Don't get me wrong, I love the web, and enjoy web development. But building your nth web app from scratch that has no users yet is mostly grunt work, apart from that one piece of secret sauce that's unique to your app.
I'm evaluating pyinfra in order to deploy TechTrack, my Hacker News client app.
pyinfra's documentation is still sparse, so I'm using DeepWiki, yet another AI tool, to get an overview of how the codebase is structured and what each major component does. DeepWiki looks very promising and provides an easy ramp when jumping into new codebases.
Check out both pyinfra and DeepWiki and tell me what you think!
4 years of Telecommunication Engineering from 2006 to 2010 was like: This semester, here are a bunch of subjects on how to transmit a piece of information reliably from one device to another over the Internet or mobile network.
Engineering Electromagnetics, Satellite Communication, Signals, Fourier Transforms, Wireless Communication, Fiber Optic Communication, Microwaves and Antennas, Computer Networking Part 1, Computer Networking Part 2 and so on.
After graduating, when I was about to get into web dev, I saw the buzzword "Ajax" in offline IT coaching institutes' banners during my commute everyday. So I allocated one month to "learn Ajax" without knowing what it meant.
2 weeks into learning JavaScript and web dev in early 2012, I read:
"Here’s a single function call to transmit data from the browser to the server without having to reload the page":
$.ajax('http://example.com', {some: 'data'}, {success: function() {console.log('yes'})
