This is incorrect.

You preface with PUBLIC_ to expose them in client side code.

Still OnlineOrNot (https://onlineornot.com/) - I've been working on adding more and more configurability to the browser checks feature.

More recently, I've made it so you can drop your existing playwright test suites into the code editor, and it'll Just Work.

A whole bunch more work to do around that, but I think letting folks drop code in makes more sense than continuously updating the UI.

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.

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

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'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.

Have you seen the price of RAM recently?

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.

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.

I recently rewrote my frontend's API from GraphQL to REST (I had a public API that was always behind on functionality - this approach forces me to keep it up to date), using Hono + Zod has been brilliant for creating types that my frontend can consume AND generate into OpenAPI specs/clients.

New comment by rozenmd in "Claude Code is your customer"

I get several folks per week claiming an ai/llm recommended them my product, while I personally wouldn't run a procurement process that way, some certainly do.

> Claude is never on the web reading documentation - as far as I can tell that's not even in its toolkit.

Add the Context7 and grep MCP servers to your installation, it'll change your life (well it'll make claude less dumb).
