The Stupid Programmer Manifesto

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • neocities

    Neocities.org - the web site. The entire thing. Yep, we're completely open source.

  • I never used them, but Neocities seem well worth of consideration for simple sites.

  • litestream

    Streaming replication for SQLite.

  • I mean, not really. The hard work was done by benbjohnson who is now working on https://litestream.io/ and https://fly.io/

    I put a relatively thin layer on top of it.

    Now, to address your point more directly: I'm too stupid to figure out configuration, but not too stupid to figure out code. Code gets compiled and type checked. You can have tests, etc. Tractability for code is much higher than configuration.

    With configuration, you have to be really smart and keep many moving parts in your head.

    With code, you can be a bit dumb and lean heavily on the tooling.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • flyctl

    Command line tools for fly.io services
