@supabase love the tools but the uptime has been questionable.

@supabase Putting a ton of well-explained example API queries in a self-building documentation is just a classy move all around. I also love having GraphQL-style nested queries with traditional SQL filtering. This is pure DX delight. A+++. #backend

Setting up any sort of cloud service in Google often feels like as little thought was put into DX as possible. Wading through endless menus just to get hamstrung on something that is almost always a fuckup on their end. Been like this forever.

Today's learning as centered around @supabase, and wowowow what a crazy amount of functionality. #backend

@selfteachme Superb work on the Keystone JS course with @LevelUpTuts. Learned everything I needed and up and and running in record time. #javascript #backend

It feels good to deliver an end product that is as simple and atomically deployable as possible given the scale of the project, ESPECIALLY when you know that you're the one that will be asked to maintain it in 5 years. #Backend

SQLite is a total revelation. I should have checked this out so much sooner.

Taking the opportunity to check out Caddy, an interesting and slick alternative to NGINX. Automatic SSL cert renew, extremely simply to configure and thus far is the perfect reverse proxy for a Svelte frontend server. Simplicity and security across the board.

Posted about this book yesterday, and happy to repeat: It has saved me a LOT of pain and time in deploying a production Elixir app. #ElixirLang

This is always a delightful read for #elixirlang topics as well as more general software development stuff. Get you some.

For my current project, I am sticking with the standard #elixirlang release sitting behind nginx on Digital Ocean. If you are working within similar parameters, these two books have been lifesavers for me: deploymentfromscratch.com/ miguelcoba.gumroad.com/l/dep…

Interacting with a properly working postgres database: fun and educational. Setting up a properly working postgres database: I want to find another career.

Svelte is great. Doing a new project with it, #elixirlang still on the backend. Functional back and reactive front is remarkably succinct and easy to reason about on all fronts.

I'm writing Emacs LISP to design a custom interface flow. 2 years ago this would have been 7D Chess for me. I would never had a hope in hell of understanding this without #elixirlang introducing me to functional thinking. "Empowering" would be a deep understatement.

I read this with rapt attention like I used to read fantasy novels. Graphics driver development on specialized hardware is fascinating and arcane: #programming collabora.com/news-and-blog/…

"Impostor syndrome:" The intimidating knowledge of other people in your field proves that there so many exciting things still to learn, and there's infinite potential yet to be discovered by fresh eyes. Your presence and ideas matter even if you're a "novice." #programming

tload -<auto-update-delay-in-seconds> and then fullscreen your terminal emulator. Pretty solid screensaver. #Linux

Finally made a dotfiles repo. After a while you get tired of redoing the same setup again and again for no real reason other than autopilot. #Linux
