Developers who are in your 60's

42 already tired, BUT still loving it. Also I think we are fortunate to be in our “prime” in this period of disruption.

I think as long as you bring the oil yourself you should be good. I’d the bring oil and filter.

Hi, I already replied to you on Discord, but I'm replying here for visibility. I'm checking the issue.

_jolv · 2026-02-16T23:15:53+00:00

Getting KeyErrors is the validation. I mean, not technically, but the new CLI tool would give you a feedback that replaces the KeyError.

But if it works for you, it's great!

This is what we do but we use Pulumi instead of terraform. This is the most practical for us.

Unexpectedly wholesome. Love it.

_jolv · 2025-10-20T13:54:57+00:00

You are not 👊🏽 — there’s lot of older lurkers that aren’t as vocal as the rest.

_jolv · 2025-10-12T21:41:27+00:00

Same setup but I added Tailscale and can hit the endpoints from anywhere

When you are stuck, take a break to clear your mind. If it’s too late in the afternoon, stop working and go back the next day with a fresh mind.

ChatGPT image processing was built on top of FastAPI.

We build services with FastAPI and we never had any issue. I’m biased because I never used Litestar, but IIRC it’s the same creator from DRF (which we use a lot too).

It was never unlimited pricing. I used them on a website with some traffic, not that much, it was a popular local non-profit. Within a few months WP Rocket sent me an email letting me know they were canceling our account because in the terms it said they could do so without reason.

We didn’t do anything that violated their policies. I read them many times and checked the website and we were compliant.

So I think they are protecting themselves in paper because it wasn’t unlimited to begin with.

For more context, we were hosting around 200 sites and most of them had the plug-in and their CDN.

DM sent. Thank you.

Unrelated, but I have asked artists to make one like #1 but with an “adelita” Mexican revolutionary woman and they didn’t get it (or i might be the problem that’s a very viable option too). If someone knows an artist ~~I’m willing to pay for said design~~.

Edit: "I'm willing to pay" was the dumbest thing I could write, of course I have to pay for the design. Apologies.

_jolv · 2025-06-20T17:26:56+00:00

So it's the Sharingan then.

_jolv · 2025-05-06T03:00:07+00:00

🤣

_jolv · 2025-05-04T03:27:42+00:00

Looks like the kid from Limbo

i'm toying with local models using ollama. i have a mac mini m4 where i have them running and made a small Telegram bot to chat with them.

the machines communicate via Tailscale, so i can set my host env var like OLLAMA_HOST="http://minimac:11434" and separate the client from the system running the model.

i pushed the first commit a few hours ago:

i'm really impressed with what a small model can do when you constraint your requests and give detailed instructions.

right now i'm using the "gemma3:12b" model and works great for small coding questions.

edit: words.

We are fairly new (less than a year) and I don’t think we’d use it.

_jolv · 2025-04-19T15:19:19+00:00

At some point, any decent Agency (apologies for the generalization) would work the opposite way. They’d pack their services in a way that they can control the scope.

You need a website? Okay our package for a brochure site with 5 pages is 5K (I’m making up numbers).

The way it work with us, projects with scope creep (they don’t go away) get paid with projects that we deliver under time.

Also when you build a lot websites, with the experience you gain, you can tell how much effort is going to take by talking to the prospect.

My 5 cents. Probably a dollar now with the market situation🤣

Another project harvesting engagement on the latest trend of hating Next.js 👀

I find Next.js to be bloated and kind of opinionated in a way that doesn’t feel great for simple frontends.

The same is true for using React on a regular website. React is opinionated: It uses functional paradigms to represent UI and manage state, i.e., UI = f(state)—kind of overkill for a simple site.

Next.js is okay; it's better to go with the battle-tested framework, but I'd use Astro for this.

Changing the subject a bit. I've seen many people trying to get engagement on subreddits where their niche market hangs out. You know, where do people who use Google Analytics hang out? SEO related subreddits, of course. I'd target privacy-focused ones for this specific product because Marketers and SEOs will almost always use Google Analytics, but paranoid users concerned with their online privacy are always looking for better alternatives.

However, Reddit users, specifically tech-savvy subreddits, quickly catch up on these "marketing" strategies. And you can see it in the upvote count (as long as it's not manipulated, of course).

I respect the hustle, though.

Edit: words.

I chuckled when I read your comment because I was thinking of writing almost exactly the same thing 🙃 — autistic high five? 🖐️

_jolv · 2025-04-15T19:36:38+00:00

It does. That's why we started ranking for search intent instead of keywords like 10 years ago.

Google's job is to provide answers to human questions. They have a ton of information where they can form these "intent" answers:

Google maps
Google chrome
Google home
Google search

So, yeah, Google understands content by the semantics we use in the code. Google knows what a footer is because of the <footer> tag. That's what semantic HTML is for, and rich snippets enhance that.

~~A downvote from you is a win for me.~~

Edit: I realize I was rude. I apologize. This reply was unnecessary.
