As an occasional hobbyist user of Heroku’s free tier, what other providers do you recommend? Fly.io?
A bit more context if it matters, I use it very lightly, and I’m interested on ease of use and ability to have a DB attached to it (I was using PostgreSQL, but any SQL DB would do it).
Yes, that is my recommendation as well. It is too late to add that to my comment now, but it is worth mentioning what I said should be a last resource solution.
A small suggestion: include the lyrics either in the video itself or as subtitles. (I know they are in the description, but this way it would be easier to follow them).
Would you feel more comfortable if doing a project at home? I read here on HN a nice advice to people that may be uncomfortable in a coding interview. Here it goes:
- Ask the company if you can do a project of their choosing instead of coding at the interview. I do not mean to replace that interview, but instead of solving a problem, you would walkthrough what you have done with the interviewee.
I never tried this, but I read some companies allow it.
I do a tutorial of the language I want to learn, but often I find it is not enough. So, I just browse open-source projects (usually GitHub), check their programming style, learn new tricks (some are not usually mentioned in tutorials) and only then I contribute to the project. Most of the times I get code review for free. This practice has also other positive effects.
