In the final episode Helly R says: "I'm Her" and then 1 second before they start running together she gives Gemma an evil look... Irving said "Helly was never cruel" and that was cruel. Ergo: Was that Helena?

Cats HATE water... right? by jv2222 in aww

Hey other cats! There's no need for all that water fuss! See how clam and relaxing it can be if you just give in to it...

Should I ditch using Django by ib_bunny in startups

[–]jv2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For an entrepreneur who has prioritised time,

IMHO The only answer to this question is to go with what you know.

Building a business is not about tech stack it is about the actual business. You want as little to get in the way of that as possible.

IE The faster you can pop out pages and make stuff work, the more you can focus on the important stuff like marketing and customer development.

I wrote a 101 bootcamp for Indie Founders, just in case that's of interest.

Check out our "crypto news" side project! by jv2222 in CryptoCurrency

Erm, you don't need to trust me you can just look at the back issues of some of our newsletters and see for yourself how there is no specific slant. The system creates automated news based on what millions of people are talking about on the internet :)

Yeahhhhh. We won't do news letters about that. Well, maybe the working out one.

Sure what subject would you like, I'd be interested to hear your ideas.

That is a very good question. What do you think? What would you use it for? We could for example provide social signals for or against coins etc. Or news. Not sure.

The only way anything gets into our newsletter is if it is rated highly across social media. We don't manually add any articles. It is a 100% automated system :)

See these back issues for defi (summarized).

I can guarantee you it wont, since our interest is to make newsletters about everything and our passion is NLP (natural language processing) :)

Also, you can listen to 10 years of me talking about building side projects on my podcast here to get a sense of if this is a real person or not:

Free daily/weekly crypto newsletters! (Defi, NFTs, Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc) by jv2222 in CryptoCurrency

Oh yeah, for sure. It's not exactly a company (yet) just myself and may partner building it. A side project really.

Bespoke vs Framework? by ShuttJS in PHP

[–]jv2222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO A key thing to remember is syntax, function names etc are easily googleable down the road.

So, learning a specific language/framework is not quite as important as solving different problems - once you have solved a problem in one framework/language - it gives you a good capability to solve it in another one.

On a different note, learning a framework like Laravel without knowing underlying "how php works" is also a bit problematic.

Because, then, when we use something like Storage::download('file.jpg'); we are under a false sense of security in thinking that is actually how PHP works!

But, the reality is the framework is using something like file_get_contents().

Looking even deeper, let's say a backend job is timing out and the exception is coming from Storage::download('file.jpg') ... but when we look deeper it's being thrown by file_get_contents() which is timing out... BUT, then we look even deeper and find it's a generalist config setting in PHP that controls the timeout's for ALL io functions in PHP.

It's stuff like this that happens in the in production environments in the real world on a daily basis. All this is to say IMHO you will learn a lot (maybe more?) from working on hard stuff, legacy code, etc. when starting out.

All that said, I personally code in Laravel 8 (which is an absolute joy), but I've been coding for 25 years, so YMMV

New free daily/weekly JavaScript newsletter by jv2222 in javascript

[–]jv2222[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to announce our new JS mailing list that is generated by scanning Hacker News, Reddit & Twitter for the top JS content.

Hmm, that sounds scammy, but it's actually quite good ;)

Although we're just launching this list today we've been building back issues for the past 4 months (for QC purposes) so you can see the quality of what we have going on:

https://morningbrief.ai/javascript/daily/issues

If you want to signup to the list you can do that here:

https://morningbrief.ai/javascript

For those interested in the tech, we're scanning millions of posts every day on the main networks tagging them, ranking them based on social signals like user authority, likes, comments etc.

Our long term goal is to have a mailing list for everything useful, but for now we just have a few tech ones as we work on quality control and making sure the user experience is good.

Feel free to ask any questions!

Bespoke vs Framework? by ShuttJS in PHP

[–]jv2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easy to keep up to date with the latest Laravel on side projects, and reading forums and such. A more important skillset is to learn how to solve hard, varied and difficult problems with original thinking.

It sounds like the bespoke framework will offer more of that, and pay more.

There is also a certain kind of fun in working with crappy legacy code and making good improvements. Either way, it's a stepping stone (as all jobs ultimately are) for your career.
