Ask HN: How do you learn about Software trends?
I don't mean news websites like TC (X bought Y, Z raised capital, ...) but more like higher level of information to see longer term trends in the market.
When queried through firebase API it returns null: https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/29485561.json
Does anyone know why?
I want to buy a new laptop (Mostly for Java/Docker/K8s based development) and there are two approaches:
1. Buy a powerful laptop with lots of RAM suitable for any kind of development. 2. Buy a laptop with moderate RAM/CPU and do the heavy development parts on the cloud on a VPS (DigitalOcean, AWS, GCP, ...).
Has anyone tried the second approach? What are the drawbacks (other than the need for a stable and high-speed internet)?
