Are there any #informationarchitects or #ux designers in my network here that could consult with me on improving the IA of the Node.js Learn section? At the recent Collab Summit in Dublin, we discussed the need to refactor our linear journey. Matteo Collina got the ball rolling, which we are tracking at https://lnkd.in/g4UhiMVV My instincts as an once-proficient-now-amateur UX practitioner are as follows: - inventory the content - think through a card sort strategy, from maintainers, BUT ALSO, users - re-org easy wins - identify gaps, breakout issues - recruit writers to help fill in gaps - testing??? This is another great example of the multi-disciplinary work an open source project benefits from. It's not all code, and never was, as we have grown and found each other. https://lnkd.in/gNPUEVDB tries to make a strong case for this, and it's been fun to reflect on how to embody it. #opensource #nodejs #contentdesign #technicalwriting

Test Driven Development & Developer Advocacy - Interview With Guilherme Ferreira You're not a real developer unless you do TDD. Gui Ferreira is a TDD expert -- but no, not even he would tell you this. In our chat together, we covered a lot of ground. It was great to sit down with a fellow Dometrain course author to go over: - His career journey - Developer advocacy - Test-driven development - And MUCH more! Huge thanks to Gui for the talk, and I'd love to do more in the future! 👇Check the comments for the video link!👇

Zuplo was super easy for me to integrate with my web API using only a couple of steps: 1) I needed to forward traffic from Zuplo to my server. This was done with "one line", if I can even call it that, in the Zuplo portal. Given my path on Zuplo, I just had to pick an option in their UI to rewrite and tell it what URL to go to. So far, so good. We like easy. 2) I needed to lock down my server. I want Zuplo to be the "front door" to my web API, but I still have to expose my service so that Zuplo can access it! To do this, I added an API key that my server knows about and Zuplo is configured to use. This means that Zuplo is the only outside source that knows the "secret" to talking with my web API. While my service could technically be discovered and callers could try hitting routes, they'll all be very quickly rejected. 3) ... to be continued! This is where all the *extra* stuff can get added: - Auth - Rate limiting - Monetization - Analytics - Documentation ALL OF IT done through Zuplo. That makes my life MUCH easier 😄 Check out more Zuplo here: https://lnkd.in/giqBk786 Stay tuned for the video coming this Friday on how I modified my ASCII art API to work with Zuplo! This Saturday's newsletter will walk through in more detail. #zuplo #api #webdev #aspnetcore

🚨 Navigating the X Ban in Brazil: A Technical Perspective 🚨 (message me if you are interested in implementing software to continue your business.) As many of you may know, the recent ban of X (formerly Twitter) in Brazil has sparked significant challenges, particularly within the programming and tech community. This platform, which many of us rely on for real-time updates, networking, and knowledge sharing, is now inaccessible in a critical market. **Adaptability in the Face of Change** Adaptability is a necessity. While the sudden loss of access to X presents real difficulties, it also offers an opportunity for us to innovate and explore alternative solutions. 🔧 Technical Solutions to Stay Connected Alternative Platforms: Exploring other social platforms like [LinkedIn, Mastodon, etc.] to stay connected with the community and receive updates. Custom APIs and Aggregators: Implementing custom APIs to pull in data from various sources, ensuring that I don’t miss out on critical industry news and insights. This includes setting up RSS feeds and using Zapier to automate the aggregation of relevant content. Communication Tools: Using encrypted messaging services and VPNs to maintain communication with peers and clients who are also affected by this ban (while respecting the laws and being careful not to advise VPN usage for the Brazilians themselves as it is labeled as illegal). ⚙️ Problem-Solving in Action In this case, I'm ensuring that my productivity and ability to deliver quality work remain unaffected or the effects minimalized. This situation underscores the importance of being resourceful and having a toolkit of technical skills ready to deploy when traditional methods are no longer available. 🤝 Supporting the Community It's crucial that we stand together and share knowledge during times like these. I’d love to hear how others are navigating this disruption. What tools or strategies are you finding effective? Let’s keep the conversation going and find ways to overcome these challenges together. If you are interested in the technical workarounds, message me and we can go over your options as companies and individuals.

🔨The right tools for the job 🔨 Over the years, we've tried all sorts of tools/services to aid our delivery of development projects. Here are five tech tools that we find integral to what we do: 1. SonarQube (Community Edition): SonarQube helps us maintain clean code by analysing and highlighting vulnerabilities, bugs, and code smells. It ensures our codebase is robust and maintainable, giving our clients peace of mind. It's baked into our code review process, making it seamless and easy. https://lnkd.in/eQUQEBUa 2. GitHub Actions: Deployment and automation made simple. With GitHub Actions, we streamline our website deployments, automate testing, and improve our workflow efficiency. Setting up your own GitHub runner saves costs too. https://lnkd.in/efZKt2Rk 3. Sentry: Sentry is live error monitoring, brilliant for production applications. It allows us to catch and fix errors in real-time, enhancing user experience and minimizing downtime. https://sentry.io/welcome/ 4. Ghost Inspector: Automated testing that anyone can build. I personally find this incredibly beneficial for regression testing specifically. Ghost Inspector helps us run automated tests on our web applications, ensuring everything works as expected. https://lnkd.in/e5JmPpyZ 5. Figma: Figma enables our team to build designs and prototypes that can be shared externally. With Figma, we can ensure that our designs are not only visually appealing but also functional. https://www.figma.com/ What tools are essential for your team? Share your favourites in the comments! 💬 #TechTools #SoftwareDevelopment #QualityAssurance #6B

#CQRS can be a good solution for solving complex problems. You shouldn't apply this architecture everywhere, but it's important to know it. After several projects where I used it, I can confirm that it's not that easy but can be very helpful! 🤯 I found this amazing article about it and the implementation with #java. It's a good starting point for understanding it. Have you ever tried to use the CQRS architecture?

📝 Our amazing Rodrigo Martin wrote a post on how to track test related events. 🧪 Why are your end-to-end tests taking so long to execute? Is it a browser-specific thing? Maybe the version of the framework you’re using has performance issues? How easily can you track test coverage if you work with hundreds of different services? At New Relic, we use data and our own product to help answer these questions.

Finish the Guess-Who Scrap CLI project written in Golang. Now, I can download and extract data on famous Brazilian people from Wikipedia, including specific states and cities. The data is saved in either Postgres or an in-memory SQLite database. In this project, I used Go as the programming language, GORM as the ORM, Cobra for the CLI, and Viper for the properties file. You can see more at https://lnkd.in/dvtTPi8R. Now, the next step is to work on the API project (https://lnkd.in/dUFwuXS8), using Quarkus, Langchain4J, Instruct Labs, etc to get the clues based on the data collected before, by the scrap project.

Are there any folks in the Node.js community interested in taking a slightly more active role in #internationalization efforts? We have a number of languages in need of proofreaders, and even language coordinators that can resolve questions/approve suggestions, etc. This is another great example of the multi-disciplinary work an open source project benefits from. It's not all code, and never was, as we have grown and found each other. https://lnkd.in/gNPUEVDB tries to make a strong case for this, and it's been fun to reflect on how to embody it. #opensource #nodejs #i18n
