Dev's, share something you know that most don't

Hey dev's 👋

Share anything – be it tools, hacks, techniques, or services – that you know that most don't. It can be as simple as an editor extension that helps you debug more efficiently or an API that makes fetching data a breeze.

I'll go first. Upstash Redis - Fully managed Redis database in the cloud. You get all the benefits of Redis, without the work of managing it. You can use it to store sessions, user data or some user info that you need blazing fast.⚡

In Ruby, basically everything in the language is hackable — and it's remarkably easy.

Want to add behavior to the Array class, so if I wanted to be able to call [5, 15, 25].astrological_sign, I can define that behavior by adding this to the project:

class Array
  def astrological_sign
    return "Array is empty" if self.empty?

    avg = self.sum.to_f / self.size
    case avg
    when 0..10
      "Aries"
    when 10..20
      "Taurus"
    when 20..30
      "Gemini"
    when 30..40
      "Cancer"
    when 40..50
      "Leo"
    when 50..60
      "Virgo"
    when 60..70
      "Libra"
    when 70..80
      "Scorpio"
    when 80..90
      "Sagittarius"
    when 90..100
      "Capricorn"
    when 100..110
      "Aquarius"
    else
      "Pisces"
    end
  end
end

Voila

numbers = [5, 15, 25]
puts numbers.astrological_sign  # Output will be "Taurus"

more_numbers = [35, 45, 55]
puts more_numbers.astrological_sign  # Output will be "Virgo"

Ruby is so flexible, this seems really cool! 😯

I know developers can be quite skeptical about Oracle. However, unlike AWS, Azure, and GCP, you can utilize Oracle Cloud to set up a free cloud deployment with 1-4 ARM64 nodes. For example, this is a great opportunity for learning how to set Kubernetes cluster up from scratch or even for running a few small products, as I do (check out the Hosting section in my post): dev.to/azasypkin/running-secutilsd...

This is great until Oracle disables it due to low usage (had a node-red instance taking up little traffic).

Whole thing was gone after 3 months without any warning. If you're aware of this and just use it to goof around, it's perfectly ok tho.

Indeed, there's always a catch. I've been running a few projects there with regular traffic, and everything has been going smoothly for almost two years now.

There are some cool snippets to create functional component and layout component in your typescript Next.js application.

  "Typescript React Function Component": {
    "prefix": "fc",
    "body": [
      "import { FC } from 'react'",
      "",
      "interface ${TM_FILENAME_BASE}Props {",
      "  $1",
      "}",
      "",
      "const $TM_FILENAME_BASE: FC<${TM_FILENAME_BASE}Props> = ({$2}) => {",
      "  return <div>$TM_FILENAME_BASE</div>",
      "}",
      "",
      "export default $TM_FILENAME_BASE"
    ],
    "description": "Typescript React Function Component"
  },
  "Typescript React Layout Component": {
    "prefix": "lc",
    "body": [
      "import { FC, ReactNode } from 'react'",
      "",
      "interface ${TM_FILENAME_BASE}Props {",
      "  children: ReactNode",
      "}",
      "",
      "const $TM_FILENAME_BASE: FC<${TM_FILENAME_BASE}Props> = ({ children }) => {",
      "  return <div className='$1'>{ children }</div>",
      "}",
      "",
      "export default $TM_FILENAME_BASE"
    ],
    "description": "Typescript React Layout Component"

Lambda functions are essentially just anonymous functions which return a callable function in most languages

HTML is more complex than you think and you should learn it deeply to make your work better. You can make any component more efficient, accessible and SEO friendly.

For a young dev, knowing how to make AS3 loaders for datamining flash player apps is an oldschool skill I learned on the go.
Today it's HTML5 CSS JS.
