Saw a dude writing code in a coffee shop, no Copilot, no ChatGPT, just straight raw dogging VSCode

Zod is a fantastic way to bring runtime safety to your types. Honestly, defining your schema in Zod, doing a z.infer<typeof schema> to get the type and then going about your normal typescript-foo is awesome. We’re moving to use this much more in our projects. Highly recommended!

Trying to get my head around rust and upon first use I can see why it’s so widely adopted and used. But man, this whole memory borrowing thing is a whole new kettle of fish 😂

Whilst h.265 is a patent nightmare, I really wish it was part of the “must implement” of the WebRTC spec. What’s the alternative if you want native low latency h.265 on web if you don’t want to transcode?

Great 🧵 about copilot and how tightly it integrates into your workflow when coding. Not much else in the world like it

Super cool guide on how DNS works with programmatic examples. If you’re a programmer and think you know how DNS works, read this - it makes you think about how such an old protocol was implemented so well from the start (ignoring security 😂)

Interesting that so many WebRTC implementations (Google Meet included!) don’t even exchange SDPs, yet instead fill their own out with the necessary parameters. What’s the advantage here?

We’ve actually written a JSON-based format which very closely mimics the React “createElement” paradigm. This works extremely well for customer modification, where we can slightly tweak layouts and wordings and store that in a DB

Set up OrbStack today - if you’re not already using it on macOS you’re missing out. It compiles one of our webpack apps almost 10x faster than Docker Desktop. There’s some other awesome features in there too

Wrote some .NET yesterday - a surprisingly enjoyable experience 😅

You know I think one thing a lot of people take for granted in New Zealand is how good our internet / fibre network is. If you’ve ever had experience with NBN in Australia you know what I mean 😅

We have folders with atoms, molecules and organisms, and place components in these folders based on how much functionality they provide. Has worked well for us!

whooooooa 🤯 mdn.io/reduce mdn.io/array-reduce mdn.io/something-like… mdn.io/is-it-reduce-i… i no longer need google

We’ve just purchased some new Dell server kit and are really looking forward to setting up a Proxmox HCI environment (with Ceph) with it - any gotchas or things we should look out for? Going to document the process here so keep an eye out for updates

We use Linear and it’s awesome. Interesting correlations with not having any metrics - our metrics are getting in front of customers and talking to them. Seeing user behaviour is far more important than logging it in your app

Huh. TIL Podman runs containers without a daemon. Cool!

Your reminder that this hilarious module exists and works quite well 😂 github.com/nvbn/thefuck

Today is the day! Apple Vision Pro is out and React Native is ready! 🥽 We just released React Native visionOS 0.73 🚀 I wrote a blog post on how you can get started ⬇️

This resonates. We’re a small team with one full-time ops engineer, who manages kubernetes alongside all of his other ops work. Once it’s up and running, it’s hardly more complex and time consuming than using the public cloud offerings
