@defang.io gives #software #developers that balance: deploy complex containerized projects without feeling like you need a whole #devops team to back you up.

I couldn't find that middleground of a tool that felt like it could handle the complexity of the projects I was deploying, without feeling like it was built for people operating at 1000x my scale.

On the flipside, the simpler container deployment tools always left me frustrated by the lack of functionality and going back to k8s.

I was rudely tricked by my university into learning #Java (and #programming more broadly) through @processing.org in 2008. But hey, that's basically the reason I'm in software now, so thanks @benfry.com and Casey Reas. Changed my life.

Always been a fan of #Django + #Postgres 💚

But I also use other stuff. I've been a big fan of #Hasura as well. And generally build with React on the frontend, though I've been experimenting with Svelte and Solid recently.

They're everywhere!

Glad to see this. I'm a fan. Did a demo at a conference and was surprised how many people didn't know DMR existed!

They're so finicky and the dx is bad. They still click with my brain better than nix, though!

And yes, my service did get worse (and I basically got conned into a contract I was furious about) when Rogers gobbled up Shaw. Thanks a lot to our snivelling, spineless, pathetic CRTC.

If it's something you want to run in a browser, probably the easiest starting point is writing an HTML document, adding a script tag in it, write your js in there, then open the file with your browser. Hopefully that's helpful!

Great! See you then!
