Am I stuck in tutorial heck?

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2023/09/12

Recently I quit my job as frontend development instructor and I'm aiming to get a job as frontend developer. Before I apply for job openings I'm planning to go through several courses, create complex projects for my portfolio and only then apply for the job. My friends are saying I'm overcomplicating the process and I may get into the flow after I got the work. But as I'm aiming at middle level positions, I want to prepare as much time, as much my budget allows. So I can negotiate salary

Scaling Epic-Stack in a single region

2023/09/12

Hi Kent, my name is Tim, I have a few questions regarding scaling the Epic Stack within a single region. With the assumption that we are having huge amount of users in one region, my question is would you recommend switching to other database technologies or would you have multiple SQLite replicas in the same region, with each of them being connected to remix apps in a 1-1 manner My second question is, assuming that we have the epic stack setup, what would you do if one remix server can't

Conform sets novalidate & validation attributes?

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2023/08/24

Hey, Kent! I'm trying out @conform-to/react, specifically the useForm hook. I noticed that it sets novalidate: true on the form even if JavaScript is disabled. I'm wondering: Why does it add validation attributes to the inputs then if they're not being used for validation anyway, regardless of whether JavaScript is enabled or not? Conform sets novalidate & validation attributes?

My skill stuck at current job, should I quit?

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2023/08/23

I have been in current team for couple years, and feel my skills are kind of stuck because I have spent too much time fighting with the team refusing to get better. I have learned only from myself, but not much from the others, and can't really fix everything by myself. Business and Engineering alignment My time has been spent inefficiently to be honest in the past few years because lots of the time I was staring at smelly and nonsense codes, trying to improve but never get the resource

Remix Full-Stack Components (vs Server Components)

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2023/07/13

With React Server Components getting more traction, this idea of each component being able to fetch its own data seems to getting more popular rather than data-fetching being purely route-based. In Remix-land, you’ve had a talk about “full-stack components” with a similar concept where a “resource route” can have no default exports but still export a loader and a React component in order to have a reusable component with its own data fetching. It seems there might be differences between

How To Deal with Hiring Developers?

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2023/06/16

I have to manage my projects and outsource them, otherwise, I would never make enough money to keep my business afloat. I have this problem, where, when I start a project, the product owner will ask questions like, "What happens if you die?" and my best answer to that is, "That's why we have employees".
