no, app is like living organism in comparison to movie. every great app today will be broken if not changed. movie? you will be able to watch today and later. even 10M viewers at same time? movie will be the same. app? it would be drastically different 1 vs 10M active users.

Some users said otelic.com was loading a bit slow. Moved it from Caddy setup to S3 + AWS CDN. Speed should be increased 4x now for some users 🎉 How quick does it load for you now? 👀 otelic.com is it snappy fast? #buildinpublic #nodejs #cdn #caddy #aws #s3

on focus/blur layout shifts, it should not. it's visual noise from UX perspective.

left macbook air outside and was doing really well for ±2h straight with r1, i have -8C outside now, i took it back home slightly warm. So only issue with it is cooling really.

Ok, deepseek-r1 8B is capable, but in comparison to llama3.2 8B eating way more resources. Fun though it can still run on macbook air m1 16gb 😅

$12.13 is not $100k what others experience :)) serverless & self-scaling managed solutions can handle spikes of traffic and will gladly do so... and then surprise... invoice $$$ 😅 that's why while building otelic.com made pre-paid instead.

this: app.otelic.com while password-based login is less secure and it needs 2fa to make it secure, login through magic link is my preferred way or social login, so password, 2fa and confirmation is handled by 3rd party.

tech don't need to think or feel like human, tech can execute like machine. people try to hype on AGI as clone of human. But machines are used not because ability feel or have emotions. machines are there to execute things which humans don't want to execute. 2025 going to be an interesting year.

long-tail always there, yet there is always just 1% or <1% where all eyes are. I wonder how development will look once ai tooling will become norm for masses not only early-adopters. Will ai-agents will win? Something else? #buildinpublic #ai

that's true, though e.g. when one-page-apps became a thing there were tens of frameworks, but now most use only 2 - react/angular. market creates things, 4-5yr later we left with best one or 2

It's interesting to watch how covid was needed to realise many things can be done remotely, and now AI is needed to understand many things can be automated. #automation #business #development

Dev ai tools will be opinionated so could be juniors will be actually less overwhelmed by choices vs what they have to experience today. Thoughts? #devlife #learntocode #100days #dev #buildinpublic #webdevelopment #web #development #javascript

Lukas Liesis - Elite Software Engineer for Founders @otelic.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Tomorrow’s junior will use ai things as current juniors use boilerplates and tutorials of some kind. Tech always go in these cycles. Today’s junior is tomorrow’s boilerplate. thoughts? 🤔 #dev #junior #learningtocode #code #ai #devlife

slicing time while working remotely is key to productivity. If you try multitask, that probably won't end well. But keeping timer and focus on one thing at a time is key. Remote work allows to spend more time on productivity vs commute, but requires more accountability too. #buildinpublic

So...... OpenAI debuts O3 model. Any good? 👀 Recently stopped my opneai subscription to test out Gemini 😅 #openai

I think whatever you pick, need to focus on it and go deeper then average to penetrate. Agree?

Jobs will be lost and replaced by more interesting ones. Just like now we have TypeScript, AI, range of databases and other things. #devlife #ai #100daysofcode #developer #webtech #tech #nodejs #learning #saas

The easier it is to build the basics, the more stuff people want to build on top of it. #AI is here changing all the industries, imo what will happen is mainstream now will be "basics" and we will start building next level of abstraction. #devlife #ai #100daysofcode #developer #webtech #tech #node

Now kind of every app is big-data app with tons of expectations. Back then if you have a simple table with some data and you can use it instead of excel or paper was already great. #devlife #ai #100daysofcode #developer #webtech #tech #nodejs #learning #saas

20yr ago back in school, i started coding. Now we have so many things. Back then the web was literally #PHP + #MySQL + #HTML. So sure information was harder to get, but amount of info was way less too. #devlife #ai #100daysofcode #developer #webtech #tech #nodejs #learning #saas

it depends what you will talk to. some devs say traces is all you need, some say logs are only needed, some stay somewhere in between. i had conversations with all level of exp and it's really depends person to person. traces getting more attention recently while it's more available now

Just found the missing index on API, running otelic.com traces even on local #nodejs app, so can find exactly what's the bottleneck in no time. Want too? Check otelic.com #juniordev #devlife #100daysofcode #dev #nodejs #expressjs #fastify #webdeveloper #developer #javascript #typescript #backend

GCP is designed for corporate with all kind of specific requirements and also more for logs processing rather live debugging, it’s just different
