How to Build a Website or App - Syntax #696 This podcast episode covers a wide range of topics related to building a website or web application from start to finish. syntax.fm [1] Great tips in this one. They discuss everything from front end to backend, databases and ORMS, here are a few of my favorite points. - Use good data or good fake data - make it have some variation like long and short text - Don’t use a database if you need one, static content is eaiser to manage - end to end test, (does the site load page x) - You DONT NEED all this complexity, you can deploy a site with HTML [2] and CSS.

- Nice take by @t3dotgg [1]. Some of the old patterns that go deep into webdev, MVC, separation of concerns, REST, are things we are told to believe on day one, thrown so many things, no mental bandwidth, or experience to form our own opinions we must take them as fact. Rarely do we take these facts and revisit them with our new understandings years later. Note This post is a thought [2].
