In my early career, I used to believe in doing whatever it took to stay with a company, becoming emotionally invested in every line of code and system I developed. However, after a few negative experiences with bosses who didn't treat me well, I came to realize a few things:
- My code is disposable, and I should not become overly attached to it
- Loyalty should be mutual and based on a healthy relationship where both parties are willing to invest
I've been using Hono + Bun + SQLite for all my personal projects, and I really like it. Essentially, I've replaced Express and Node with it. What I appreciate the most is how quickly I can set up a project with Bun, have native SQLite connector, and how minimal the Hono base app is. Additionally, I can use JSX without any setup hassle.
