+1 i learned recently that we pay $20/month for a hubspot app to intake our sendgrid webbook data and display it on a hubspot profile. email engagement metrics are very useful so it makes sense. one day we stopped seeing events in hubs

Ok. I can understand that problem on a 30 person eng-team at med/large company. It makes sense why nextjs kills my soul every time I touch it. For side-projects it's just me, for startups it's a few people where the entire pr

what problem does nextjs solve? So as to not be disingenuous, I suspect you're making a false dichotomy that rails = backend and nextjs = frontend and so they solve different problems?

FWIW: That Americans wanna expat to "anywhere else" is a semi cold take. the world is big and i respect other countries for sure. see my other comment about my loving Aussies. But there's something real important and real dee

That is a good point, in the same way the lure of $100k+ salaries inevitably attracted the masses, AI means "everyone can code!" I do share your lament. "Being productive" is a capitalist construct. There's a place

I share your sentiment about the experience developing with AI. But I've been playing with the idea that the concerns and gaps you've listed, can just be explicitly communicated with the AI. If you're concerned about weighing

God on Clayton to publish his thoughts on his own blog! That said, he's throwing the baby out with the bath water and making convoluted claims. I agree with some of them, but I'll exercise my desire to write more and reply: >

that's a good point, yes he grew very annoyed of how bill pay works. The UX is rather lacking. he didn't like not feeling in control of it, was opaque to him, now that i remember. it's a down side of "set it and forget i

There's a good and bad way to be the manager that encourages taking ownership. You're skeptical of the lazy type. it's masked also as "delegation". ICs tasked with doing literally everything, and yes it can get ridi

To ponder whether there's any value in doing anything beyond maximizing steel fabrication output. if it's absurd to you to think that a steel fabrication company should care about anything other than fabricating more steel, well t

I thought just now, isn't inbox zero just a cosmetic difference? For you: important things become tasks, useful things are filed, and everything else gets trashed. For me: important things get opened and replied to. Useful things are s

sounds like a bike shedder's dream. While i think it's possible that contextualized UX has value, it's seem way too easy for builders to go ham doing what they love: building more things. i'm a cursor LLM editor convert.

not OP but the criticism of "what's the point of a mediocre side project" does hit different when you're using LLM to do 90% of the work. makes me think we're talking about two types of side projects. "side hus

What I'm saying is that the goal of standards and cross-platform support across time is valuable. The "open web" is a good thing for humanity. Work towards this goal is a huge shit show. And messy. But it's a good goal.

Your last sentence is likely right, by default the form issues a network request. I've been using a dialog form to update an iframe (it's an editor) so it does work as normal the target iframe gets reloaded. It does not close the

I don't think anyone would say web-standards are excellent, well designed and well-managed. All the wonderful value is in that they are standard. The web is great in its ubiquity. Love the web! Sure it's a mess, how could it not b

That's not the argument at all. These public entities post _exclusively_ on Twitter as if it's the public square. It's not and it shouldn't be. The argument is not about how easy it is to create a Twitter account.

words mean things. What's really the benefit of adding in "just"? Your claim is that people are too easily offended and so maybe these people will be (too) easily offend by the word. So what's really the benefit of using

It's true, components can get unwieldy. That's the feature aspect of components built with a full programming language (js). In contrast, I can't understand how magic attributes on html nodes is more clear. What's your t
