GraphQL vs Firebase

With the variety of server-side technologies today, developers have a lot of choices when it comes to deciding what kind of backend to use for their next application.

In this article, we want to explore the differences between GraphQL and Firebase, two very popular server-side technologies.

Overview

Before diving into technical details, let's create some perspective on the two technologies and where they're coming from.

Summary of 'Clean code' by Robert C. Martin

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.


General rules

  1. Follow standard conventions.
  2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
  3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
  4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

Design rules

Elon Musk

1: Name the enemy

2: Answer “Why now?”

3: Show the promised land before explaining how you’ll get there

4: Identify obstacles—then explain how you’ll overcome them

5: Present evidence that you’re not just blowing hot air

CSS tools on React

Main comparison

  1. Traditional CSS

  • Simple approach, known API
  • we would have to deal with namespace conflicts
  • leverages browser caching, storing the entire app style in the first load and reducing following reloads
  1. Style-based implementations

New Relic Ruby Metaprogramming Challenge

Your challenge, should you accept it, is to write a Ruby library that will modify an existing program to output the number of times a specific method is called.

You solution library should be required at the top of the host program, or via ruby's -r flag (i.e. ruby -r ./solution.rb host_program.rb).

Your solution library should read the environment variable COUNT_CALLS_TO to determine the method it should count. Valid method signatures are Array#map!, ActiveRecord::Base#find, Base64.encode64, etc.

Your solution library should count calls to that method, and print the method signature and the number of times it was called when the program exits.

Also, your solution should have a minimal impact on the program's running time. set_trace_func is a no-go...

I short list of SEO tips and tricks I have learned over time
