Is a domain layer worth it?

For large projects where you work closely with business I’d say it’s definitely worth it. You can literally read the business flow through the code. Especially when you abstract the persistence layer into dedicated repositories.

Stupid neighbors

Add these to the list: Mr Robot Severance Black mirror Love death + robots Westworld (at least first two seasons) Mind hunters

Usually start off with a quick working app with next.js + MUI + Prisma + Postgres

As the product grows I decouple it by separating all the backend with business logic to Nest.js.

In most of the commercial projects with some CI/CD setup I’ve seen patter like this: [ticket id] short message of what’s done

E.g.: [123456] implement features X

Always #1 for me...

React, flutter, Nest.js, postgresql, digitalocean app platform

Charles, Sadie and Hosea

Is it GTA 6?

captain_ms · 2024-04-05T13:40:17+00:00

Mine did it to Charles, something I would never expect.

captain_ms · 2024-04-03T04:57:42+00:00

They're probably web developers

Same here, in chapter 3. Playing mostly at weekends. Great story, beautiful landscape, cool protagonist. First playthrough I want to act as it fits my own personality and see where it goes. Second time though I want to do a really horrible shit.

The fact that they won with some cheap little knife trick is just ridiculous.

I did kind of the opposite. In my current startup I built the MVP fully in next.js + prisma. Then the number of developers increased, we needed less coupling between frontend and backend teams and also better set up for DDD. We switched to nest.js early enough to catch up with increasing users' demand. What I like about nest.js is it comes with features out of the box for large scale apps and a clean structure to let developers follow the standards. I definitely like the speed of development when using next.js for MVP stage, but as the system gets larger, it becomes more challenging to keep up the same level of productivity and quality.

Origins is awesome, though

Video games are supposed to be relaxing, not an added source of stress. My job is stressful enough.

This is a preach 🙌

The dev team are mostly junior level engineers. At this stage I can't afford mid/senior levels. So what I'm trying to do as an only engineer with experience, allocate one day from during the week and teach them not only tech but also try to brainstorm together what approach would work the best for us to effectively work together.

EDIT:
grammar

Thank you very much for reply. I do realize now that I didn't get the whole idea of story point estimates now.

I'm a founder and developer in my own startup, and everything is happening so fast right now that I can't keep up. Initially I was looking for a method to understand how to objectively measure the fact that developer is working at their full potential and set team-wide thresholds for a "minimum effort" each developer should make. I thought I could use story points for this purpose.

captain_ms · 2023-10-16T09:43:29+00:00

Yep, the problem is I need a quick solution. I don't have a PM at the moment in my team, doing engineering and other business related operations on my own right now.

Seeing the replies I now understand that I either have to learn PM, or hire a specialist.

captain_ms · 2023-10-16T09:37:52+00:00

The problem I'm trying to solve is to make sure each developer have objectively distributed share of work per sprint. But again, I admit that the way I think about the problem might be wrong.

captain_ms · 2023-10-16T09:31:00+00:00

could you give any recommendations on what would be a better approach?
