So I spent 3.5 years making a game as a website...
Anyway, the structure of this website uses microservices, driven by an engine I dubbed the MERN-template. It has it's own auth service, and supports both chat and a news feed. The game-specific elements are closed-source though (the idea is you fork the core repo, and build out from there).

Is the MERN stack still worth learning?
i use mariadb, but yes.

So I wrote an auth server - are people using it???
Backstory: Decade Jam, a game jam that lasts for a decade, began Jan 1st, 2020. I started writing a web game called Egg Trainer, but after a year of work realized that my codebase wasn't workable anymore. So at the beginning of 2021, I began working on a game engine that would power the beta version of ET - this is called the MERN-template (clearly, I'm bad at naming things).
-
MERN Stack, why?
My MERN-template actually uses MySQL. There's no requirement that you do it one specific way.
-
If you were tasked with creating a Reddit clone what would your stack be?
I'd use the MERN-template project that I wrote myself. It's essentially the mern stack, except with MySQL.

Monetising a Web Game
I've basically written this thing from the ground up, including an open source engine that uses microservices.

PSA: Your choice of Game Engine has little to no effect on whether your first game gets finished. And zero effect on whether you make a "good" game.
Anyway here's my game engine.

Why you should be obsessed with "dogfooding" your product
Oh, I've done this with my MERN-template. It was designed to power my game, but I made it available for others to use.

Ruby 3.3's YJIT: Faster While Using Less Memory
Obviously as an interpreted language, it's never going to be as fast as something like C, Rust, or Go. Traditionally the ruby maintainers have not designed or optimized for pure speed, but that is changing, and the language is definitely faster these days compared to a decade ago.
If you like the ruby syntax/language but want the speed of a compiled language, it's also worth checking out Crystal[^1]. It's mostly ruby-like in syntax, style, and developer ergonomics.[^2] Although it's an entirely different language. Also a tiny community.

What languages are useful for contribution to the GNOME project.
Crystal is a nice language that's not only simple to read and write but performs very well too. And the documentation is amazing as well.

Jets: The Ruby Serverless Framework
Ruby is a super fun scripting language. I much prefer it to python when I need something with a little more "ooomph" than bash. It's just...nice...to write in. Ruby performance has come a long way in the last decade as well. There's libraries for pretty much everything.
My modern programming toolkit is basically golang + ruby + bash and I am never left wanting.
I do find Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) really interesting and am hoping it has its own "ruby on rails" moment that helps the language reach a tipping point in popularity. All the beauty of ruby with all of the speed of Go (and then some, it often compares favorably to languages like rust in benchmarks).
