Jake Teton-Landis's personal blog at jake.tl covers programming and web. Since 2018, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 15 times, most often “Observing NextJS in Production”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Commenters link Jake Teton-Landis's notes for a 2022 how-to offered as a current workaround for cancelling a service, and a deployment write-up for a bootstrapped web app with 150k monthly visits. No comment judges the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

on “Ask HN: Share your personal site”I run Netdata on my home server using the official docker image. I mostly use it to detect run-away containers, and monitor system temprature. For these use-cases, it works great, and I like that it's self contained; way less headache than stringing together Graphviz stuff, or setting up Nagios or Prometheus. Beware - by default it'll send home telemetry, and the web UI will try to "register" your instance with some…

on “Netdata: Open-source real-time monitoring platform”> SSR vs client side: NextJs does this automatically. https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/pages Uh-huh. Do some simple stackoverflow searches for how to configure a real Next/Vercel app with error-handling, passing thru cookie/session state, or how to wire up third party services or components. Or check out next.js issue search for "window undefined" - https://github.com/vercel/next.js/search?q=window+undefined&.…

on “Deployment and infrastructure for a bootstrapped webapp with 150k monthly visits”If you’re on Vercel + NextJS and considering Notion for your blog/CMS, I wrote up automatically rehosting your images and other assets via a CDN here: https://jake.tl/projects/notion-api#solving-image-hosting (I work at Notion, but this content is about my hobby website)

on “Using Notion as a headless CMS for our blog”This isn't much of a consolation, but you've always been able to see the true "all in" total price in search and on the map by browsing https://airbnb.com.au as this is legally required in Australia. It's been that way since at least 2015. More notes on using this technique here: https://jake.tl/notes/2022-05-how-to-airbnb

on “Airbnb nightly rates shot up 36% in 3 years”QuickJs is quite slow compared to JIT engines when you’ll have a long running workload. The major advantage of QuickJS is simplicity - its trivial to compile with Emscripten [for example]( https://jake.tl/projects/quickjs-emscripten ), but if performance is a concern then I’d stick to the JIT engines.

on “Jsc: My New Best Friend”https://jake.tl My full name is Jake Teton-Landis so I’m overjoyed I could get this domain name. I redesigned the site from scratch in 2018, although most of the content is from long before then. The bit I’m proud of is https://jake.tl/notes/2018-03-28-goto/ Built with [Ivy], a static site generator I picked for its simple content model and well-designed plugin architecture. I wrote a custom plugin to inline resourc…

on “Ask HN: Show Us Your Personal Website/Blog?”I have https://jake.tl but can’t think of a good email at that domain to put in my From: line. I think me@jake.tl is lame, jake@jake.tl is repetitive, and root@jake.tl is too faux-oldschool.

on “The One-Name Email, a Silicon Valley Status Symbol, Is Wreaking Havoc”Anyone who over-obsesses or nitpicks framework choice for some personal project isn’t someone I’d want to work for/with. Use whatever you like. The most important part is to make something you enjoy keeping up to date that doesn’t become a big chore. I use NextJS for my personal site, but before that I used a Python static site generator, and before that a collection of FreeBSD POSIX make files and shell scripts. Al…

on “Ask HN: Should I use React for a personal portfolio?”https://jake.tl I’ve used this site design for probably 6 years? Today it’s a NextJS site on Vercel backed by markdown files (older pages) and Notion (newer pages). I’ve also built the same design with a Python SSG which was focused on one HTTP request per page, and before that a POSIX shell script I wrote focused on being as FreeBSD as possible. I would like to share more knowledge on the site, but it’s in last pla…

on “Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?”My path sounds similar :) I started at UC Berkeley in 2010 as a Political Economy major. Hated it, tried the intro CS class because I liked computers, loved that one, but struggled to find motivation for required math classes with tons of homework. Had to take a semester off to work to support myself. I made friends with great people at my student job, joining a cybersecurity team, doing some psychedelics. Didn’t sc…
