Lessons from 10k hours of programming (remastered) (Interview)

And by our friends over at Superbase, here in the breaks, I'm here with Ant Wilson, CTO over at Superbase. So Ant, I know our listeners know a lot about Superbase, but who are you?

Well, Superbase is open source. You can self-host it if you want to. It is Postgres for life. It is open source for life. Authentication, instant APIs, edge functions, real-time subscriptions, storage, vector embeddings, things for AI. It's got it all. And no servers managed by you. Just build your app, build it in a weekend, scale to billions as you grow.

That's true. Maybe that's the loophole. Definitely got to check the date on the stacker. That's for sure. Because if it's like from 2016 and it's 2021, it might be out of date. Might be. Yeah, I don't know. That's a hard one, too, because it depends.

And the reason I say it depends on maybe this is where the difference is, is these are reflections about pure coding, whereas my example here I'll give is more about using. So I've been doing a lot of stuff locally with Docker online. a lot of containers on my local network, and I'm doing things with Docker Compose and just learning more about different ways to extend and use Docker Compose.

So they're YAML files, configuration essentially. And I'm not going to go read the Docker source code to learn about Compose because the docs are pretty good. So in that example, but that's not pure coding. It's kind of coding, right? I'm coding a config file, which isn't necessarily coding. You're using a thing. It's sort of the ambiguous middle there of coding.

I'll admit that this advice would have been good yesterday, actually, for me.

A day late and a dollar short. So I'm having Matt Billman and Christian Bach from Netlify on Founders Talk soon. And I was digging into my personal site, which actually is using Netlify. And so I was going to make some updates to it. It's a Jekyll site, essentially. And I'm using a plugin called Jekyll Assets. And something changed with Jekyll since the last time I updated in 2019 to 2021.

So now I guess Jekyll assets works differently. And so things that were working once were now broken. And I was digging through documentation rather than source code. And I wasn't finding my answers. I think if I had taken your advice and just dove into the source code a bit more, I can understand a bit more how I might be able to pull assets like I'm expecting because I can see the coaching.
