The Cost of Convenience
- PoignardAzur 3y agoInteresting post. The "build abstractions on top of the platform" approach reminds me of Deno, which encourages provides both web-standard APIs and a standard library.
- PoignardAzur 3y agoAs an aside, I really miss videos by Surma and Jake Archibald. HTTP 203 was one of the best resources for learning about DX tools I had ever seen. It was content-dense, with a cheeky tone and some nods to the fourth wall, but never to the point it felt forced or distracting. There's something to the format of watching two developers chat and have fun talking about best practices that is deeply compelling; it felt like a human side of google that they kind of lost in recent years (their current devrel videos really don't do it for me). In the age of SEO spam everywhere, rich insightful content about webdev and DX is hard to find. I miss these guys.
