And we're hiring! If your a junior to senior Rails dev hit me up. I'll be posting job descriptions, (including salaries!), and more about what we do soon but please reach out now if you're interested.

Crypto is yet another example of software developers choosing the new shiny over boring shit that works. This is the best article I've read on web3. https://t.co/BC2uw5AiTf

Been typing a lot of unnecessary slashes for a solid decade now, whoops

Even after all of this I'm not super confident in my setup and I'm pairing with another dev tomorrow to try and wrap my head around a few things and improve it.

I ended up bailing on WebPack and going to Rollup for bundling. I have a couple plugins for polyfills and transpiling .vue components. I would have used Vite but this project is using Vue2 so I have my own Rollup setup for development.

I've somehow spent the last 12 years as a JS developer and have never built a package for NPM! It was ridiculously confusing and filled with surprises around each corner.

"What exactly is IN a Javascript package and how do I build one?" An article I could have used 2 weeks ago before I started down the path of copy/paste from Stack Overflow until it works.

Side note: Building packages for JS is perhaps the suckiest thing I've ever done as a developer. It's unbelievable how bad that ecosystem is right now. I have empathy and respect for anyone and everyone who has deployed a package to NPM that actually works.

I said "never give up — YOLO!" and ejected from Vue-CLI (manually, they don't have a way to do this), and replaced it with Rollup and built/shipped my first package to NPM 5 hours later. Customer rescheduled for after the holidays. 😭

We needed our library published to NPM for a customer today. I worked all weekend and Monday to get it set up. 5pm yesterday discovered that my package built by Vue CLI would not work for this customer so...

I know I could just google this, plan to later, but meanwhile I'm staring at an opportunity I can't invest in just because I'm not rich enough.

Actual question: What's the history behind "Accredited Investors"? The only logic I can come up with is some paternalistic regulating body decided to protect the "poors" from themselves because they are dumb OR, more nefariously, rich people hoarding investment opportunities.

Everybody has a plan until they have 10 billion rows in their database.

After a long journey, we're a few weeks from onboarding our first beta users for our product: Refine for Laravel. Refine is a visual query builder for Laravel and Rails that gives your users infinite flexibility to find exactly what they're looking for. (Show here in Nova.)

Here she did a felt quilt of "pre-existing conditions"

I don't know anyone else that would be excited about mitochondria made of felt but this niche was really dialed in for me.

My new favorite piece of art: mitochondria made of felt. I still can't believe this exists! We also bought the Giardia Oocyst. Bought it at a little art fair. She has other felt body parts and weird things here https://t.co/yvbnrZ9HnY

I'm in this fantastic place for the moment where I wish I had more time in my day to spend on every single thing I've decided to fill my life with.

Anyone else out there enjoy learning by arguing?

Because they are copying google/facebook/netflix/whatever and they have way more platform investment need than the rest of us.

I think in one way what this thread is really saying is that small shops get the balance between the two wrong.
