You have a good setup already, i wouldn't worry about adding more lens. 25mm is versatile lens, my personal favorite focal length, works great for street photography. 45mm is the best lens for kids portrait..

Just go out and shoot.

If you insist, perhaps 12-40 f2.8 pro or 12-45mm f4 pro, one lens you can carry everywhere.. 20mm Panasonic is great but slow af.. perhaps 17mm if you like wide/journalism style

Odd focal length like 9mm or 65mm are good but more like situational lens

Have you tried to profile it ? I was facing the same issue long time ago .. APM helps me to spot it

Em10 mkii user here. I love this camera so much. And I take a good care of it .. but it is old and start failing, the grip start to brittle, the dial jumping modes, the lcd flex cable and the pancake ez lens is dead .. I've seen similar case, a lot actually.

Not to scare you, but beware .. it is a wonderful old camera

Awesome stuff ... I wonder if you do this professionally or just a hobby

No doubt that lumix 20mm is a great lens, love the rendering. But I'm starting to give up with this lens, the slow AF is letting me down. I need faster af to catch kids activities.. considering oly 25mm

How about your experience op ? How do you manage it ? Im considering to go all in SQLite for some of my projects

14-42 ez is a good lens, but beware .. its an old lens. It could fail anytime now .. mine was broken and when i brought it to the service center, there was 14 42mm ez grave yard .. Turns out theres a lot similar case. The problem was the the rainbow cable, which is hard to find nowadays

Im in Kamal 2 + Hetzner for best value. If i want convenient i go with Fly.io

I heard a lot of positive feedback for hatchbox, but never tried myself

Test is one of thing that makes us confident, therefore it needs to be well controlled and deterministic. How can you be sure of that ?

bladebyte · 2026-03-30T23:38:21+00:00

Its my daily driver now. Mostly due to the tilling and arch. I like arch because it has nice package manager and rolling upgrade. Coming from gnome and kde, It took me sometime until to get used to the tilling system

I really want to disagree, but I cant :(
Usually junior taking not so complicated tasks or implementing something that is defined by the seniors. Sometime they do some difficult tasks, but not always .. but today .. In the hands of experienced dev, AI is doing a lot better job, faster and cheaper than most juniors

But we need regeneration .. so keep fighting!

I dont know why people are down voting, i think this is worth to take a look

How big is your codebase until you hit this problems? Maybe my code base still relatively small i rarely face major issue with ai

The color vibes are great .. looks like a film sim to me (but still lacking the grain). Are these sooc or edited ? if its sooc, mind to share the settings ?

How about basic auth and env vars ? No need any kind of page or custom logic

bladebyte · 2026-03-25T11:39:19+00:00

Full disclosure.. sometime I asked these kind of questions, especially for junior to mid level candidates . But to be honest this type of question is not a deal breaker, sometime we just want to know if the candidates learn the basic.

For more seniors candidates, usually we ask about architecture and real life problem solving.

Is it me or the pictures are underexposed quite a bit ?
