Jason Miller listed out a bunch of Application Holotype. You can go from an app holotype and choose technologies based on what you want to do.

  • Edge first

    • Deno
    • Global everywhere
    • Ryan Dahl is running with Remix
  • Meteor Minimongo

  • AWS AppSync DataStore

  • SQLite in the browser

  • Showing a tremendous amount of resources, need a link to this presentation to look back on.

  • async await has made async extremely simple to read and write.

    • removes callback hell
    • GH Actions fails a lot with scraping.
  • Orchestration with Temporal... it's a career

  • data engineer and data analyst are much more in-demand than FE/BE/FS devs

    • data can improve dx
  • TIOBE indexes

  • https://applyingml.com/papers

  • prompt engineering

  • shifting paradigms

    • standard vs reality
  • what is full stack?

    • traditional (front/back, 3 tier, etc)

    • lamp/mean/jam
    • 3tiers
    • osi layers
  • app holotypes

    • what are the sort of apps
  • examples of wow apps

    • arxiv-sanity example
      • additions to arxiv
        • keep track of recent papers
        • search
        • etc
      • turn website into app
    • some generalizations from arxiv-sanity
      • enrich data
      • validate existing data
      • personalize data
      • notify on new data
      • etc

      • why valuable
        • one click buy, counter 70% cart abandonement
      • lots of async tooling (eg. sideqik)
      • workflow orchestration (eg. temporal)
    • data
      • big data
      • data as moat
      • job posting growing faster than developers
      • ETL vs ELT
    • ai
