It's #Hacktoberfest2022 already... can't hardly believe it! I'm still working on the project I started last year with the intent of having an easy to get started NodeJS MERN stack app. UI/UX, Server, DevOps, all the things. Happy to help anyone who wants to get involved or learn
Happy #Hacktoberfest! I started a new project a few days ago with the intent to make it easy to get started. It's a simple MERN stack app dashboard. Plenty to help with on all layers, whatever you're comfortable with. github.com/burtonr/app-dash

Looking for opinions: Is the @system76 Launch keyboard worth it? I've been using a DasKeyboard for a few years. Thinking of upgrading and changing to the new Launch Heavy, but it's about $100 more... Thoughts?

Are you wondering about the resources required for K0s vs K3s vs Microk8s? We've deployed 3x VMs, each with 1 CPU + 1GB RAM to represent a constrained node, typical in Edge environments ... and compared their resource consumption. bit.ly/3OoVoRH #iot #kubernetes

Fitting correlation of Luke's journey and average* developer's journey. Learn some basics. Enough to move rocks, or deploy a container. Stop training, or close the tutorial. Fight the big bad, or tell the team "Kubernetes will solve our problem"

True story! Sometimes, the issues that remain open are easy, but the maintainers don't have the time. Someone new to OSS could easily jump in and help out

Nobody asked, but I've been listening to @parkwayofficial "Darker Still" on repeat this whole week Glitch and Imperial Heretic are killer tracks
Super cool style of tutorial learning resource by @MongoDB for their Atlas $search functionality here: atlassearchrestaurants.com/ and atlassearchsoccer.com/ Thank you @YouOldMaid!

Interactive live behind-the-scenes look at a MongoDB query as you click and enter search terms to see the various features at play in both a UI and backend query
Nicely put, clear and concise, explanation of what a container is, and is not.

I think one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves in IT/tech is that we need to prepare for "scale" of traffic. Generally speaking 99% of apps never break 1000 rps. Even with that you can likely serve millions of active users in a month. 1/

This is an awesome "black-magic" use for those wireless LEDs!
Build some maracas with wireless LEDs acting as both the visual and aural component. You can use them as a fun prop at a concert or add them to your experimental, DIY percussion instrument collection. Learn guide: learn.adafruit.com/wireless-… youtube.com/shorts/PQR2EQRyU…
YAGNI. Also, make it work first, then add the flexibility as it becomes needed (easier said than done...)
Unpopular opinion - striving for too much flexibility and clean architectures in code, more often than not leads to an overly complex codebase that rarely takes advantage of the supposed benefits.
