I thought this might be an interesting read but was super put off to be greeted with a long screed moralizing over my choice of browser. I have 3 different browsers installed that use for various situations and reasons. Getting shamed by an internet stranger is not one of them.

Tools such as babel, webpack, esbuild, postcss, etc. are now considered a bit low-level, and usually do not need to be set up manually these days.

Rather, one would opt for something like vite, the spiritual successor to react-scripts, that bundles all of these tools together with some good defaults/plugins, a means to configure them, and usually also some kind of dev server with hot module reloading, for a complete developer experience using your preferred toolchain.

Check out 'parcel' for something pretty modern, universal, and low effort, IMHO.

Writing the GmailFS HOWTO, and fixing a bug in the process, was my first exposure to the power of OSS. Looking back, I'm pretty sure this is what led me to persue software engineering as a career!

I setup a double entry bookkeeping solution for my LLC that uses Amazon QLDB as a block chain ledger. Not sure if this really counts, but it seemed like a good use case for the tech. I used amazon-qldb-double-entry-sample-java as a starting point if anyone is curious.

Greetings HN,

I have been a professional contractor for the past 12+ years, and programming since I could reach a keyboard. This last year I've been grooming a business partner in order to make an attempt at moving up the value chain from "Software Engineer" to "Software Developer" (implying ownership of the results).

I believe we have developed a strong process, which puts a Lean spin on rigid PMI-style management. We describe it as moving slowly in the right direction over moving quickly in the wrong one.

We are looking to test this process of project management in the real world, possibly even for free, with early adopters willing to provide us quality feedback.

I apologise if this is seems spammy, or if this was not the right venue for this request.

Sincerely, ~ Constant Lurker, Occasional Poster
