A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

feeling so blocked in my capacity to create reliable software systems. feels like i hit a ceiling where i can't see what's beyond of what i know, and any attempt to create a system that can actually be reliable and work is exhausting and so scary

self taught devs: how do you jump through this hoop if you are not part of a team?

what kind of reliability are we talking about?

product flows and error handling? you won't get every bug so just try to be as thoughtful about design and immediately add error handling as bugs come up in production.

or other stuff like concurrency, memory etc? i wouldn't over optimize here unless you've actually hit scaling issues. That's a champagne problem as they say. 

if you're an independent dev then simplicity is your best friend. cut scope to build the best version you can of the simplest thing possible to get your users what they want.

I just want us all to have fun. My content is code: @livecaster @harmonybot /bot-or-not | /blitkin | /orange-dao | IRL: YC W15 Construction tech founder

the reliability that i want is being able to trust that my code will do what i want it to do, without errors. for example. out of the 100% api calls your frontends do to your backends, what % of them are successful?

and yes. simplicity always wins. but it is so hard to manage the system in order to have it be there
