Use the framework that has the libraries you need, React has a lot of ecosystem around it so it tends to have everything. You don't want to spend time integrating a plain JS calendar library into your random framework when you can jus

The main problem is that it is not really viable to start with HTMX and add react (or another frontend framework) later because you end up having two completely separate stacks that are very incompatible with each other. The worst sin a lar

Just because you have an SPA doesn't mean you need any state in the frontend. Main problem with react devs is just overcomplicating and over-abstracting stuff. The best way to explain it to a backend person is like the same interperson

Depends on how you set up the company. Usually most startups are done with a limited liability company which usually causes the debt to go down with the company while keeping your personal finances safe. https://en.wikipedia.org&

To be honest, I wasn't the one who added it and have only occasionally done some small changes to the NX configuration. I don't think we pay for their Cloud, I think all our stored artifacts are stored in GHA caching system and we

Caching and sharing artifacts is usually the main culprit. My company has been using https://nx.dev/ for that. It works locally as well and CI and it just works. Our NX is pointed to store artifacts in GHA, but our GHA scri

I would argue that windows desktop development using .net is a walled garden in itself as well. They finally realized what I was saying when they acquired Xamarin in 2016. I never used Xamarin myself, but I hear it is not that great and kin

I think the critical failure of the windows phone was that app development was not open. You can't compete with established walled gardens by building your own, you can only compete if you make a huge amazing park free to use just outs

You could use some simple CSS tricks (like flex-direction: column-reverse) to make the end of the HTML render above the search results and just keep appending the AI generated text to the HTML without closing the connection.

Yeah, the layout would be a bit weird because the iframe would need a fixed height but it would totally work and add no latency for the main search results at all.

As someone who works with React Native this is definitely true. Imagine a venn diagram: Full Navive: 2 very big bubbles React Native: 2 small bubbles and one big bubble It doesn't happen very often but it can be quite annoying to imple

In paid SaaS B2B A/B testing is usually a very good idea for use acquisition flow and onboarding, but not in the actual product per se. Once the user has committed to paying they probably will put up with whatever annoyance you put in

I worked at an almost-medium-sized company and we did quite a lot of A/B testing. In most cases the data people would be like "no meaningful difference in user behaviour". Going by gut feeling and overall product metrics (lik

Brazil instituted a cash-back system where any receipt that is created you can opt into putting your name/ID on it tying it to your person, even for cash transactions. You get around 0.5% cash-back if you do. This is still important ev

It is quite incredible to me that Sweden doesn't have a bank of last resort to cater for the people the big banks don't care about. The best they have is SBAB which is a partially state-owned bank but they focus more on mortgages.

Sounds a lot like static website generation that a lot of JS frameworks do. There are a lot of pitfalls with this approach, but for a subset of problems it is very good.

Although I don't disagree with that statement it is not exactly what I was implying. I was implying that good languages eventually grow into bad languages. Usually happens through tacking on new features and standard API functions with

yeah the "distance between frames" latency is just one overhead, everything adds up until you get real latency. 10ms for your wireless mouse then 3ms for your I/O hardware then 5ms for the game engine to process your input th

Half of the point of Deming's books is that you should not set goals. Measure yes, but not goals. Especially not tied to incentives like bonuses or promotions.

I believe that Zig build system can cache comptime processes, so if the JSON didn't change it doesn't run again.
