kubernetes is overkill for most of the use cases... the only good thing k8s did is to create a lot of complexities and tons of 'devops' jobs.

Mumbai is so enormous economically that its GDP of $260B is higher than all of West Bengal

Mumbai would be the 6th largest state economy all by itself

Cities are the real big drivers of economies, megacities are states in themselves

The greatest lie told to the public is that people make apps to sell data. Data has no value—you can buy a complete data set on the entire US population for under $10,000.

In reality, we actually do it to sell engagement. Attention is more valuable than a spreadsheet. And you only capture people’s attention by creating valuable & novel experiences.

This misconception has made people fear trying new products, which has hampered innovation in how we communicate and entrenched the positions of incumbent companies.

And it has also narrowed the audiences who developers can build for. So when you ask why there are so many silly teen apps, it’s because it’s one of the few audiences that haven’t been deluded by the narrative yet.

ok time’s up

here’s the deal with server actions

if you’re excited about them you’re wrong
if you’re mad about them you’re wrong

let’s do this

unfortunately @t3dotgg was right - the key thing the haters are misunderstanding is that NextJS is a backend framework

in your head think about it like express or any other http server - you wouldn’t be surprised if you could return html and do a database call right next to it

except it’s a better express because it lets you build all kinds of complex interactive clients via React

fundamentally there’s nothing wrong with this - you’ve been doing it forever in every other language, just never with this kind of focus on the frontend bits

but sorry nextjs fans you’re wrong too for dismissing people’s worries about “separation of concerns”

the only real job you have as a programmer is encapsulation - figuring out what details to hide and what to expose

and because this is your one job, of course you’re all terrible at it

forcing a hand rolled API layer at least guaranteed some level of thought and blast zone for refactoring

with that gone, doing the wrong thing just got a lot easier

it’s why in past generations, the frameworks had some encapsulation ideas built in (to varying degrees of being useful)

all the acronyms, MVC, MVVM, DDD yes can be overkill but the root ideas exist for a reason

https://t.co/GATDGb5Ia8 had these ideas baked in, elixir’s phoenix has a tutorial about bounded contexts right at the beginning, PHP only got lambos once Laravel nudged you into a stricter structure

are they perfect? no. but they’re a hell of a lot better than whatever you’re about to come up with given that NextJS has no philosophy on this problem at all

so a lot of you are about to repeat all the same mistakes we’ve seen a generation ago if you don’t slow down

@paulg I found early on just asking myself: “would I hire this person if I knew what i know now?” seemed to always produce the correct answer. Additionally can make all the founders put their answer in a hat and reveal at once. Do it for every person on the team.

Learnt a new thing recently.

Growth mindset is not only about improving ourselves.

It’s believing that others can/will grow too.

[Ankur Nagpal @ankurnagpal]

It's been 2 years since we sold @teachable for a healthy 9-figure amount

In that time, I've traveled to lots of places, invested & worked with 50+ startups and had a ~lot~ of time to reflect on the journey

Here are all the things I'd do differently if I started over:

[nishank jain @_nishankj]

Anar's 4th offsite.

- 33 Anarites
- 1 amazing villa + 6 cottages
- 4 days, 3 nights
- One crazy hackathon with release-ready development!
- Cricket matches, football matches, swimming competitions, poker and what not!

Learn to clap loudly and genuinely when others succeed. 👏🏼

From thinking about scalability first, to thinking about PMF first.

[Subhash Choudhary @subhashchy]

Microservices solves a technical and organizational scaling problem.

If you don't have the problem, you don't need the added complexity.

Your boring codebase + Ubuntu VMs can easily handle a few million customers or a few thousands concurrent users.

Create the problem first!

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Work Hard

If you want to accomplish anything in life, you have to work hard.

Don't believe the hype. Hard work isn't the sexy, flashy Instagram posts saying "rise & grind”—it's the ugly, painful effort in the dark, when no one is watching.

If you want something, go get it.

[Julie Zhuo @joulee]

Just got some amazing advice from an old colleague I hadn't seen in 5+ years.

When choosing a company to be a part of, consider the people first and foremost. I cannot stress this enough.

Those colleagues will one day make up your network and have a huge impact on your future.

[Kunal Shah @kunalb11]

Only those who absolutely love becoming better versions of themselves can create great products.
