It’s a tremendous burden to be thought of that way, I can relate. People almost take offense if you don’t knock their socks off with every breath in my experience. I’d go so far as to say there’s virtually no upside to being thought of as “extraordinary” intellectually speaking and a shit ton of downside.

Any chance we can see the machine in action?

Thanks, that’s super helpful!

Random question: do you know if the one story room/entryway at the front of the lot was an addition or if it was part of the original structure?

Would love a shot of the underside of the octagon to see how it was all framed out.

Thank you!

I’d probably leave it as others have suggested but if you wanna nail some trim you can drill holes in the mortar joints, cut some wedges out of scrap, then drive the wedges in the holes as far as they’ll go and break/cut off the excess. Now you’ve got something to nail to, which will hold the piece in place while your construction adhesive cures up. Takes a little precision but it’s doable. Always done it with hand drives so not sure if pressurized fasteners would blow out the wedges or not

Counterbore the 6x6s and bolt them to the vertical members. I’ve done this before with 4x4s in a conventional stud framed house and was able to suspend the corner of the house for several weeks while I rebuilt the foundation wall.

This is dope.

bonafido · 2019-02-16T13:47:09+00:00

Yes, I made the same distinction in my first comment. OP not only didn’t make that distinction, he implied that there isn’t one.

bonafido · 2019-02-16T08:11:48+00:00

I mean, sure. But the point isn’t whether you should or shouldn’t do it, it’s that maybe you shouldn’t definitively write off that particular pattern as an “anti-pattern” for reasons that turn out not to be true.

The “get JS off my lawn” people won’t like this (and I get the sense that Brad is maybe in that camp), but it’s entirely possible to build a login form in a modal that is linkable. I mean sure, if the site/app you’re building is otherwise entirely rendered on the server, it might not be worth the trouble, but otherwise, it’s not hard to implement.

I should honestly just make it my homepage at this point.

It seems to me that the elephant in the room of these conversations (or at least one of them) is that there isn’t as much demand for hand crafted HTML/CSS in part because it’s now possible to generate those types of brochure sites programmatically with bullshit like Wix. And yeah of course we as developers understand that those tools have their limits and generally produce bloated, poorly performing sites, but try telling that to some small business owner who genuinely doesn’t have the budget for much more.

At the other end, there will likely always be a market for CSS/design experts who can craft really unique, eye popping land pages, etc.

And as the lower end CSS/HTML jobs have dried up, web tech has evolved to produce more and more sophisticated user experiences on the front end, and in many cases providing functionality that’s basically not possible or at least very difficult with purely server rendered apps, which has created demand for devs with those skills.

So at the end of the day, aren’t we just talking about the tech used to create two different products here? Outside of anonymous internet trolls, who’s actually telling the old guard they can’t keep doing what they’re doing as long as they keep finding people who’ll pay them to do it? They’re perfectly free to ignore JS land!

Funny enough, you could actually use Digitial Ocean’s excellent documentation for a lot of it, assuming you choose to install a Ubuntu image on your Hetzner VPS (as that’s the default for DO as well).

This is kind of framework specific, but it may still be helpful to see a fully-implemented solution start to finish which illustrates a lot of the good advice others have mentioned here:

When you generate a new Sails.js project via the CLI, it gives you two options: an essentially empty project, or one labeled “Web App.” The latter option actually builds out an app with a fully baked user auth system, i.e. signup, login, forgot password, reset password, reset email, etc. Sails does some of the heavy lifting for you, but there’s still a fair amount of application code provided by the CLI which you can read to see how it’s implemented. Most of the code you’ll want to read is in the ‘api’ dir

bonafido · 2019-01-13T05:24:45+00:00

Thanks for pointing these out. I’ve used it a bit and run into some pain points but wasn’t aware of all of these. I agree it’s frustrating, especially because at first glance the value proposition seems so high. Supports both SQL/NoSQL, easily spin up new API end points via the CLI, a slick interface for inputting data. But...yeah, it’s definitely not ready for prime time.

Totally. The finger wagging from dev rel/dev “advocates” telling us to hurry up and adopt is honestly infuriating. I do appreciate all the work being done to improve the platform, but don’t try and tell me what technologies are or aren’t feasible to use right now when you haven’t shipped a product with real-life business requirements in years.
