You make a good point! There are many common input configurations that will come up again and again, as forms and other types on input (like maps as you mentioned). How can we solve for that? Maybe a solution would look like the server expr

I went through this process this year. Found solar installation companies on Yelp, got some quotes, chose an installer. A month later, I have Panasonic panels and a Powerwall powering my home. There’s plenty of info online. I live in the US

How old are your kids? I found it was really tough for me until they hit around age 3 or 4. Getting them into school helped enormously. As they grew older it became easier for me to reason with them and they also became more capable of taki

It’s just an abstraction for the idea of “this pattern tends to signal a problem”. The same way humans have learned that certain smells signal spoiled meat or rotten eggs. Sometimes those smells can safely be ignored, like when eating Limbu

Thanks for sharing this info. It’s helpful, and I will take some time to digest it.

I love your objective approach and, as an engineer, I appreciate its merits. But I’m afraid you might not like my answer because it’s based on lived experience. I live in the area affected by the Eaton Fire. I’ve been here for 10 years. We

“Climate change isn’t the cause.” The region experienced back to back years of high rainfall, spurring brush growth. This year the region experienced severe drought, converting all of that growth into fuel. Last week the region experienced

I think this is a valid approach, but success is contingent on working with product-minded engineers [0]. I consider myself to be one, so I'm a fan of this approach. There are also many engineers who aren't product-minded, and the

You're describing symptoms but you don't know how to address them because you don't know the cause. Dig deeper. Ask folks if they feel a sense of urgency. If they say no, ask them why. Once you understand the root of the prob

According to The Phoenix Project [0], if you can form a model of how work flows in, through, and out of your team then you can identify its problems, prioritize them in order of criticality, and form plans for addressing them. The story&#x2

Thank you! As snide mentions a few threads up, we built a documentation website for the library from day 1, which I think helped folks a lot. I'm not a fan of Storybook -- I prefer docs to present components in realistic situations, an

Hey Dave! I think your great design was a big factor in incentivizing people to use EUI. When folks can see how much of a boost the library can give a UI, they'll _want_ to use it.

I did this! I founded EUI [0] at Elastic and helped teams adopt it. I attribute success to a few factors: 1. Publish components, not styles. This has been rehashed in other HN threads, but the idea is to provide Lego blocks to help engineer

I think mature individuals will be able to overlook significant differences in one another and focus on the outcome: helping the team and the business succeed. If I picked up a signal that a candidate wouldn’t meet this bar, I wouldn’t hire

I think the point is that one group of people is imagining a change and saying, “That change will be intolerable!” And then another group is actually experiencing the change and saying, “Hey, it’s actually pretty good.” You won’t know how y

I’m torn on litter. On one hand, I like a clean immediate environment as much as anybody else. On the other hand, throwing it in the trash is just hiding the problem. The garbage was still generated, and it still goes somewhere . If we wer

My very modest claim to "fame" is having founded the Elastic UI Framework [1]. My experience with these kinds of design systems taught me two lessons: 1. You'll iterate towards the most useful version of your design system in

I work at Vectara and I'm curious -- are folks here using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)? What's your stack and what kind of improvements have you seen in answer quality?

What I do is ctrl-f in the codebase to look for the name of the React component. This tells me how often it’s being used, and I can see exactly where and how.
