Slowly building out a starter pack with all of the software bloggers 🙂

My top 5 reasons for avoiding software engineering as a career: 1. Schooling 2. Job market 3. Burn out 4. Money 5. Lack of passion #softwaredevelopment #swecareeradvice #softwarejobs

Hot takes: - We are in the "CLI era" of AI. - AI shines best when it doesn’t announce itself to the end user.

Adding a queue to a web app is such a chore. Is there something simple like this? 1. You POST a task with a webhook + priority 2. When it’s your turn, we POST to your webhook 3. You run the task, then call back when done

Are LLMs deterministic? 🙃

How do you know when to use a framework or a library? If you don't know the answer, try building it yourself first. By the end of that exercise, you will either: 1. Know exactly why it exists and which pain point it solves. Or 2. Know why it is not a good idea to use it in your project.

Interesting take on writing code with AI. Now apply that take to #vibecoding 😬

Platforms are competitions, and the web is losing. We can do simple, straightforward things to combat that decline...but contemporary frontend isn't doing those things. Why not? A consolidated thread from last week: infrequently.org/2024/10/platform…

I got tired of opening tabs of all the #Django admin themes to see what they looked like so I threw together this readme with all of the recently maintained themes I could find AND screenshots. PRs welcome for anything I missed or updates. https://github.com/adamghill/awesome-django-admin-themes
