¿Por qué no los dos? - Little girl from Old El Paso 'Why not both?' ad is all grown up!

Reply in thread

The RAE (similar to the Oxford Dictionary in English) includes ‘por qué’ as an adverbial phrase under the entry for ‘por’ meaning “for what reason, cause or motive”. ‘Porque’ is a conjunction that translates to “because”. And for fun, ‘porqué’ is a noun, similar to how in English you ask about “the why” or reason behind or for something. ‘El porqué’ would be “the answer” to the question ‘¿por qué?’

As a backend developer, where do I even start with frontend? Feeling major choice paralysis

The backend you are working on can also help narrow down what front end you may want to try. I am a “full-stack” .NET (i.e. I do backend but I’m stubborn enough to touch and make choices on our front end vs other members on my team). Naturally, our apps are ASP.NET MVC/Razor pages, and I’ve dragged a few things over to Blazor for some of our new apps. One could still add vanilla JS / Browser APIs on top of this and cover most needs. Bootstrap consider what you need to keep you app mobile-friendly (usually described as “responsive”), and can be used with just data- attributes.

My opinion is the front end should be quick and should also be light on business logic. Then you are just making http requests for data retrieval or requesting the server to do something. Then you can break out your backend methods/services to handle your data persistence > business logic > shaping the results for what your front end needs

Sorry that got long TL;DR see what front end usually seems paired with your backend and start there. For example, try .NET/ASP.NET Core

I'm thinking of buying the cheapest Nespresso machine

They vary a lot in price and the Essenza Mini has a smaller reservoir than the Pixie (next machine up) and a smaller waste bin. You would have to step up to a more expensive machine if you wanted milk based drinks, but it just might be better to get a separate frother if that’s important to you. Summary: you aren’t losing much by going with their cheapest one.

The coffee you buy is going to be the expensive part if you don’t choose wisely. You may even get a cheaper nespresso capsule compatible machine in Europe if you really want to save some money.

For versatility, I use an Aeropress (everyday) more than my regular delonghi semiauto (once a week or once every other week)
