Ahhh… lovely serveless cloud SPA crashing in your freaking face with a stack trace.<p>We’re being so cheated with all this marketing bullshit.<p>Had you used a decent web framework you’d at least show a proper error page and get sent a notification about the problem.

This is really fascinating.<p>Mostly because I never heard of the "/uses" convention. Unfortunately it's impossible to google to learn about it. Does anyone know where "/uses" originated?
I bit like a modern version of the .plan file displayed when the user is fingered.<p><a href="http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/P/plan-file.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/P/plan-file.html</a>

It looks like this site is experiencing issues, but I believe this is the same data: <a href="https://github.com/wesbos/awesome-uses">https://github.com/wesbos/awesome-uses</a>
Edge functions for hobby projects are awesome, until your project gets featured on HN's front page. I'd love to see a postmortem about the cloud costs.
I have this vague memory of a website where people could upload their bash scripts and more importantly a sort of primary setup script if you were booting up a fresh install.<p>The idea being after installing your distro, you could<p>> curl -sSL <script_url> | bash<p>It was somewhat of a social network. (10-20 years ago)<p>Am I taking crazy peoples or was this something...
Unfortunately, the link is currently unavailable, but from the title, it sounds similar to Uses This (<a href="https://usesthis.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://usesthis.com/</a>), which I find to be an interesting way of learning what tools people are using in different industries.
What does this offer that isn't already well-established at <a href="https://usesthis.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://usesthis.com</a> ? -- aside from /Uses having a hideous design, that is...
I extracted all the external links in each of the /uses pages and there are about 3,200 unique external links in total. I also checked each domain whether it's alive or not (expired) and surprisingly only 2 domains were expired - that's a pretty good result.<p>As far as the site itself goes, it's too impractical the way it is made now. It would work way better if people formatted their /uses page in a specific format that could then be pulled by this site and viewed directly. Otherwise, it's a link farm that you'll get bored of browsing very quickly.
Live site's down for me. Use this instead:<p><a href="https://archive.ph/51fPZ" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://archive.ph/51fPZ</a>
Is this meant to be a directory of people who are looking for work? If so, that's fine, I guess. If not, be aware that it feels like one.<p>If I made one of these for myself, it would be completely out of date in a year. It's almost like setups, gear, software, and configs are ephemeral and don't describe a person very well.
It's geek code in the cloud!<p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090220181018/http://geekcode.com/geek.html#computers" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://web.archive.org/web/20090220181018/http://geekcode.c...</a>
I like the idea, but I'm a proponent of humans.txt [1] as an analog to robots.txt. I put one on my own sites.<p>[1]: <a href="https://humanstxt.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://humanstxt.org/</a>
Question as a non-dev: many devs there seem to use only laptops and often even relatively old ones; no desktop workstations or high power servers in sight. Is that common? Or is that selection bias of that website?
nobody asked but here is mine! <a href="https://www.swyx.io/new-mac-setup" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.swyx.io/new-mac-setup</a> maybe i should switch it to a /uses URL
