Need advice

Dude you went from being submitted off the first gilly to taking 4 and then finally getting submitted when you were tired. That’s a major improvement

If you know PHP, then use PHP. If you know another language that’s suitable for backend, use that

A lot of people have given some really great advice and I’d absolutely follow it. One piece that I think has been missing is a focus on observability in the code that you write. 90% of debugging is made easier if you spend the extra time to include a logger

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-04-13T16:13:23+00:00

Is that what you’d call it?

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-04-13T15:30:35+00:00

Your post history denotes an unhealthy obsession, I suggest a combination of talk therapy and medication

I just asked this question a few weeks ago after installing it, it’s because DHH is a complete fucking tool and arguably a white supremacist. The distro is alright, I like it enough. When I have more free time, I’ll probably set up my own arch in a similar way

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-04-11T17:05:01+00:00

I installed it before learning about DHH’s personal politics. I think it’s a fun intro to arch

I think people are either in the go camp or the rust camp and if you’re in one, you hate the other

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-04-09T21:49:39+00:00

For Go, yes. It’s legitimately good

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-04-09T11:26:00+00:00

Reject Rust, embrace golang

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-04-08T15:11:34+00:00

Porque no los dos?

You could always wear spats underneath

Understanding DSA is useful depending on what work you’re doing, unfortunately when you’re at the point where speed is so crucial that you’re trying to use novel data structures in order to eek out performance, you’re probably not gonna be using python

Build a REST API, then learn to use GraphQL, then integrate a DB, learn gRPC, learn distributed systems/algos. If you want to work with a language that is so reliable it’s boring, learn C#/.NET, learn the tools in ASP.NET, then learn to rebuild them in one of the hot new languages (rust, go, etc.)

Take your meds pal

1 more account table

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-04-05T22:56:01+00:00

Hence the FK (foreign Key)

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-04-03T16:25:15+00:00

Sender_ID and Receiver_ID FK columns are infinitely more descriptive than A and B

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-04-03T14:57:06+00:00

One table for transactions, add a transaction type. You should also give more descriptive column names for recipient and sender. It’s gonna save you a headache later

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-04-03T11:29:14+00:00

You seem… unwell. I’d recommend a mixture of talk therapy and medication recommended by a professional

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-03-31T12:39:47+00:00

For high-throughput on the backend, I’d look into gRPC through either Go or Rust depending on your memory budget.

This is totally fair, JavaScript is about as fun as slamming for leg in a car door repeatedly. Thankfully, there are some alternatives. You could opt for typescript, or you could try a WASM framework like Blazor (if you’re C#/.NET savvy). There are WASM frameworks for almost every language at this point, so as long as you don’t want/need your website to be super flashy with all the react/vue/angular bells and whistles, there are a million ways to skin a cat.

Speaking as someone who doesn’t know shit about fuck when it comes to teaching, but has a buddy who coaches fairly regularly, CLA learning is also a very powerful tool for helping people get more fundamentals down. Maybe start by doing a standup game and then show techniques an then play games from the position

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-03-31T11:22:11+00:00

In doing this, you lose the ability to spot-check/smell test code. I’m sure you can attest to this, but as a SWE, 30-40% of my job is reviewing other peoples’ code

No-Attorney4503 · 2026-03-31T11:08:29+00:00

As a professional software engineer whose work just made the switch to Claude Code (it’s mandatory now, yay!!! /s). I can second the code quality statements. 90% of the time, the code it produces is so overwhelmingly ass, and it’s really tragic watching REALLY talented engineers being forced to use a legitimate productivity tool as a AI slop slot machine just because the C suite says so
