   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

   🏁 Competitors: Medium

   👍 Pros:    Free

   👎 Cons:    Social justice|Basic features|Quality of content

• Engineering a FLEXIBLE, cross-platform Flutter App

  You are right. It would be a nightmare to maintain 50+ versions, store deployments etc manually. But you really don't have to. One of the benefits of using CI/CD tools is easily automating those task for you. There are commercial CI/CD tools out there that are specific for flutter apps. Codemagic and bitrise are two of them.

• Your first Fitz LiveViews component, twice: SSR and WASM from one source

  In part 1 I made the pitch: real-time UI in one language, no JavaScript build. Now let's build something and ship it two ways from the same source. - Source: dev.to / 6 days ago

• Domain Search to Render: How the web works behind the scenes

  To think that all of this happens under the hood when I’m just trying to access YouTube to listen to my favorite music playlists to go through the day is insane! It all happens so quickly… to think that all eleven of these steps occur instantly when I was first entering a website like https://dev.to, for instance, is mind-blowing. - Source: dev.to / 11 days ago

• Enjoy the Bubble While It Lasts: The Secret Behind Your AI Bill

  And keep an exit. This is the argument I made about small models from a different angle: the same task that costs $14,000/month at frontier scale often costs approximately nothing on a 4B model running on your own hardware. Not for everything - for the long tail of focused, repetitive work that makes up most of what we actually automate. Knowing which of your workflows would survive a 10x price increase is cheap... - Source: dev.to / 15 days ago
