A CV that tells me what you did, and what benefit it had to your employer.

I'm only impressed by side projects if they had users and/or MRR - something serious that proves you worked on it long enough to have something to show for your efforts

At the same time I wouldn't skip a candidate for not having a portfolio - a full time job is enough


This is the perfect use of cloudflare containers. Rare, bursty workloads that fit around regular use of Workers.

I use them to generate thumbnails when uploading large photo files for my personal flickr clone, not even noticeable in billing.


that makes sense, it's not 1.0 yet


I've been celebrating five years of working on OnlineOrNot (https://onlineornot.com/) by adding more features for teams that build software:

- 2FA, PassKey, and password-based login for folks that hate magic links

- Moved my entire API from GraphQL to REST so I can fully dogfood the API I offer

- Added an audit log as standard on all plans

- Built a terraform provider (https://github.com/OnlineOrNot/terraform-provider-onlineorno...), and a way to download existing config into terraform files

- Started iterating on a CLI (https://github.com/OnlineOrNot/onlineornot)


I'm hoping to soon start beta testing of a similar SaaS. Just wanted to say that you and your business are a huge inspiration for me.


I'd be terrified to run anything other than a classic web server on Hetzner, have heard too many stories of them arbitrarily terminating workloads they didn't understand.


really? like what? Maybe crypto mining?


I've gotten notices from Hetzner for hosting IPFS node, apparently it does some local network discovery by default which looks like a malware when you squint hard enough.


apparently too many outbound requests is enough to get on their radar


Have you seen the price of RAM recently?


AFAIK, it's been stabilizing lately at the current price, so at least it's not increasing anymore: https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/

By the same time next year the prices likely gone down, although maybe not to the pre-increase, but surely much lower than currently. Putting it in my calendar to revisit this comment in a year :)


Stabilized at 5x (or more), a change that occurred over like 3mo.

Grocery prices have also stabilized but I’m still paying too much ha


Well, if all the doomers and gloomers were correct that this is the end of hardware at home, we'd see the price continue to increase, and suppliers trying to ramp up production, even if it'd take long time.

The fact that it stabilized (at whatever price) and that suppliers aren't even thinking about ramping up production, should tell people that the doomers and gloomers were yet again over-reacting to things they don't fully understand themselves.

> Grocery prices have also stabilized but I’m still paying too much

I think that's a local problem, if you happen to live in a country that's trying to move over to isolationism rather than globalism as of late. In other modern countries the prices are also increasing, but at least following inflation somewhat so the increase doesn't seem as bad for us. Maybe at least yet? Who knows.


> Well, if all the doomers and gloomers were correct that this is the end of hardware at home, we'd see the price continue to increase, and suppliers trying to ramp up production, even if it'd take long time.

Ramping up production takes months and paying back the price to ramp up production takes years. Manufacturers have started investing in more production capacity but it'll take a while before supply can be sold off.

Based on interviews with industry professionals, I believe the forecast is that RAM prices will start going down again between August and the end of next year. Until then, prices will climb as stock depletes and RAM production is capped.


> Manufacturers have started investing in more production capacity

Where are you getting this from? Because that's not what I've seen, if anything the industry seems to lowering the production capacity, not increasing it.

And even if it takes years, if they thought it was a sustainable growth in demand, they'd at least be moving in that direction which again, doesn't seem to be happening.

> I believe the forecast is that RAM prices will start going down again between August and the end of next year. Until then, prices will climb as stock depletes and RAM production is capped.

You're already wrong with this today, prices stopped climbing already and have been stabilizing at the current prices... https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/


That is a mere short-term growth plateau as buyers curtail back spending - which has already happened twice - not true stabilization. Analyst firms like Trendforce expect 15-20% more increase well into end of Q2/Q3.

Smart money says by Jan 2026 ram prices will not be anywhere near where they were 6mo ago, but we’ll see I suppose.


You can't get a hackable watch for a fraction of the price, though.

I'd pay more for being able to fumble about in the codebase and add exactly what I want.


I wouldn't put in the same league as pebble, but it definitely ticks the boxes:

Battery life is real.


Ticks the boxes, but not the buttons. :-(


https://pine64.org/devices/pinetime/ is $27, which is a small fraction of the cost of a Pebble.

It was just a link to that same Watchy I have mentioned elsewhere. Check the link in my original reply for a list of multiple ones.


Most engineers I know are now picking off backlog items and tech debt //TODOs dating back several years.

Things that I had labelled "too hard, pain in the ass" I'm now finishing in half an hour or so with proper tests and everything.

It's an exciting time to be a product engineer IMO.


Yeah I've been seeing a lot of 500 errors myself, latency seems to have spiked too: https://github.onlineornot.com/


Twitter, still.

Despite several attempts to move off, the center of gravity is still there.
