May I ask what is the proper way to store Terraform state. We are currently testing out Terraform at my job and it just uses a s3 bucket with exception turned on. Thanks

Not at the moment but I think that's the company plan. As for any company wide changes.. Yes for Frontend I have. It was the introduction and process/flow of using Storybook for our projects. This was about a 1.5yrs ago and we have been using it on projects ever since. The next was standardizing our web projects on using Next.js. This included creating the infrastructure and flow to deploy within AWS. Nothing really on best practices for structuring/building components, atleast not company wide mostly just within my own teams.

Some other things that I started to put in place that have been spread out to other teams where the whole Dev review/QA loop (PR, branching structure, commit writing/linting etc)

Funny enough I ran into this exact use case recently. We have a marketing site for a client done with webflow..But we needed to add a third party widget that only had an react library. So I ended up creating a CRA project so that I could include the bundled file and render the component as needed using the same setup (it was a modal + some purchase logic). Added some bare js hooks to trigger some of the logic via a button press. Worked well actually

The Mac address part stood out to me, has something changed over the year that made changing Mac addresses more complex?

Back in college our school had some limitations on the internal networks in our dorms. After doing my normal stuff (you know mega downloading,ftp, limewire etc) my net stopped working. Come to find out they had a bandwidth monitor and would just block you for some time if you used too much and had to contact tech support, even for simple things like window updates.

Anyways, somehow I found out I could tweak some net configs in the registry. So here I randomly change some dword value to change my Mac address. I finally got back online and just forgot about it.

A few days later I came back to my room after classes, my roommate told me the school officers raided the room trying to get on my PC. I went to the student dean's office and come to find out I took net access from I think the president and they tracked it to my PC ... Some luck I say lol .. Tech support said that there was no possible way I could change my Mac address after a bit back and forth I decided to just agree with him.

O yeah and they had like a 200-300 page printout of irc chatlogs ,there was more stuff but I'll end it there.

Needless to say my net access was blocked for a year even tho I had a work study job with the webdev department. It didn't stop me though, I ended up running a long cat5 cable from the dorm next door. Fun times.

Yeah we have a few components we are using across projects and are going to start expanding that out throughout our stack.

We have been evaluating how to scale our company (software agency) to be able to quickly build out mvps for some of our projects. The topic of no-code has come up and the one product named Unqork[1] has been mentioned to us. Has anyone had success with these solutions, if so what type of projects have this no-code paradigm excelled at?

I assume this is what the SonosTube[1] app does. It's pretty nice

Went to the highschool right next to them. We all thought the same, that the area would be a hub for Tech. Sadly nothing every came from it.

In these cases wouldn't it have been to work on it slowly as a "side project" outside of the team normal priorities? I always tell my team if they can fit it in and not hinder the current sprint by all means go ahead and do it on the side.

I know this goes against the normal and people want to attach "right now " value (hours it took reflected on check) but going beyond the call can also give you leverage when your yearly review comes up for example.
