To me it seems obvious that code should be stored in a database rather than a hierarchical, text-based format. The main way we navigate and organize code is by folder hierarchies. Everyone has a different approach: by…

Like when you view a pull request on Github.com...

My ~/dev dir is a mess. Hundreds of cloned open-source projects. Work projects. Side-projects. And multiple worktrees for each repo. I'm thinking of building a cli + gui tool to manage all the code on my computer. I…

I'm bombarded by new AI stuff every day from so many different sources: HN, Twitter, Reddit, newsletters, blog posts, YouTube. I'm looking for a single place that places everything in context. Key people, companies,…

I realize I spend a lot of time organizing code into files and folders. And usually, it's organizing packages, modules, functions and classes into matching files/folders, and then updating package/module import…

Wallaby.js is a JavaScript tool that instruments your code, runs tests, and shows the values of variables inline in your text editor, and re-runs tests on file change. Does anything like this exist for Rust?

I often think back to how simple Backbone.js was. You could read the entire source code quite easily. Debugging was easy. It was so simple you could write it yourself in fact. A `View/Component` had a `model` property…

Plugin systems are hard to get right and hard to find the right balance. I was recently poking through Webpack's [tapable](https://github.com/webpack/tapable) which allows pretty immense customization albeit it's a…

I like to run while listening to podcasts. I like listening to tech talks that don't require watching slides. I'd like the content to be like the technical posts on HN. Or even an HN front-page summary podcast each day.…

The current trend appears to be towards server-side rendering on the edge with thinner clients. Think: React Server Components, Edge Workers, Next.js SSR, etc. The goal being faster page load times, and a reduction in…

I‘ve got some ideas for a new kind of database and want to run the concepts by some database folks. Where are the best places to discuss database design and internals?

Microsoft owns Github. Github maintains Electron. Microsoft are moving Teams to use WebView2, sharing a single Chromium instance for all apps, reducing memory usage, which is the most common complaint for Electron. This…

I feel like we need a database that is more integrated with the frontend. Typical web apps have client-side state management, then a graphql/rest layer with caching implemented on the frontend and backend, then some…

There are new tools and libraries popping up everyday that look to improve developer productivity/experience. For me, it's a manual process of scanning Twitter/Google/Podcasts/HackerNews/Reddit/Github Trending to stay…

I know [RethinkDB][1] used to do this with their SQL-like ReQL language, but I looked around a bit and can't find much else about it - and I would have thought it would be more common. I'm more interesting in queries…

Similar to how there are tools to [make slide decks from Markdown][1], is there something that would allow you to edit a video with Markdown or a similar syntax? I could only find something called [VEAML][2] so far.…

There are a few tools to split commits from sub-dirs to a branch which you can then push to a public repo/monorepo. E.g. `git subtree`, https://github.com/facebook/fbshipit, https://github.com/splitsh/lite,…

I feel like tooling for code reviews sucks and causes sub-optimal reviews. I feel like I'm held back from doing the reviews I want to do, or just finding them painful for fighting with tools. I use IntelliJ and Github.…

I'm from Australia. Looking at staying in London for a few months, checking out Tech City, networking, and doing a bit of work on my side projects.<p>I'd like to stay with entrepreneurs. Is there anything like the…
