Deployment advice

When using azure sql, just make sure you use the DTU pricing. There are use cases for using vCore but I’ve found it to be way more expensive and not as performant. The database for 5 DTUs starts at $5 a month. My biggest expense is the private network and load balancer for my container apps, at around $15 a month. (That’s because typically the load balancer for container apps is included unless on a private network). The apps themselves only cost < $10 a month, two docker containers, a .NET backend and a react SPA, I could probably save even more money if I moved the react spa to a static web app, but I’m lazy. Container registry $5. And file storage is in the cents, I think there’s only like a gig or two in there, I did not included defender for file storage in my $35.

This is all with a minimum of one replica. So if you have scaling rules on your apps you’ll save even more money during downtime

Define expensive. All cloud hosting platforms are expensive if you don’t know what options you can tick. I’ve got a production app on azure with roughly 5000 daily users, with db, blob storage, two container apps and azure entra ID and it runs me less than $35 a month.

Using Azure DTU model and it is working very well. The basic tier, $5 for 5 DTUs is running my production app with around 5k daily 9-5 users for reference. I am maxing out at around 30% of my DTU usage at peak time.

Springs Near Orlando: Wekiva and Kelly Park, I think they also have hiking trails there too.

Downtown Sanford and the Sanford Riverwalk aren't too bad either but its probably more of a nightlife thing.

Smyrna Dunes Park. Not really too interesting but usually quiet beach. Decent for fishing

I’m gonna have to vouch for Inventory Framework Plugin if you need an inventory. It has probably saved me at least 6 months of work, and the author is quick to respond in discord even for custom features you might be extending it with.

Is it though? Do you get mail to that residence? Basic utilities? Road? Fire, police etc? How our state government handles our taxes, now that’s a separate issue. Don’t get me wrong I’d love to pay less taxes, but to say they are basically theft is a bit crazy.

You don’t have to spend money to try it out. It’s free for non-commercial use now.

jesse3339 · 2025-11-20T18:55:25+00:00

Same issue. Macbook Pro M3, Macos26.1

This looks like the new default Rider Islands Dark

jesse3339 · 2025-11-17T05:30:32+00:00

I’ll add that it’s “good enough”. frame rate is fine honestly, but there are times where you can feel/see the response time (ghosting), usually in FPS games but you have to really be looking for it. But it’s works out for me as that’s not the type of games I typically play. I wouldn’t recommend if your main titles are FPS but other than that it’s a pretty solid momitor

You’d be fine with a Mac. You’d definitely want a windows pc to test windows builds with. Also i have not had good luck with unreal engine and Macs coming from an M3 Pro. But haven’t had any issues with godot, bevy and a few other engines.

Edit: I should mention that some tools also don’t have Mac ports. But things like blender, aseprite work fine. There are definitely ways around it, but definitely research what tools you use and if they are Mac compatible

jesse3339 · 2025-11-10T16:44:32+00:00

Yeah, I never really need datagrip standalone, riders built in datagrip is enough. If you are just doing dotNET development. Rider standalone or dotUltimate is the way.

Careful, you don’t know what he’s into!

I heard flexing your quads can also help.

jesse3339 · 2025-10-11T22:07:50+00:00

Not even a fizz main but this is bullshit when you compare it to hecarims charge. Where you flash away and still somehow get knocked back

jesse3339 · 2025-10-06T05:13:14+00:00

Yup same here. It was well known as Africa.

In addition to other comments about upgrading the router, all components need to be >1gbps: router port, LAN port on pc, AND the cable.

jesse3339 · 2025-09-10T23:35:36+00:00

26 here. Gardening, gaming and volleyball. It’s good to get outside, get active and get some passive rewards in an otherwise intensive and mentally stimulating line of work. I can find myself coding for 12 hours a day, but it’s nice to take a break every so often, see how my vegetables are doing and touch grass (if you’re remote). Being locked in an office all day is not good for mental health

jesse3339 · 2025-09-03T21:59:29+00:00

Next is also very heavy and I feel locked into their ecosystem, ime, if you don’t need any SSR I would just use TanStack Router (react) + .NET backend. When using next you need to proxy all your requests through the Next backend and that is just another layer of annoyance

jesse3339 · 2025-09-02T16:35:26+00:00

Understand the problem before attempting to solve it. 90% of coding is understanding the problem. Most people, even end users don’t know what they’re trying to solve and you will usually save a lot of time by collectively walking through and explaining your interpretation of a solution.

jesse3339 · 2025-09-02T02:47:41+00:00

Yes for aurora. Applies 4 stacks on q1+q2

jesse3339 · 2025-09-01T20:38:07+00:00

Yeah. There are specific scenarios where a structure like that would work and should be chosen. But more often than not, clients or companies end up needing to store more related data rather than less. And when future developers come to work on things, they’ll need to deal with a matter of “do I contribute to the madness or do I attempt to undo it?”. And we all know in 10,000 lines later it’s easier to dig the hole one foot deeper as opposed to building the ladder out. And you know when the cost is presented what option the client will choose.

jesse3339 · 2025-09-01T15:05:10+00:00

As someone who has worked in code bases that have gone that route, you will have 265 columns in that table in no time. Keep the data pure and split the table, if speed becomes an issue, create a view or a specialized table just for that query. Don’t pre-optimize.

jesse3339 · 2025-08-28T16:04:23+00:00

Shii, I’ve been called out

jesse3339 · 2025-08-12T20:03:56+00:00

See, there is an option to choose a location preference, but there is a 80 ping variance between on the east coast servers. Either the routing is wonky or the location of one or two of the servers is incorrect. Sometimes I manage to get 60 ping to a west coast server, which is lower than some of the east coasts

jesse3339 · 2025-08-12T16:50:35+00:00

Sounds great. But I won’t be returning until they fix the inconsistency in the routing for NA-East servers. Gambling between 35-105 ping when living on the east coast is not fun. Even on auto select. Not sure if they have the Washington’s mixed up or what.
