"Why I Stopped Using Backend Frameworks" just a month old.

😂

@@deado7282 He does say that for his use case he didn't _need_ a separate back-end and it allowed him to ship those projects faster. The context was that he stopped using back-end frameworks for those use cases. The title is a little click-baity, but dude is a content creator trying to play the algorithm. He's not going back on what he said at all. There's a lot of nuance in this field and context is set by use cases which vary widely.

@@kylerjohnson988 I didn't watch that particular video. But it is a common theme that he adopts a new technology for a project, sees one of it's pitfalls and moves to the next library/language/cloud provider/whatever immediately.

And you will watch me do it many more times, I am very much just trying to figure this stuff out as much as the next guy and am constantly learning new stuff so yea, you are gonna see me change tech and try new stuff a lot. Right now I'm super hyped about TS and AI, in 6 months I might be all in on Elixir or Go, IDK, the point is I'm just gonna end up talking about whatever I'm building and how I'm feeling about it. The point is not that you have to do things the same way, but rather just put stuff in front of people that they might not have already seen

Still learning so I'm not able to reply specifically, but I have the same doubt

You are correct, I cover this in the back half of the video!

Sveltekit's internal fetch handler behaves a little different. If you have an internal request from a server file, it proxies the request directly to the function handler! According to Svltekit docs - "Internal requests (e.g. for +server.js routes) go directly to the handler function when running on the server, without the overhead of an HTTP call.". Pretty cool!

1) You can, honestly the only reason I would not for a lot of projects is that they just dont have a huge reason to, the reasons I would give would be it needs a non serverless env, a faster runtime, or something else specical 2) Have not heard of it, will check it out 3) I've never really tried elysia so honestly I need to go check it out!

​@@bmdavis419 Doesn't Hono have it's own engine to compile React code or at least JSX?

Good call, just fixed!

can you point me to an example?

It does! I talk about this a lot in the back half of the video

@@bmdavis419 my bad man I thought the sveltekit part is only at the beginning I honestly skipped the video upon seeing astro thinking itd be different thank you so much

@@bmdavis419 Can I use this sveltekit+hono with Capacitor? Im thinking of using adapter-static (cause capacitor only works on static sites) so that I can still upload it to cloudflare pages.. however, if I use static, 1. Will the mounted hono still run? 2. Will I still be able to use my Cloudflare D1 Database:? 3. On the android APK, can it call the hono routes? (ex. simple todo apk)

It may be a skill issue but I tried just now, and with no luck, I was not able to make it work. I just thought it would be really cool if I can build webapps that has CRUD that can be converted to Mobile apps directly.. looks like for now, I just need to manually implement things first :) I get errors on building the webapp (your repo) to adapter-static. `307 / -> /todos Error: Cannot prerender pages with actions` but everything must be pre-renderable unless I dont want it included. also the +server.ts has POST and PUT / PATCH which is also not allowed... now I wonder how did you make use of this on your app? unless you did not use capacitor? If you could give some tips that'd be amazing and appreciated :)

I think it does more then PHP did back in the day, but the spirit is the same. I did not really live through PHP (I was in high school) but from what I've seen its a similar idea.

Yea I did kinda realize while making this that yea, things have gotten kinda crazy. I love all the things we can do, but I really am starting to understand the return to HTMX bros more, there is just a LOT of complexity here (for a lot of gain I might add)

​@@bmdavis419 My school teacher once said that trends come and go and then return again. The internet is relatively modern, so we are one of the first generations to see this in terms of Webtechnologies. Also, people can only tolerate so much complexity and bloat, which was at the beginning acceptable. A few js scripts like JQuery or npm packages, that was fine. But with all those shiny nice things come hefty node modules. Like why am I being told to use npm, setup tailwind with webpack or whatever and build it for a simple HTML landing page...

httpie.io/

I think a lot of people did lmao

I've seen this, it is quite cool I'll definitely end up trying HTMX soon

Bun, and yes I agree it is a lot, I kinda did not realize how complex it had really gotten until I sat down and made this video

@@bmdavis419 🙂yes thats also big thing. People can't making domain on JavaScript/TypeScript technology because of its versatility. I also kind of searching for anything which more domain focused field to be specialised.

I am!

because elysia initially was built for bun, in here we using nodejs

@@a7kerkhWhy not Fastify?

Can you give me advice, I want to do freelacning with javascript but I am blocked by Wordpress.

​@@kasper369 sure but not sure what you mean by blocked? My advice generally is to pick an industry you're familiar with, then pick one problem to solve (for example in my case I work with distributors and food manufacturers so MRP is a big challenge - so I am building a modern mobile app that can dynamically react to various factors like commodity pricing spikes, stock levels, sales orders skyrocketing or vendors pushing their lead times). If you have direct contacts (warm leads) to pitch these products to then do so, otherwise I would build 2-3 functional POC's you can use as demonstrations of your talents - then work on a narrative; develop a demo environment and a structured pitch you can call up on command that will fit into 5-7 minutes. As a freelancer, you have to be ready to SHOW what you're capable of and you also have to be able to paint the picture of the problem you solve - it's not impossible to make sales otherwise but having a narrative to show the users HOW and WHY your software benefits them is POWERFUL and a huge benefit of using a dynamic language like Javascript. Most of your competition will focus on the old tired dog and pony shows, you need to come prepared to stand out - so practice those presentations too. As for Wordpress, if you have alot of customers using it currently - if you have familiarity with a more modern framework like Astro for example; then I would start to also build a narrative pitch about the benefits of moving them from a wordpress to an Astro; that way you can simultaneously distance yourself from Wordpress while still being able to benefit from the fact that you have existing customers on Wordpress - they suddenly all become potential prospects. P.S. - Look up security vulnerabilities in Wordpress, there is plenty of information and data on the topic that you can use as ammo to argue in your favor, don't be afraid to lean into your ideas - it is dog eat dog out here. Your competition will say anything to cut you out of the running.

oh also there's the obvious, you should have your apps hosted on your own custom domain and have a landing page (marketing page) that displays and explains your software in a concise visually appealing way (google creative tim - they have some awesome starter templates to get you rolling if you feel stuck).

Good, appreciate your honesty. You'll get it next time!
