ive been practicing and learning typing for about 6m+ now to learn and then to improve my typing speed; pretty much every day.

i used to look down at the keyboard all time and now i almost never look down. i used to type much much slower and make mistakes all the time.

finally hit 120wpm for the first time with barely any mistakes!! so happy. just wanted to share

i kept seeing on subs like this one and other ones that people say the most valuable skill to learn is touch typing - yup, i understand now lol

bit of vent here.

had a bit of disagreement online with this vibecoder. he kept making claims that writing code by hand is pointless because it's so slow....

been a dev for about a decade and can type fairly fast. I've been using primarily go, js and live in the terminal (use cli tools for everything; pgcli, git, etc).

having been coding for so long i genuinely find it easier to express what i want to do with code than with english language. i think vibecoders just can't comprehend this...that many, many seasoned devs can pump out decent quality code in a short time

don't get me wrong - i use ai agents; i love them. a quick bash script, some quick POC, some basic python, some simple ui dashboards, writing out basic unit test, summarizing error logs, helping with debugging, etc. it's magic for things like this. but some of these companies shilling purely tokenmaxxing have lost the plot and im convinced it's just ads...agents are amazing but they're not a replacement.

so tired of vibecoders who have never built/worked on / maintained any serious software (typing nextjs simple crud project type ppl) claim that coding is dead lol

anyway - i sent him this via of me typing to prove my point lol

Hi o

mintlify background of the hero section of the landing page site has this 3D shape moving in the background. It’s a <canvas> element.

I’ve noticed some tech sites have these; how to create these (which tools) and how are they exported so they can be used in a site like this within the canvas element?

Hello,

I am building a new product and need to have a robust queue system but I'm not sure what product to choose.

I've worked in Amazon before and usually AWS tools are the default go-to but in my own time for small project I've used things like: https://github.com/hibiken/asynq for basic tasks.

My concern with the above is that it's still in "early" development; from their README:

```

Status: The library relatively stable and is currently undergoing moderate development with less frequent breaking API changes.

☝️ Important Note: Current major version is zero (v0.x.x) to accommodate rapid development and fast iteration while getting early feedback from users (feedback on APIs are appreciated!). The public API could change without a major version update before v1.0.0 release.

```

I'm building something right now that will require something very robust; scheduling, long running workflows with several external dependencies (which may have failure and need retries and notifications, webhooks, etc)

Ideally I want to use the same tool for everything; so that would also include basic things like fan-out (like user singed-up: fan out to email service to queue welcome sequence, notify another service, make api request to another dependency, etc.)

There are so many too choose from: NATS, RabbitMQ, Asynq, AWS tools, Google Pub/Sub, etc.

There are so many options and I'm always very excited to explore tools but I need to pick one and us that across entire project for everything; since it won't be just me and having one interface/tool to learn reduces cognitive load.

What do you use normally and why?
