It's a good question.
Since they disabled the automatic deployment it has been causing some issues and I'm revalidating using Heroku.
The main reason is the ease of use
Wow, how can a system be designed like this?
There is no warning or notification when creating a new account, the old account just goes to 'limbo' mode...
I still get notifications on my phone from the logged in account, but when trying to access it's asking for phone verification, which obviously doesn't work because there is no phone number tied to the account!
Web developer (React ecosystem)
Macbook Pro M1 PRO, 16gb/1tb (I wanted to buy 32gb/1000tb but it was either or)
1. More quiet and less hot than any previous intel macs I have used
2. Nothing missing, there was some discussion in earlier project where some fork/similar of Kubernetes wouldn't work
3. see previous, should be ok; running atm Docker. but i would google your frameworks and see if compatibility issues
4. I would go for 32gb/1tb if it is an option, otherwise 16gb is ok - I haven't felt the need for more (running parallels, some vms, docker, ide, chrome,firefox,safari, chat progrems (discord,slack,other), etc)
Still, nothing compares even remotely to my windows PC at home (32gb ram, m2ssd, i9) - it is so responsive that any mac feels sluggish and slow; but I think this could be because windows prioritises UI processes? Everything feels instant compared to mac (x ms delay opening anything etc)
One of my first touches to web development was to write a small web application and to deploy it Heroku.
Seeing my app live on Heroku made a really lasting effect, and now several years later I am still using Heroku (paid) and I am very happy client.
But -
If Heroku didn't have a free tier then, I wouldn't probably have tried Heroku, maybe even knew what Heroku is
From my (client, paid) perspective, this seems very weird move, although maybe needed to save in costs; but maybe an approach like GitLab where you deprecate unused projects would work better?
Only reason I use Spotify (Premium = no ads) is that I don't have to manage my music anymore and I can find all the music I need / want. But holy moly it is going towards a bad direction, in fact so bad that I am considering moving to Apple Music...
Their desktop app used to have a "search bar" in their Home -view which is now moved to a separate "Search" -view, which is.. one of the most annoying things ever.
I used to boot up Spotify, hit ctrl+f, type the playlist or artist I was looking for and click.
A year using IntelliJ for React/Node and still trying to find my way around the IDE (IntelliJ).
It seems powerful as is, but I feel like I'm not using it to the full extent
I have always wanted to learn Org Mode, but at the same time I have been trying to learn emacs (spacemacs) and this has been a bit complex and my interested has fallen quickly.
Any ideas or resources on learning org mode? Can it be used with ex. IntelliJ? Should I learn first plain emacs then orgmode? Or should I look into other note taking tools
I was about to, but I have some issues with battery life and charger plug, so it would be cheaper to buy a lower end iPhone (like the 12 mini) - so I am in a slight dilemma now.
Most likely if this phones battery gets any worse, I will upgrade to the new iPhone 12 max (or current flag ship) and hope it will last years to come. My iPhone is I think now 5 years old, where the average phone life seems to be 2-3 years, so I am quite happy with the quality and don't mind the upgrade, when it is necessary
This is pretty much my exact situation. The new iPhones have been so underwhelming and so highly priced that I haven't felt the need or want to upgrade.
Now previously this year, I dropped my phone and the glass broke - but it still works. So I am on the verge of upgrading, but iPhone 12 still doesn't really... make me want to upgrade - if I can put it like that.
So I am rolling with a cracked screen iPhone 6S+ until I can find the motivation to upgrade. Maybe my battery life is becoming one and the problem with charging.
Well, I have seen quite many phishing pages and scams, and this was not that low effort scam - probably setting up all the domains and phishing pages etc has taken a bit of work and technical skills
Just wanted to give a shoutout to Netlify, great free tier and very easy to use
