@fakerholic.bsky.social geen idee als het je genre is, maar Detectorists staat op VRT Max momenteel. 1 van de mooiste (en grappigste) Britse comedy reeksen van de afgelopen jaren.
Probably 99% of the time, when I see someone asking about #Microfrontends they go on to describe a use case which absolutely does *not* require microfrontends. MFEs are complicated, slow, and hard to maintain. They should almost always be your *last* resort to solving any particular problem.
