HOW TO STREAM FILES FROM NEXT.JS ROUTE HANDLERS

We traditionally use a "public" folder to serve files in Node.js applications. However, this only works for static assets and doesn’t work for files like profile pictures, private files, or generated files - these files are served from an API and loaded into memory. This isn’t scalable when there are a lot of users. Instead, it’s useful to use a stream to return large files in chunks. This article looks at a couple of ways to achieve this using both Next.js API routes and also the more generic Route handlers.

HOW TO GET IN THE FLOW WHILE CODING (AND WHY IT’S IMPORTANT)

Many developers have experienced “flow state”: your ideas are flowing, time and space fade away, and the path ahead of you is clear. Achieving flow state is not only great for productivity, but also enhances dopamine and endorphins, resulting in an increased feeling of motivation, thinking ability, and general well-being. To better reach flow state, it’s helpful to optimize your environment, map out your work ahead of time, and find joy in the work that you’re doing.

WHEN "LETTING IT CRASH" IS NOT ENOUGH

Once your app gets into an undesirable state, the best thing you can do is reset it and start from a fresh, well-known, and correct state. Erlang’s "let it crash" philosophy suggests resetting parts of an application upon failure. While effective, it requires developers to manually track and restore application states. Another approach, "durable execution," allows computation to run uninterrupted by storing minimal data for state reconstruction, making local variables resilient even through restarts.

“WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS” IS A RADICAL STATEMENT

The phrase "wherever you find podcasts” highlights a stark contrast between podcasting and closed media platforms like YouTube or TikTok. Podcasting's open format empowers creators to control their content and audience relationships, enabling portability and resisting surveillance-based advertising. There are challenges in podcast economics, but podcasting is a beacon for the open web's renaissance and a model for reclaiming control in online spaces. Podcasting is similar to RSS feeds for blogs and newsletters.

THE IDEAL PR IS 50 LINES LONG

The ideal size for small pull requests (PRs) is around 50 lines long. Smaller PRs are reviewed and merged faster, less likely to be reverted, and attract more review comments per line changed. Data from various repositories suggests that PRs between 25-100 lines offer optimal benefits across speed, review quality, and total code output. Extremely small PRs (under 25 lines) tend to have a higher revert rate, while very large PRs (over 10,000 lines) may receive less engagement and feedback.
