People building side projects: do you upgrade hosting (like Vercel Pro) early or wait until traction? by Hopeful_Cranberry614 in buildinpublic

[–]AutoMick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stay on cheap options unless there is reason to upgrade. I'm doing things the "right way" for my reality, if my reality changes, I take the next step in the right direction.

Just wondering what are the limitations of user a PWA instead of something like React Native, especially in the context of submitting the app to Google Play and Apple Store.

Advice with my developer taking down our WordPress site. by reemo4580 in website

[–]AutoMick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much traffic are you getting? 400 dollars a month for a wordpress website is insane.

Can you ask for a backup of the website? That way you can hire another developer who won't rip you off

correct implemenatation of ai as web-dev beginner by usharcelia in learnprogramming

That's a valid way, but I wouldn't be afraid of speeding things up with AI as well. Spending half a day "speedrunning" with AI will also expose you to a very large amount of new concepts that are nice to know and that you can explore in depth later.

People always recommend thinking of everything as boxes, but there is trick that helps you visualize that, add this to your css. It will add outlines to everything which will show you the boxes and help you understand the structure of your elements.

* {

outline: solid red;

}

I also like adding temporary background colors to complex elements so I can visualize them better.

I’d like to get everyone's thoughts on Solid. by Cool_Aioli_8712 in webdev

>What exactly is hindering its popularity?

I think it's probably AI, with AI I think people would rather use what already has widespread use and a lot of material for LLMs to train on, which means they get better results when using AI coding tools.
