Messy UI code, but not sure how to fix it? Study up on state management. The right pattern makes the complexity disappear ๐Ÿช„ #buildinpublic

Software has no prototypes. Whatever you code WILL be used in production. Do it right, or else #buildinpublic

Using serverless? Make sure to test with only a few items at a time. If things go wrong, you could end up with a VERY big bill ๐Ÿ˜ฌ #buildinpublic

Not sure why your DB query is taking SO long? You need Postgres EXPLAIN. Tells what the DB will for a given query. Then dump the results into ChatGPT for ideas for optimizing #buildinpublic

Breaking down code into serverless functions introduces new potential for network failures at each step. Utilize topics to link sequential serverless functions, without making earlier steps dependent on the availability of later ones ๐Ÿ’ช #buildinpublic

Regular devs can build pretty much anything these days, if given the right infrastructure primitives. But when something fundamental is missing, you get complexity explosions #buildinpublic
