Self-hosted jira is prone to death by a thousand cuts making it a much worse alternative to the hosted version.

I always thought highly of the approach used by https://www.npmjs.com/package/@strong-config/node

Does dotenvx support secrets managers?

That should not stop you from trying it out.

Do everything you can to introduce TS incrementally. JSDoc simply isn’t enough.

  - The typical mom & pop business: Squarespace
  - Any company without in-house technical leadership: Wordpress + Simply Static
  - Any engineering-focused company: Sanity

These recommendations account for common requirements each tier of company typically has

(i.e. long-term maintenance, hiring, and technical features like internationalization)

> Most companies don't have interesting FE work

While true, I think it's a bit more nuanced than that.

The most attractive companies have at least 2 of 3 qualities that make front-end work significantly easier:

  - engineering permission to use sensible tooling (typescript, openapi type generation, etc)
  - strong / focused product team (stable roadmap for project requirements)
  - modern ux designers (able to design a component library & can easily communicate changes (Figma))

I've noticed that companies that get this right tend to have healthier work cultures & deliver on expectations without stress.

Companies that don't tend to have front-end work defined by a sense of impermanence, lingering technical debt, and pain.

When you see different static site generators in the wild, most people want:

  - api for creating pages from remote data
  - developer experience
  - build speed

But if you plan on using a headless CMS, your must prioritize decoupling the authoring from build times.

Your marketing team needs instant feedback, your options are now:

  - use client side rendering for page previews. (i.e. use a js-based framework)
  - containerize your project & run the framework's dev mode as a preview server (i.e. you might as well have not used a SSG)

Much of my walking is as my friend Rebecca once described it: A pantomime undertaken to avoid the choreography of criminality. Most black children in America receive the “talk” early on. It teaches that our skin color bears a stigma & that as individuals, we must learn to manage fear directed to us by society or perish.

It’s not a lesson that sinks in until you experience it but some young men only get a single chance in practice.

And these situations will come:

  - being miscast as the villain by a stranger with a hero complex 

  - a neighbor reports you as vagrant that “doesn’t belong here”

  - matching a generic description of a random suspect (white t-shirt and jeans)

  - a late night traffic stop with a visibly nervous police officer

Even during these rather tame scenarios, there is no room for hesitation. You put on your best acting face and try making strangers comfortable with your existence.

You listed groups that have historically:

- have been purveyors, not victims, of discrimination within USA

- introduced extreme polarization to mass media & political discourse

- controlled enough political power to push their beliefs on the majority through law since the inception of this country

I wonder if “center of X” voices have ever wondered _why_ their opinions aren’t well received outside of their bubbles.

Possibly but Twitter’s ownership won’t help with any of that.

I hope you can understand why common media did not amplify Duncan Lemp's voice - as he had prior intent to harm police and was co-opted as a symbol for extremist right-wing groups. [0]

You will find very little support for no-knock raids but with the circumstances related to their deaths[0], comparing Duncan Lemp to Breonna Taylor is a disingenuous tu quoque.

Large production instances of Next.js tend to rely on server-side rendering almost exclusively. Paired with react-query + cached api/Redis, you get short build times and a fast user experience (Remix has a very similar approach as well).

Gatsby is also a great static site generator. Most sites render with JavaScript disabled + the framework provides some of the best tools to create increase Lighthouse scores. It's only weakness is the build speed once you pass +100 pages.

That said, the primary issues around static site generators are:

1. Build speeds - (choose Hugo, Zola, Eleventy.js)

2. Creating pages from external data - (choose Next.js, Eleventy.js, Gatsby)

3. Real-time previews - (requires work but most JS-based frameworks can do this without issue)

4. Ease of use - (choose Jekyll)

Hugo and Zola are fantastic static site generators but if your requirements

include building static pages based on an api response, Eleventy.js has first class support.

If you avoid saturated fats, the remaining unprocessed foods tend to have significantly less calories - making this something of a non-issue for most people seeking to lose weight.

Brian essentially calls the agencies incompetent, steals a concept from an agency that wasn’t hired, and minimizes the contributions of the agency was hired.

That’s disrespect worth being addressed.
