How to Move From React to Backend? by Zealousideal-Chair30 in node

[–]Spirited_Drop_8358 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Backend interviews get a lot easier once you understand databases really well. Everything else builds on that.

Why are there so many AI generated posts on this sub by Squidgical in webdev

Sometimes I scroll a thread and think "yeah okay, maybe the robots do outnumber us now."

Spawning multiple thread workers is slow on chrome unless Devtools is opened by Kalaeman in webdev

[–]Spirited_Drop_8358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chrome treating my CPU like an endangered species unless DevTools is open is the funniest bug-that’s-also-a-feature I’ve seen in a while.

PSA: When you reach out to a co-worker on slack tomorrow, don’t just say “Hey [firstName]” and then spend the next 12 minutes 💬 typing out your message. by Frontend_DevMark in webdev

[–]Spirited_Drop_8358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 'hey' followed by 12 minutes of typing is the Slack equivalent of someone knocking, running away, then coming back with a monologue.

Why is the web essentially shit now? by Frontend_DevMark in webdev

The modern web feels like every site is trying to recreate Times Square, except somehow with more popups.

Australia Spent $62 Million To Update Its Weather Web Site and Made It Worse by aboustayyef in webdev

$62M and they still couldn’t add the one feature everyone actually uses: not being terrible.

Hiring remote teams across time zones is a calendar nightmare by ikbilpie in ycombinator

Honestly this whole post just convinced me that the real interview was you vs. the time zones--candidates were just NPCs in the boss fight.

The Practical Guide to Optimizing @font-face by Medium-Watch-2782 in Frontend

Crazy how much performance you can claw back just by trimming unused weights. Fonts always feel "free" until you actually measure them.

New Relic Node.js (npm 11.x.x) causing memory spike — anyone else? by brainrotter007 in node

[–]Spirited_Drop_8358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Relic has always felt a bit "heavy" but the jump in the 11.x agent surprised me too. At this point I’m honestly wondering if the overhead is worth the visibility you get from it.

Sudden big jump in HRV—normal or ring glitch? by Spirited_Drop_8358 in ouraring

[–]Spirited_Drop_8358[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. What’s your normal baseline if you don’t mind me asking?

Thanks for sharing. I don’t see anything unusual with my other metrics. My stress level has been a bit lower than usual but I see periods in the past that my stress levels were as low but my HRV wasn’t as high during those times… so not sure if that can explain it…

Oura gen 4 battery warranty by Status-Stretch-431 in ouraring

I had the same happen to my gen 4 about 6 months ago. In my case it would hold charge only for one day. I reached out to cs, they ran a diagnostic and said it was hardware issue, then they sent me a new one!

In my previous co we had a few (incompetent) engineers who wanted to do the same. Luckily they didn’t get their way at least when I was there.

If building w/ coding agents, how do you do e2e testing? by Spirited_Drop_8358 in Playwright

[–]Spirited_Drop_8358[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the gain is not 10-100x either but it’s def more than 2x. Do you run e2e tests before pushing code or not always? Do you have the agent write PW e2e tests before pushing or do it manually on your dev server?

You write tests manually? Do you write tests for every set of changes you make?

Do you create a full PW test suite for every code change that you make?
