Damn this quokka. Saw a discount today and purchased it. Now I can't make it work to my existing create react app. Just wasted $25 because of the hype.

I hate myself. I have insomnia. Sleeping is hard for me. I can be easily waken up by little movements, change of temperature and even little noise. Also I have a nasal cycle. When I'm asleep I can even wake up because of this stupid nasal cycle.

A long deep uninterrupted sleep or breathing in both of my nostril is heaven for me.

Way back no full stack. Now theres full stack and companies expect us also to be full stack + DevOps God that knows Azure, AWS, Jenkins, Docker, Ansible , puppet etc.

They want to save money and hire a one man IT department.

Full stack web and mobile developer with DevOps God skills.
Frontend = Angular React
Backend = Java Python
DB = NoSQL, MySQL, Firebase, Postgres

So I have an upcoming exam. I'm too lazy to review. I'll just rely on stock knowledge lol goodluck to me

Lol the guy in my team make it sound like masterbaita. What an accent lol. Lol which should be master data 😂 so no one is correcting him

I'm an Angular frontend Dev and the backend is python. I don't know python. Manager deployed me to a the project as a full stack. I said I don't know python and still I got the project lol. They hired another python guy to do the backend. Now my manager said me to they committed to the client that the full stack Dev (which I Am) will learn Python eventually (then maybe fire in the future the python guy because I will be the full stack God) The thing is I hate python and only want to do angular.

Now I'm forced to learn Python with this big code base backend. Talking about multiple hats. Maybe soon I will also be the DevOps guy lol have you experienced this before?

I hate react-redux boilerplate code and NgRx boilerplate codes too. How to avoid boilerplate code or minimize it?

I've heard about zustand but it is quite new. Legacy apps mostly use react-redux with lots of boilerplate codes.

I was a PHP guy most of my career and likes 4 spaces in tabs. Now that I'm a JS guy now I like 2 spaces in tabs and dislikes 4 now lol. It makes coding more compact.

I don't see the reason to use 4 anymore. Do you also like 2 spaces in tabs?

I hate unnecessary meetings. It is a waste of my productive time. Also I hate daily stand ups that becomes a regular meeting with question and answer portion lol

It is like they are lazy creating a separate meeting for specific concerns and just brings it up in the daily stand ups lol nice way of doing agile things lol

What CI CD are you using for work? Ours is a self hosted sub domain jenkins in a VM.

Also, what CI CD is almost required in every job? Jenkins? Thanks!

Should I focus first in AWS than Azure? My big company now provides us free enterprise subscription 150 dollars monthly credit to experiment.

Woke up early. Drank coffee and my mindset is so ready to do some work. After 30 minutes I'm so sleepy like a literal crash down and will sleep now. Body why you do this? I hate night shifts. It destroys my body clock. I hope weekends and mall hours are night shifts as well.

Also I hate company internal system project when I am assigned to a client and the client don't know that. I can't tell it to the client and my company can't tell also because my hours are 100% committed to the client.

Our Daily Stand Up literally became a meeting with discussions and Q&A portion. Greater than 30 minutes LOL

Programming is stressful. I feel like I'm 50 years old already with white hairs. What non technical job have high salary but lesser stress?

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
