All you folks are crazy not to unit test personal projects. Unit tests don’t need to be fancy and exhaustive. A sanity check and having a simple way to execute isolated code is well worth the 15 minutes of setting it up. Heck, just use them as scratch files to try out libraries and APIs. I can’t imagine having the kind of time to raw-dog that f12 button and sifting through print() nonsense all night.

Access Control

A single race condition is a tragedy. A million race conditions is eventual consistency.

Man, micro-services really could mean anything…

What I love most about Krazam is that in every video they make, you see the guy move up the usual tech career ladder xD

It’s difficult problem to solve. Lemmy’s stack is a bit unconventional. The rust backend is not idiomatic and the ui is based off a template of an isomorphic not-quite-react framework. Its not impossible, but it will take a while for alot of programmers come onboard.

That being said, there’s more to it than writing code. Better bug reports, reproduction, updating docs and triaging/managing the issues is possibly more important than writing PRs. Don’t be discouraged!

Hey! Why don’t you try to build a basic github action from scratch and deploy it 40 times before it’s green, waiting 10 minutes between builds to discover how each task creatively interprets directory path notation!
