I'm looking for a workable solution or recommendations to provide a client's credentials to that client in the event of my untimely demise or absence. (E.g. hit by a bus - falling out and need to hand everything over, etc.) I also don't want to mix MY credentials with theirs.

So my primary work isn't webdev, but I do some for clients as part of my general services. Generally this means me building everything from scratch and leaving the client(s) out of the day-to-day management entirely.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to have their business' credentials saved, updated as they are changed, and set aside for if I get "hit by a bus" so they won't be locked out of everything.

I also don't want them "futzing" with things (because some of these clients have impulse control issues and would 100% give their credentials to someone on Fiver to update a paragraph on their website at 2am when I don't answer my phone.) So access while I'm not dead or fired isn't a real option.

I understand that I can make "organizations" in some of the password managers and have emergency hand-over to pre-selected people, but I work alone, and don't "have a lawyer" that can manage it for me.

Which hosting platform would you pick for a small production app: Render vs Railway vs Cloudflare Workers?

I’m building something like a inventory management app and website — authenticated users, a Node/TypeScript API, PostgreSQL, background jobs/cron, and potentially a few thousand users over time.

Currently considering **Render, Railway, and Cloudflare Workers**.

For a production app where reliability, scaling, DB latency, and predictable costs matter, which one would you choose and why?

Would you recommend something else like **Fly.io, AWS, or Vercel + another backend** instead?

Curious to hear from people who’ve actually run production workloads on these.

I think this is a pretty common thing, but it's my first time doing it so I'm a bit lost. Basically I need to make a booking or an appointment. For that I need a customer to attach it too, so when the user first wants to create an appointment, they have to select a customer first, but if the customer doesn't exist, I want them to create a customer. I'm confused as to what should be on what page, should my 'create appointment' button go to select/create customer, which can the go to 'create customer' and back to 'create appointment', it seems clunky? I'm making this app for computer illiterate people so I want to the process to be smooth.

Please, any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi can anyone help me with finding this theme?

It used be be that CSS resets were important to smooth over differences between default browser styling, but browsers have for the most part gotten their act together.

It's more popular nowadays to do a micro reset/normalize/whatever you want to call it to get rid of annoyances. It might contain rules such as * { all: unset }, or * { margin: 0; padding: 0 }, or input, button, textarea, select { font: inherit }, or commonly * { box-sizing: border-box }.

I see the appeal. But at the same time, I find a major downside to all of this that never seems to be discussed - code portability. I write a component in one UI project and want to copy it to another project or to a shared component library, and it's not so simple because the other project(s) may be using slightly different CSS resets.

It's not like it's easy to update projects to use the same resets either, it's so engrained in how everything else was built up in the project.

But there's also a natural desire to revisit what reset you're using whenever you're building a new project, as opinions change, problems are found in existing ones, etc.

Or, on the flip side, maybe I'm wanting to use a third party tool, then find out that my global CSS rules cause issues with their styling.

We try hard to avoid any kind of global pollution in JavaScript, but make it a best practice to do just that in CSS.

So, I try to avoid these kinds of resets. I don't even do the "box-sizing: border-box" thing, it turns out that this box sizing issue doesn't come up very often (for me at least), and when it does, I just add the rule to the specific places that need it. I'll still set a default font to everything, but that's about it.

But, when I look around online, it seems that most everyone still uses some kind of reset. Guess I'm curious if I'm abnormal in my stance here or if there's others out there who also avoid them. Also curious if those who do use resets have ran into problems like the ones I've described above.

Does anyone know how to add completely secure video calls to a website? I’m struggling to find the best way.

Additionally, how do I then host this for free / as low cost as possible.

If anyone has advice that would be great!

I’m part of a community and saw a need that I could fill and have been working on an idea for it for awhile, so I mapped out an infrastructure for a website and started directing Vercel on the build, connecting GitHub as well as Resend. I used Cloudflare for the domain. So far it’s used Next.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, Better Auth, and Tailwind CSS all deployed on Vercel.

That was until I switched to building on Hermes with an Ollama sub because Vercel cost me an astronomical amount for just the homepage.

I’m learning bits and pieces as I go but I feel like the code is probably a giant mess even though everything looks really beautiful on the consumer side and navigates great.

I have my checkout/subscriptions connected to Stripe.

Ideally I will get this off the ground and have it sustain itself, pull in some revenue, and then bring it all to a developer and say “Help, please?” Unless going through 32,000 lines of code (and counting) and 287 files is doable for someone with exactly this much experience in web development.

Are there people who offer services to go over builds like this and refine them or am I going to get laughed off the face of the earth?

Guys does anyone know how to fix this? It randomly stopped working yesterday and keeps showing this whenever I try to start it again from services.msc. Please help.

I’m a full-stack developer with nearly six years of experience

Since the start of the year, I’ve integrated AI tooling heavily across my day job (Claude Code) and freelance work (Gemini Antigravity). The trade off is clear, I write significantly less code, but I ship significantly more. Taking time off recently gave me the space to reflect and I have realised how I barely write code manually anymore and I’m torn about where the profession is headed.

On one hand, this feels like natural career evolution, hands on syntax matters less as the job shifts toward high level architecture, systems design, and code reviews. On the other hand, the shift leaves me alienated from the craft that drew me into engineering in the first place. 

I want to hear from engineers with at least a few years of professional experience:

1. How do you feel about the transition from writing code to orchestrating AI output?
2. Do you still write code manually on purpose? If so, what justifies it?
3. Have we crossed the point of no return on writing the vast majority of our codebase by hand?

I am doing a react native project, where i genrated some UI picture mockup in chat GPT and based on that I genrated some sample pure HTML again chatgpt and later the whole syatem was developed using sonnet where the system was audited by fable 5. For UI i have used some skill in claud which helped to make things cleaner.

Now back the UI for me does not feel AI to me but i can be wrong. How can I make sure before going live?

Things i am still considering

Font

Make things clean material design

Less animation

Littile to no shadows

Appreciate any input

No AI is used while i write THIS post
