Really interesting. I've been toying with the idea of writing something similar, but a bit more broader in scope about backend/frontend development.

Last commit on the github repo was 9 months ago. Is this still being working on?

I started writing it during the Covid pandemic (2021), then I stopped when roughly half of the chapters were complete.

I am starting again now with the idea of finishing it by the end of 2023, but I wanted to give it another try here on HN to collect some feedback as my first submission went completely unnoticed.

What you mentioned about backend/frontend is actually very cool. In my original plan I wanted to produce three compendia: 1. Software design 2. Software architecture 3. Tech leadership

Still in my mind, but considering I am yet to complete the first one, it is going to take a while :)

Let me know if you ever go down that road! I would be very curious to read it.

I was just browsing HN new, which I don't do too often, just happened to come across it. I did notice you posted it in 2021, 2022 and again in 2023.

I hope you keep working on it, you've come quite far to quit now.

I only skimmed a few pages, and they weren't bad at all from what I saw. I'm gonna take a look at it in full as soon as I can, I'll post any helpful feedback I can on the github repo.

My email in my profile you wanna reach out.

I hope that gives you some motivation to keep going :) even if it didn't get to front page on HN. There's a lot of noise on HN, lot of good stuff doesn't make front page.

Thanks for the kind words! They did certainly motivate me :)
