I'm truly impressed how @getcreatr simplifies the product development process, making PRDs, wireframes, and designs accessible in minutes. The focus on enhancing productivity and creativity is spot-on.

Software Development being a desk job takes a big toll on health.

Let's not normalise the unhealthy lifestyles which seem to become part of it.

- Staying awake at night to code is not cool.
- Having too many screens is not cool.
- Too much coffee is not cool.

More?

Should you aspire for FAANG?

For that, you should know why FAANG term came into picture at first place.

FAANG were stocks had long records of outperformance and dominating their respective markets at that time.

Nothing to do with work culture, career growth or tech sevy.

Frontend devs whisper: "Where are my prod logs?!"

I love to use @getsentry for frontend logging.

Have you used Sentry yet?

Which Open Source Project are you contributing to in 2024?

Which DB you use in your web app on client side?

Many may get confused on why DB in frontend.

It can help a lot in handling data.

My favourite is RxDB because it works as wrapper on top of other storages like IndexedDB, memory, localstorage etc.

You can even switch based on which device is running your webapp.

You for sure don't want a device with 2 GB memory to store 500 MB tab on memory, even if memory access is quickest in available list.

For all device there can't be same DB that will be most suitable or even acceptable at all. You need to choose at runtime and RxDB can help.

Offline first applications often face conflicts in data.

If you also faced a similar scenario, CRDT is a great data structure to deal with this.

You don't have to manage this by yourself. Redis and many other databases have inbuilt support for CRDT.

What is a good web app?

According to me, a good web app isn't just about any one thing.

It needs to cover a lot of factors like

- Good UX for the customers
- Better shipping experience for developers
- Easier to deploy and scale for devops
- Cost efficient for the company

What is your most favourite feature of PostgreSQL?

Mine is "Custom data types". As it opens so many options and creates so much flexibility.

You can save GeoJSON and so much more. How cool is that.

You gotta love @ApacheCamel for how quickly and easily it integrate various systems consuming or producing data.

CSV, JSON, Plain text, REST API etc, no problem.

Kafka, RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ etc, no problem.

What is your Apache Camel use case?

Ever dropped the wrong db? :D

Singleton Objects get garbage collected?

Yes.

Static variables get destroyed when class unload.
That means singleton object might now have any ref from here on.

Don't use static and Singleton Objects as global if you depend on them to manage older context like a counter.

I saw a pattern of how most Developers are not so careful when saving Personal Identifiable Information in databases.

Obviously you wouldn't save passwords as plaintext but what about email, phone, location and other such PII

Let's discuss how you do it.

Backend interview question

What occurs if a database experiences a crash after a change initiated but not completed?

It's a compelling question that opens up discussions on backend communication and database internals.

Share your response in reply.

You gotta love ChangeStreams in MongoDB.

Definitely not a full replacement for Kafka in event-driven architecture but still pretty cool for most stuff.

Software Dev Wisdom 💡

Take the parts that vary and encapsulate them, so that later you can alter or extend the parts that vary without affecting those that don’t. 💻🔒🔓

The sustainability problem is not yet solved for Web3.

For most operations in Web3 , comparatively more computation is required. That too generally from unregulated sources.

Overall much bigger carbon footprint.
