago the webpage to schedule the passport appointment was down for 99.9% of the times, I am not joking the page was only functional for a 10~15 minutes per week at random intervals of the day, there were facebooks groups of people doing watch reloading the page every few minutes ALL DAY LONG to catch it when it was working and then inform the rest when it was up, It was insane I decided to do a simple(not really tho) bot that did the polling and fill my data to the form, I was very happy to result and event more because I didn't have to bribe anyone(This is the "normal" method to get the passport and the sky is the limit of how much are they going to charge you)

here is the code if someone is curious about it https://gitlab.com/wolfgang000/saime-bot/

Lack of social interaction, and this is coming from an introverted person, It's difficult to quantify how valuable a mundane water cooler chat with a coworker can be but when you remove them entirely you really start to see how important these things were to maintain your sanity, I know there are slack's channels to these types of things but it's just not the same

It didn't work, I tried a couple of times and even got a mach but nothing happened. maybe It has something to do with a js error in the console

hn:78 Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Failed to execute 'send' on 'WebSocket': Still in CONNECTING state. at RTCPeerConnection.peerConnection.onnegotiationneeded (https://coffeehouse.chat/hn:78:29)

Some small sugesstions When a file upload finish is not very clear that It finished, maybe you can change the color of the bar(or add an icon) to signal that it finished

also, I don't know if it was just me but the upload popup didn't work only the drag and drop one.

apart from that very cool project I also am an elixir developer but haven't had the chance to test liveview but it looks very good

> A somewhat popular opinion is that the country is very corrupt but you can live with it if you earn in dollars.

That was the exact same mentality that a lot of people in venezuela(me included) used to have at the beginning of the crisis "The inflation doesn't affect me, I earn in dollars" was a very common attitude for people with remote jobs, but then even the price in dollars started to increase due to the corruption on every level of the supply chain, companies leaving or closing, terrible mismanagement of public services like electricity, water and transportation, and many other terrible decisions. We were too naive...

I'm Venezuelan and today argentina's inflations look like the venezuela's one in 2014~2016 and as you may already know that only got worse and worse, hopefully, that is not going to happen this time but looking at this trend I believe the best course of action would be to be prepared to leave the country before all collapse

What a coincidence! I am also building a web book reader( only pdfs for the moment) with the difference that all my books are already stored in google drive so I wanted a way to access all of them easily without downloading them one by one on all my devices and sync the last page I was reading.

If you want to take a look, the MVP is already functional(at leat the dropbox integration until google approves the google drive one) but I haven't made the landing page

https://app.parcebooks.net/

at least for me, the trick is to listen to music in a different language than you don't speak(in my case Japanese), since you won't understand a word you won't lose focus with the lyrics

I'm a cloud book reader/organizer, basically a clone of google play books but instead of uploading the books to the page the books are fetch from your own google drive account.

I haven't chosen a name or domain

Not ready yet but very close to completion, maybe in next weeks I will be releasing it.

I wholeheartedly disagree with TDD part, I get it unit tests are more fragile in fact, I prefer integrations and module tests over unit test but doing the test upfront it a worthy investment, because speed up the development (because you only have run the test to validate the new feature) and also more often than not after the feature is done without the tests then the tests are never made

I suppose that through their Business API, but given the amount facebook paid for them and the scale at which they operate, I don't think that would be enough to cover their costs.

I don't believe having a massive repo with backups would be the ideal solution. Couldn't you just upload the backup to an s3 bucket instead?

My current and former manager are exactly like this, except that both of them do know SQL, really great guys that try their best to help guide the project.

As a little anecdote, my first boss was a technical manager with many years of experience in programming but unfortunately not very good managerial skills. The biggest problem was that he had a clear image of the big picture but when we try to explain to him that "No, we can't do X because Y" then he said, "what are you talking about? Of course, we can It's a simple queue/query/function call", and he would not listen until we show and explain him the code or he tried to do it himself.

It's definitely better to have an empathic and cooperative manager even if he or she lags the technical knowledge

Nice initiative but I'm gonna stick with Dokku for now, after jumping between google app engine, heroku, plain old tar over scp and other custom solutions I find dokku the perfect option for small and side projects.

dokku manage to hit that sweet spot of making everything easy and convenient but still let you do fine tweaks if you need it

What problem did you have with linode? I had been using them for a couple of months and the experience so far has been great

I believe TDD is still a valid tool to develop well-tested software, of course, don't take it to the extreme, where you mock everything to in the end test nothing or create tests that have very little value, I find TDD a lot more when is applied as guidelines instead of rules.
