Code review isn't a personal attack. It's about catching mistakes and spreading knowledge. Leave your ego at the door.

If you are a solo indie dev, pick the tools you know the best and stick with them. Don't pick the new stack to learn it while you build your startup. Sure recipe for abandoning the project at some point..

Good UX sometimes means removing features, not only adding. Satisfying user need with minimal UI clutter should be the goal. Apple is the best example for masses.

A senior engineer isn't the one who writes the fanciest code, it's the one who finds simple solutions to complex problems and helps others do the same.

Types serve as documentation too. When someone new reads your function signature in TypeScript, they know exactly what's expected.

I love how it’s fine to say "I don't know" in tech without any issues (mostly).It's just a product of the industry where there is so much to know and everything is moving so fast that you know only a small piece of it.I noticed in a lot of industries, "I don't know" is shyed from

100% test coverage (or near to it) is actually a bad sign. Aim for meaningful coverage: critical paths, tricky logic. It’s fine if some simple getters/setters aren’t tested.

As a founder, if you can’t describe your product without buzzwords, you probably don’t understand it either. Simplify your pitch.

For people who split API into hono/elysia/<random_server_flavor> instead of sticking it into their TanstackStart/NextJS/Remix app from the beginning, what is your main reason for doing it?
I lean not to do it until needed, but trying to figure out if should I support it in my boilerplate I'm making.

Accrue, startup I work in, is changing its Banking as a Service Platform and underlying Bank for the second time in its existence.. on a live system.. without hiccups for users and their money. How would you vibe code that ;)

Not using effect-ts in a typescript project is at a point equal to crippling yourself for no reason. You can add it incrementally, or in some places, just start.
