@markjgsmith: "It’s one of the strangest things about writing software is that when you are creating something for the first time, it’s totally not obvious how it needs to be.
Then when you finally get it working the way it should be, you just can’t even remember how it wasn’t totally obvious." #
sahat/hackathon-starter - A boilerplate for Node.js web applications - I find it useful to checkout some of these boilerplate style repos occasionally to see the latest trendy services and techniques. I wouldn't necessarily use these outside of a hackathon context because you'll end up with a lot of unnecessary code for your use case. Still this looks on the surface to contain a lot of interesting node / javascript / css / 3rd party stuff. github.com #
Jamstack is dead, long live Jamstack! - This week's Bytes newsletter was all about the recent announcement of the demise of the popular webdev architecture / abstract feeling / lifestyle choice. There's something very interesting going on here. It's dead, but it's also quite not dead. In fact it seems to be somewhat benefitting from the recent turmoil's Streisand effect, and I'm ok with that. It feels like something cool might emerge from all this carfuffle. More jamstack stuff here here and here. And also this very pro dynamic database websites piece, which I mostly agree with too, authoring experience is currently very bad for Jamstack sites. bytes.dev #
