what i learned doing coffeeee

HTTP

Security/Authentication

Database

Logging

Design

  • REST url design: /coffeees/{id} or /coffees?coffeeId={id}
  • frontend cache
  • Post-Redirect-Get pattern
    • frontend sends POST to backend
    • backend creates resources and return 302/303 status code
    • browser receives and redirects

networking

  • docker compose, nginx
  • how frontend interacts with backend

AI

  • you can’t just let AI run wild
  • LLMs are very good at addition, not so much subtraction
  • playing around with AI to build intuition
  • whenever i approach a problem with agents, i think “how can i provide a feedback loop to the agent”

business

Nothing really matters, except bringing value to the customer

Type safety, 100% test coverage, the ability to fluently express business logic in code, perfect development tooling, an efficient system that wastes no resources, using the best programming language for the job, an elegant API design, a fast feedback loop, writing great code – these are not the goal.

Here’s the goal: providing value to your customers, by shipping software that solves their problem, repeatedly.
