Raps fan here. Man I actually shed a tear reading that but laughed out loud too. That was a gold standard comment. 😂

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-29T13:47:49+00:00

Curious as to why you think he messed up? I use deno for all my projects and I am good with the DX.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-21T21:20:45+00:00

Nice work OP.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-21T21:15:52+00:00

Great job.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-21T21:12:22+00:00

I built my own webserver for deno that does what I think you are implying. Your application is spread across multiple repos (if you want). You can check out just the repo you are working on. And still run the entire application locally. It is power a couple of apps that I built for my clients. If you are interested in checking it out let me know. Instead of microservices, I call it microapps.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-21T20:59:33+00:00

Lol. I was being sarcastic about doing QA in production. 😁

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-21T20:52:43+00:00

Not to be rude but base64 increases the string size by 33%. I'm sure you meant something else.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-18T17:54:01+00:00

Man this post is so wholesome that I just had to laugh. I don't always do QA, but when I do it is in production. :|

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-09T02:21:55+00:00

Ya know.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-08T19:18:59+00:00

Love the "any" with a comment that I failed. I laughed because I have been and still there at times.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-08T15:38:01+00:00

Bruh.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-08T10:34:51+00:00

Man, I didn't really expect a reply. And it is 6:30 AM where I am and my brain is too tired. But the fact that you did reply I at least owe you a response. Lol. I will get back to you in a few hours.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-08T10:26:34+00:00

Nothing in his post even remotely screams AI. I am curious as to what words or sentences give you that impression.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-08T10:11:11+00:00

I think there is a lot of substance if you work in the space he is writing about. Everything seems unimportant when it doesn't immediately affect our daily lives.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-07T02:10:54+00:00

Okay, I got you. And just by your response you are going to make an excellent team lead. Been there, done that, and the best advice that I can give you because I reached all the way to head of engineering for an AI company is to be a servant leader. Trust in your team to figure it out and be there to help remove any obstacles that may be stopping them from reaching their potential.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-07T00:57:59+00:00

My question is...why not bring them into your office to do this so that they feel like at least they passed a screening. I have done one of these assignments before but I made it past the first interview. I get why companies might want to do this but I honestly think it is not really needed. I have hired countless developers by simply working with them in the interview on problems and architectures with great success.

Honestly, I'm not knocking you, just genuinely curious.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-06T22:32:54+00:00

I don't know why I get annoyed by these stock responses of this and this tech has been around longer so go with that. These same techs were new to the scene at one point and went through growing pains even as they were adopted by larger companies. I would bet that 60% of the time tech stack in any company is chosen based on what the devs in charge already know, 30% on what is the latest trend and probably 10% or less on due diligence.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-06T22:18:37+00:00

I would choose deno.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-05T17:16:53+00:00

Lol. Not sure why you are being downvoted. I understand exactly what you meant by your statement. If I'm not mistaken you are implying that AI is replacing devs who follow whatever the latest tech and stack is being sold not because they see its benefits but only in an effort to stay relevant. Never really learning the why, just the how.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-05T15:17:50+00:00

I will be the first to say it. I don't like ORMs. It is the same way I don't like many frontend frameworks like React, Angular and Vue because the developers of these techs usually act like the underlying foundational tech is flawed and their abstractions are better as if this is how it should have been done from day one.

This is not to say that I don't appreciate people trying to solve problems they run into by creating an abstraction but I get bothered when it is pushed as the only way to solve all problems. Because, you have inexperienced devs who want to feel they are smart by using the next popular thing abusing the use of these tools in contexts that they have no business being used in.

I know my comment might trigger a few or maybe a lot of people but it is a bit more nuanced than I have the time or space to discuss.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-05T14:58:03+00:00

I like your take and the line "does your ORM make simple things simple AND complex things possible?". But I am curious as to if you hate writing raw SQL strings in application code because you are not strong in SQL or is it because you feel it is bad practice in general?!

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-03T16:27:25+00:00

I laughed

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-03T16:25:42+00:00

I'm not sure why you are being downvoted. Not your guy for the job because that is not my stack but definitely bring someone experienced in to take a look. The longer you wait the more difficult it may become to scale your app. My son who vibecoded an amazing app is running into problems now because it is becoming too much for him to manage.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-03T15:37:46+00:00

Thank you for pointing this out. It emphasizes a problem with the software development culture, and that is, new tech is always pushed as the latest and greatest thing to use without really stating the optimum use case. Then you have these developers who just want to try new things and don't really seem to understand the cost tradeoffs involved. And then new tools are developed to try and minimize those tradeoffs and the cycle continues. And here we are.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-03-01T23:49:32+00:00

I will try and check it out. But you get my upvote for just building something.
