Wow! That page has the best styling ever! No fuff, no SPA, no colors, nothing! Just text and straight to the point!

Still rough around the edges on mobile. Too much margin on the right, and code blocks appear tiny.

I'm really happy and productive with Django, DRF, React, React Router, and React Query.

Mostly I just use Django alone with nothing on top, not even a frontend framework.

Django rest framework is really great, there’s a bit of a learning curve learning about the viewsets and how permission classes work and things like that, but once you get over that hurdle its so easy to make REST APIs that just hook up so cleanly to models.

I implemented a few custom authentication classes for things like group permissions on read / write for shared projects internally and just hooking this all up means I can write huge new modules that “just” slot in, in just a few hours. IMO they have the abstraction layers just right, it makes me really productive.

Where do you deploy for compute/storage? What about needing additional workers? How do you replicate your prod env in dev?

I was actually thinking of trying React Native, but for some reason local people prefer Flutter for some reason, any noticable differences between the two? Or should I just go with RN & Expo?

i think flutter is newer and less popular. the real benefit is expo which makes deploying the apps to google/apple stores very simple.

That sounds hopeful, thanks!

Both of them don’t support Iraq, unfortunately.

The networks are already overloaded, introducing a VPN into the mix might even make them unusable for some people!

Unfortunately, this is a tragic situation.

This really resonates with me!

I haven't received any holidays so far!

To be fair I haven't asked for one.

well then maybe that's why. Your brain is just telling you it needs to breath a little.

I live in a developing country, meaning, finding a local Software Engineering job that pays well is impossible. This leaves me with remote work, and most companies don't want to hire an employee from my country.

Finding my current employer was actually a great hit of luck TBH!
