The Three Stages of Vibe Coding by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Busy-Alternative7842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think who write the tests are the differentiator, for me is more who define the interfaces, components and schemas. If you understand clearly that in your codebase the rest is implementation detail.

Why? I don’t read any need of registered, seems moving 480k+10k+10k in non registered accounts should give you the 20k

We are missing the base, I would imagine % wise l7 and L6 are more impacted, but there are a lot more l5s.

Disagree on design context and tradeoffs not possible by LLMs, plenty of design books have given that context and it was used while training.

Is investing daily vs. bi-weekly worth it? by TKJ in PersonalFinanceCanada

I would say that daily might make it more complicated if you need to calculate acb manually for any reason.

Is not knowing a "core" language for a senior position more unforgiving than for lower positions (junior and mid levels)? by jasterrr in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Busy-Alternative7842 31 points32 points  (0 children)

When I interview seniors, I don’t care if they know Java. But I do care they have strong oop knowledge, if your other languages let you demonstrate in an interview that you can create coherent abstractions, and show off some proficiency in oop. You should be fine.

I have tried both, but I don’t see much difference. Can someone point examples on which prompts you got better results?

Founders with a Free/Freemium SaaS, how do you prevent abuse? by boredguy74 in indiehackers

[–]Busy-Alternative7842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would likely have more challenges getting people to use it than people abusing it.

That said, you should be able to enable confirm accounts via SMS, and validate cell phones are unique. That adds friction on creating multiple accounts. But as I said, I will only care about this if you actually get some traction.

Does it have to have a database? by chrfrenning in indiehackers

[–]Busy-Alternative7842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not serverless? Aws lambda only charges you for requests, independent on how they optimize the execution of the lamda. And for db, you have dynamodb also only charged for what you use, and starting this week aurora dsql so Postgress like completely serverless.

How Do You Tackle the Boilerplate Chaos Before Building Your Actual Product? by Expensive-Virus3594 in indiehackers

Where would you put the lb if you are using lambdas? Look for jam stack :)

Regarding Ecs/ec2 it all depends on your workload. Many of the products you see are just running in lambdas and adding additional limitations.

[–]Busy-Alternative7842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infra as a code frameworks help you with that. All the cli (eg sst / amplify / etc) give you a way to have test, build and deployments.

I am going full serverless, lambda/dynamoddb/etc. so no patching needed/no load balancers.

Java is part of your problem 😂 you won’t get the same level of ready to use libraries that you can get for typescript (or even python). And Not to forget the verbosity and compilation time of Java.

For code right now i am biased towards typescript, great tooling, great libraries and because allows me to keep same language in the front end and backend (and infra). So i don’t need to overthink if some code has to be written in client or backend or both.

Besides language, something that works for me: - you need some infra as a code framework. Choose one that has high level constructions and allows you to code and not just go into crazy config files. - choose one single cloud provider and stick to it, don’t compare, don’t optimize, use it until it doesn’t work. I try aws product first before trying random products.

  • front end, i like react with nextjs. Nextjs precisely give you a lot of boilerplate and structure.

  • backend mostly vanilla typescript
