I remembered in my previous job, I was a frontend Dev and there is a backend developer. There's a task where computations are needed before presenting data in the frontend. Backend Dev asked me to do the computations in the frontend instead. Well well 🤷‍♂️

Have you experienced this before?

I just found about Strapi. Like a wordpress but for Node Express API + CMS. I can focus more now in Frontend than do Express TypeORM Backend admin UI and other backend functionalities.

So is Strapi the best or there are some good competitors?

Can i do api call every hour a free service so that it will not fall asleep? Like www.repl.it, netlify and Heroku?

What is the duration when they fall asleep? 2 hours?

Good thing I found out about www.repl.it well it is like stackblitz that can host many programing languages with frameworks like node + express.
So my frontend will be in stackblitz then backend can be in repl.it

Database can be in firebase or heroku + jawsdb + mysql/postures.

Good for POC or test projects you want to do online. Hope this helps someone.

I hate night shifts. I now have insomnia and can't sleep now. But clients with night shifts have lots of money hmm I think I need to find morning clients. Same time zone as mine

I love ClickUp. The closest to all in one tool. I compared similar tools but i still keep coming back to ClickUp. Even their Free Tier is amazing!

Opening youtube in my iPhone then I see this shit. Fuck this. Thank God for youtube vanced.

My company laptop is windows so while working there it auto restarted out of nowhere while I was working and in the verge of something. Fck windows!

I'm starting a project from scratch using Node MySQL Angular stack api based. Which hosting is best for handling file uploads? Vultr, Digital Ocean, Heroku or Linode? This is for a startup so AWS, Azure and GCP may not be an option for now. Maybe in the future but for now I want simple pricing.

What hosting can you recommend to me? Thanks!

Rule of thumb when buying things. You need to research a lot and canvass other competitors of that product/service.

In short, I forgot to research pCloud's upload speed. They throttle my upload speed to 1Mbps only which is really slow (I'm in Asia by the way, their server is in US). Got tempted by their $350 2TB lifetime.

I tested the basic upload speed using browser 33.9MB file:
- pCloud 1 min 9 sec
- Dropbox 13 sec
- Google Drive 12 sec
- Mega.Nz 1 min 56 sec
- (I will test next sync.com)

I have a 100Mbps upload and 35 Mbps download speed. So it means "Lifetime" slow upload speed.

Side Question: Which Cloud backup service do you use and why? Thanks!

I miss my office fast internet connection. I only have 100 Mbps download / 35 Mbps download here at home.

Happy the devRantron mac client app is working again. Way back it suddenly did not work so I just used the mobile apps.

Am I the only one who doesn't like NoSQL? I really like relational databases.

If I cannot see the light then convince me to like NoSQL. But I think I will be forced to learn it because some companies use NoSQL. Also tech stacks like MERN, MEAN, etc.

Is NodeJS + Express + Sequelize enough for an Enterprise app from scratch. Or should I use other Node frameworks like AdonisJS or NestJS?

Frontend will be Angular 9. Database will be MySQL. Thanks!

I have iPhone and Android phone. Devrant crashes most of the time while using iPhone.

What cloud backup service are you using now?
So far the top 3 for me:
1. pCloud - with lifetime plan
2. Google Drive
3. Sync.com

Can I upload purchased downloaded video tutorials in the cloud? I will not share it to anyone. Just myself. Will I get in trouble?

Example if I upload it in pCloud or Google Drive. Thanks

Parents gonna retire soon. Well this is motivational for me.

Insomnia = developer problems. My body clock is broken because of graveyard shifts. I don't like night shift. It is killing my body. Weekends no work should be night shift too.

Imagine this in virtual meetings 😁

What stack do you like? PERN stack 😏
Postgres Express React Node

I watch lots of PERN tutorials! 😉

Contemplating of giving tailwind css a try. Did you already try using tailwind in your projects at work?

I believe that there are 2 paths. Either a successful job(a really high salary) or building your own business. Which do you prefer? I prefer to have my own business.

Graveyard shift sucks. I'm a morning person. My body clock is broken. I still can't sleep. Damn. Perks of being a high paid slave living in a rat race 🤷‍♂️

I just read that snickers can make you fall asleep. Will eat one now. Wish me luck guys.

Why should I use Redux in React aside from its beautiful chrome extension? For job purposes only?

I think RxJs and React context API + hooks can do the same job with less codes.

Also, there are a lot of developers who don't like Redux.

Convince me to use Redux

I hate java. I think Python is much better. Besides Python salary is much bigger

Bought top tier Asus ROG phone 3. Good decision than iPhone 12 pro max. Just half the price of that iPhone. I love YouTube Vanced and Max call of duty mobile max settings 😀

Wish there was fantastical 2 in Android then I'm good to go full-time.

I don't like React Redux. Big and lots of boilerplate code just to get working. I prefer RxJs and Context API.

But between Context and RxJs, I will choose RxJs for global state management

Why is it called brown bag sessions? Not white or black bag. Black bag sessions

I miss reading Dev related books while relaxing at the same time
