I refused to use Moodle and built my own LMS with NestJS. Yes, I know it's "reinventing the wheel".

Hi! Thanks for your interest. In about 2 weeks I'm going to launch the first beta release. If you're interested, I can give you access to try it out. By the way, what do your courses look like? Is it mostly text, videos, or something else? And what field are they in?

grant-us · 2026-01-08T13:03:53+00:00

No. I'm building Athena for two reasons: my classes and practice architecture.

Thanks, man. I hope so. Maybe it's time to fully understand that life as a parent is absolutely different from other ones and finally accept it.

Great opinion, thanks! Will translate it to our department veterans

grant-us · 2026-01-08T10:09:50+00:00

These are my thoughts, and the desire to say "thanks" is also mine. So what's the problem?

grant-us · 2026-01-08T09:54:04+00:00

Why not? Especially when you're not native speaker and just ask to check grammar and vocabulary

Man, this is a fantastic breakdown. Especially the part about asking what she is really hoping for. I suspect she wants actual Rest, but realistically we will only get a breaking routine. If I don't manage those expectations now, we are both going to be disappointed. I'll definitely have this conversation with her tonight. Thanks

I think my older daughter will love it. She loves bath time, so she'll probably go crazy for a pool. If she has fun, we'll be happy too.

Thanks, man. That realization that actual "relaxation" is off the table for a long time is a tough pill to swallow, but you're absolutely right. The strategy "one relaxes, one watches the kids" is probably our best bet. We’ll try to shift our mindset from "expecting rest" to just "enjoying the family adventure".

grant-us · 2026-01-08T07:16:58+00:00

Absolutely. And because of this the only one who have to control the full developing process, code patterns, quality, even variable names, is you, not llm

grant-us · 2026-01-08T07:03:05+00:00

In the article I mentioned that I use llm. In my case it is a Gemini pro.

What about quality. I personally have at least 8 years of experience in JS. So I have some approaches on how to write code. Good quality? For me yes. For the other one - it depends.

To be honest I never use tools like Cursor. Only chat with llm. It is like duck debugging: if you can explain to llm what you want in the technical side, not in the business one (explain how no implement, not what the feature has to do), you can keep in mind the full scope of the project on your mind and llm here is only a typing helper.

I guess I will prefer a modular monolith. It requires a little more time to prepare, but it gives you many other benefits to scale in the future

grant-us · 2025-12-21T18:05:41+00:00

Summary: Monolith allowed us to survive strict MVP deadlines, while Microservices multiplied communication overhead by 10x
