This is probably true for almost every subject, I found myself hating chemistry in high school mainly due to a bad teacher, but then I watch thiings like red nile on YT and am amazed hor funny this subject is.


> This is what I really want to do ...

This is an incredibly selfish and childish demand. Except of doing the really hard work of finding and CREATING meaning in your everyday life by understanding the problems of other people you want to re-enact with the benefit of hindsight the people that did this successfully in the past. Most people in your corporate job actually are making the same mistake as you, maybe it is time you wise up and call them out on it. Before you can do this at least admit to yourself that you don’t know what to do next either.


How is this different from something like Caddy which supports https://localhost instead of something like https://lcl.host


localhost gives you a different security context in your browser than using a full domain name. Typically to use a full domain name locally you'd either need to mess with /etc/hosts (which can bite you later) or mess with DNS. lcl.host just makes things work out of the box.


Let me add a bit of clarification here, since you specifically asked about https://localhost

Using http with localhost is a mostly security context, but it has some quirks[0]. Using https://localhost will give you the full security context but then you're typically stuck either dealing with certs manually or using a proxy, like caddy. lcl.host should simplify your setup.

We're big fans of caddy by the way and even sponsor the project. Matt's doing amazing work over there.

Thanks! That reminds me we need to get your logo on our new homepage. I'll shoot you an email.


Unbelievable! It is a strong signal that people don’t care and technical leadership is bad. Always the nonsense excuses of having to work on a “legacy” codebase for more than ten years with a team of 3 developers and 4 analysts.
