I tend to deploy all Python based apps using gunicorn behind a caddy proxy. Take a look at the compose.yml https://github.com/confuzeus/simple-django/blob/master/ansib... Deployment is as simple as `dock

Sure, the build script would be insightful. Removing the virtual dom sounds cool. I've been sleeping on SolidJS because I've always stuck with React after being disappointed by other frameworks. If it allows me to keep my server r

I've been thinking about loading React or something similar for specific components but still not sure which method I'm going to use for that. How are you embedding SolidJS on specific pages? Or do you actually have a full build p

Sure, I could build forms with React only but I found controlled forms to have less performance when there are many fields. react-hook-forms uses uncontrolled forms with refs which has near native performance, so if I had to build that by h

I built my latest SaaS ( https://clarohq.com ) using HTMX, backed by Django. I really enjoy the process because HTMX allows reactivity using swaps and plain Javascript events instead of server side state management, useeffect, and

My experience has been the opposite with Rails because of open-ended patterns with Hotwire. Sure, Rails itself is opinionated but Hotwire provides multiple ways to do the same thing, which confuses LLMs. For example, recently I tried buildi

There's a certain elitism in programming where people will claim that library authors are superior to programmers who can only use those libraries, which is devoid of logic. Surprising, because programmers excel at logic. Either way, I

I never found coding to be fun. All I care about is shipping features. However, I do care about maintainability and user experience. That's why I use AI to write much of the "dumb" code, and then I'll spend time doing qu

Wow, that's why Copilot has been acting funny on Vscode. Code quality dropped and requests keep failing. But I'm still seeing Claude models in the selector. Can't read this article because of paywall. Are they exaggerating?

Vibe coding is only a problem when non-programmers do it. As a programmer, I know how to give precise instruction to models so that they end up writing high quality code. I also have the knowledge to manually fix code that models generate.

Engineers who speculate about currently non-existent metrics instead of getting work done while shaming others for wanting to make progress should look for employment in academia.

I would love to see some numbers then. Until then, I'll just assume that using build tools and frameworks means one is a junior developer to be bogus claim.

Once a dependency turns into a security vulnerability, you can either replace it, or write your own library like I suggested. It's more cost effective and time efficient than writing your own libraries from scratch for every project. F

I could have built an web app in 2015 using C without any frameworks or build system. That doesn't mean I wouldn't want to rewrite it from scratch in 2025. Rewriting things from scratch is something that everyone wants to do as ti

1. Dependencies break your project only if added unpinned. Most modern package managers will pin dependencies for you. Now, what if a dependency does break? Well, you can replace it with another dependency, or you can write one from scratch

My thoughts exactly. Inference should be dirt cheap for LLMs to truly become powerful. It's similar to how computing used to be restricted to mega corps 100 years ago, but today, a smartphone has more computing power than any old age m

For me, writing CSS and coming up with professional looking designs were huge bottlenecks. Now I delegate those tasks to LLMs. I recently started working on a client's project where we were planning on hiring a designer to build the fr

I'm having the same issue with Gemini as soon as the context length exceeds 50k-ish. At that point, it starts to blurp out random code of terrible quality, even with clear instructions. It would often mix up various APIs. I spend a lot

We don't need AI to wipe out entry-level office jobs. David Graeber wrote about this in Bullshit Jobs. But now that we have AI, it's a good excuse to wipe out those jobs for good, just like Elon did after he acquired Twitter. Afte

It's impossible to fix the gaming industry because it's made up of consumers with low impulse control. You can see evidence of that with the recent GPU crisis where even as prices go up, sales remain constant. Then you have game d
