The latest version of Node is now available. Node.js 22 Some of the newest updates include: - V8 JavaScript engine updated to 12.4 - Support for require()ing ESM graphs is now exposed by default - Package authors can now easily allow both CJS and ESM users to consume their package - Added WebSocket client  - node --watch now stable - (A mode in which you can run your node server and it will reload when a change happens to the specified file or path. - Increased the default highWaterMark for streams, providing a performance boost across the board at the cost of slightly higher memory usage. What are your thoughts on the latest Node release and what features would you like to see next? #node #node22 #softwaredevelopment

Over the past few months I’ve written an extensive tutorial on how to build software applications with Node.js and React. I’m sorry to tell you that this experience didn’t teach me anything about B2B sales, though. But hopefully, it’s still useful for some people out there. From the introduction: The approach of this tutorial is to teach its readers how to build a fully working software application from zero to production. This means two things: 1. You are not required to have done any kind of software development before getting started with this tutorial. It will introduce and explain everything that is needed to build applications in full detail, assuming no prior knowledge or experience. This is the “from zero” part. 2. Building on the foundational knowledge it teaches in the first half, the tutorial will then, step by step, guide you through the process of building a real, full-fledged, and completely working software application, again explaining every detail along the way, and shows how to “deploy” that application — that is, how to make that application available on the Internet for anyone to use. This is the “to production” part. Speaking of B2B sales: I’m afraid you cannot buy this tutorial. That’s because I’m making it available for free, as a series of posts on my blog. The first three parts are already published: https://lnkd.in/e2XCYm3p https://lnkd.in/eW7wUc_d https://lnkd.in/eAU6kgH9 No, you do not need to sign up to my newsletter to get access to the tutorial. That’s mainly because I don’t have a newsletter. Also, no need to follow me (although admittedly, it might help to get you notified whenever I’m publishing a new chapter). Furthermore, please don’t be disappointed if clicking on the tutorial links won’t present you with a cookie banner. That’s because my blog doesn’t use any cookies. No, not even those from Google Analytics, as I’m not using that either. This means I will have no idea how many people will read the tutorial — which makes sense because let’s face it, who is going to consume this kind of long-form, deep-dive technical content nowadays anyway. And in text-only form, of all things! Should you nevertheless decide to dive into the text, expect to learn how to program using JavaScript and TypeScript, how to use these languages to build rock-stable backend applications with Node.js as well as elegant frontend applications with React and Redux, and finally, how publish a complete and integrated software solution on Amazon AWS. Ok, that’s it. If you want to access the bonus chapters, simply subscribe to… — just kidding. There are no bonus chapters. Everything you need to learn to build useful software products is right in the… normal chapters, I guess? Happy reading!

Observation: 9/10 SWE's quit at “reading the docs”. Cut through the BS with this easy trick: Take action and build. Writing code is 100x easier than the docs make it sound. “Reading the docs” gave me crazy imposter syndrome: -Git -WPF -Kafka -OAuth -Angular -GraphQL -RabbitMQ -Kubernetes In ALL cases, I conquered my fears by building. Except for WPF. I gave up on that. And Kafka, that's for another day. Forcing yourself to build/code/deploy melts analysis paralysis. Then you'll say "oh that was pretty easy". Trust me, we aren't building rockets. Practice AND Study build true mastery.

Push notifications have a lot of potential, but real-time communication on iOS, especially with Push-to-Talk (PTT), can be tricky 📲 I’ve worked on projects at intent where implementing PTT on iOS, especially versions before iOS 16, was a real challenge. Silent (background) push notifications are often unreliable for PTT because iOS treats them as low priority. This means the system doesn’t always guarantee delivery, particularly in situations like: → Low battery or when Low Power Mode is on → Poor mobile network quality (like 2G or below) → When too many silent notifications are sent to one device (APNs or iOS might throttle delivery) However, iOS 16 introduced a new Push-to-Talk framework that improves reliability. It uses high-priority silent push notifications and system enhancements to ensure smooth PTT communication. The takeaway? ❗With iOS 16, you can unlock more reliable real-time communication. If you're developing for earlier versions, though, be prepared for potential challenges. Have you run into any PTT challenges with iOS? Let’s chat! 👇 #pushnotifications #pushtotalk #ios #iosdev #apple

1h into a symfony book: fully functioning application 1h into a Go book: and that’s our first view I will however say this: full stack frameworks hide so much complexity away that you can and will run into trouble soon. The minute your needs deviate from the nicely paved path there’s going to be pain. While the more step by step, built it all yourself approach can make you more self reliant and productive in the long run. Still, sometimes you just need to RAD something and for that you still can’t beat a mature full stack framework. Which of course brings me to startups. If I was starting something from scratch today, I think I’d prefer a language and framework combo that let me whip up a fully functioning service in a few days. And when and if the need arose, then start breaking pieces away into a more suitable stack. IF the need arose.
