@kettanaito From my understanding enabling the keep alive option will re-use the socket for requests to the same host/port. However, it’s dependent on the servers keep-alive timeout too. Also, just seen that the docs for request.reusedSocket says that the underlying socket MIGHT be re-used

Does anybody have an actual example of reusing the same Socket instance for multiple HTTP requests in Node.js? That's allowed per docs but I cannot find a single example out there. Is it a matter of setting "keepAlive: true" on http.request/http.Agent? That didn't work in my testing but I'm certain I'm doing something wrong.

SOLID principle is one of the most important design principles in OOP languages like Java, Python, C#, etc. Sadly, most of the programmers find it super difficult to understand. Here's the simplest guide to understand SOLID principles:

When the project is not ready, but the client wants a demo

Data structures and algorithms are important for any software developer. Sometimes loved, more often dreaded, but at the core of our craft. Here is an introduction to the most important data structures, including learning resources. A thread. ↓

@Nimbus7C0 I was in a similar pos. I was a physio before and on a good wage. I took over a 50% pay cut initially. I just made sure I saved up as much as I could to use as a buffer. After one year I was just shy of what I earned as a physio... and now (3 years later), I earn more.

@jrdev_ I'm 37 with a family, biggest barrier for me is to start from the bottom pay-wise, I'm a cloud architect so have some useful skills (infra/security etc.) - how have other people managed income when transitioning to a dev job?

"Am I too old to become a developer?" It took me 18 months from when I started learning to get my first job. I've asked a few people and it seems to take people on average 1-3 years. So, no, if you are 30, 40 or 50 years old, you are not too old to become a dev.

I get married today!!! 😬

@CharlesDeBarros Say "customer" one more time

Your customer is not your customer. Your customers customer is your customer. If your customers customer wins, your customer wins, which means you win.

📚 I've read many technical books during my career as a software engineer. So, people often ask me for book recommendations. This is a thread about the most common recommendations that I give (grouped in 5 knowledge areas) 🧵👇

Why have I only just discovered the "git worktree" command!?! If you're not familiar with it, check it out!
