Brian Bug 🐞

Processing a massive amount of data in parallel is oddly satisfying, when it's all working #buildinpublic

@NayakSatya_SG Be the change!

@thebrianbug Unfortunately it’s rare in today’s first paced world

Knowing your team has your back is priceless when you're feeling under the weather. Take care of your people #buildinpublic

TDD was never about test coverage It's all about design Test first => better design #buildinpublic

Nothing feels so 🪄 as to refactor after you have full test coverage. The magic test everything button 👌🫶 #buildinpublic

The moment of peace after deploying something big... and it's all working

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

No joke - going serverless helps you write better code 💡 Smaller functions for the win 🎉 #buildinpublic

ChatGPT is not good at mocking in unit tests. Why does it so often screw this up? 🤔

Wow, that code is crap Who wrote it? Oh! ...Me #buildinpublic

Onboarding new devs? Write READMEs: 1. To get code running locally 2. How to deploy everything 3. List @fireship_dev videos for each tech used #buildinpublic

Handling big files? Be aware of how many copies you're making in memory, or you may exceed limits faster than you're expecting #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 💪 #buildinpublic

@brtkvc Agreed! And they tend to last much longer without alteration than more centralized models

@thebrianbug Serverless can definitely have its challenges, but it's worth it for the scalability and flexibility #buildinpublic

People complain that serverless can be hard to debug If you think that's hard, try debugging servers #buildinpublic

Just found @amptdev and was blown away by the infrastructure building blocks they already offer. How have I not heard of this? #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
