  • #13 Code in the time of Covid
    Nov 9 2021

    The fullest and saltiest show notes, just for you:


    Breedr - The FREE precision livestock app - Better beef begins here!

    James has a new (new) job!

    GitHub Codespaces Documentation - GitHub Docs

    Chris shills for Microsoft, extolling the virtues of cloud-computing. Strange times indeed.

    The Remote Culture War Has Begun, And Executives Are Pumping Out "Back To Work" Propaganda

    Yes, please let me back into a shared work space :/

    Who's fucked up this week?
    It's a doozy, and it's on the blockchain!

    Chris's picks

    • Introduction · RxDB - Documentation
      • RxDB - an offline-first database that lends you some nice reactivity in your app activity.
    • GitHub - chrisquinnr/yeetr: Yeet your files. A file sharing CLI app using file.io for ephemeral hosting.
    • GitHub - chrisquinnr/chonk: Files too big? Hosting too small? Reign in those 4k hero images with chonkr, a one-stop shop to resize those bloated images in your project.
      • Two utterly shameless plugs from one of the co-hosts, using his fame for personal gain. Diabolical stuff really, and that's just the code. Proudly written in typescript.


    James's picks

    • Realm Home
      • An on-device DB that wipes the floor with your beloved SQL-lite, press F to pay respects.
    • Corridor Crew
      • Talented hijinks of the VFX kind with the ultra-talented yet irreverant lads at the Corridor Crew
    • npm: react-jinke-music-player
      • A buttery smooth react music player, living loud and proud on the newly re-vamped Salted Bytes website, rewritten by our very own James Best in Next.js.


    And finally
    Queuing for Petrol I’m on a horse
