It’s awful and I’m pretty sad that it seems the entire nodejs community has adopted next.js as standard. All projects I’ve been involved with use it and none of them use any SSR at all.

For buttons, I think the 'blessed' way to do it is to use (react) components and have the tailwind classes encapsulated there. It makes sense; you have a layer of abstraction where the implementation of your theme is in the &quo

Bashing react today is like bashing Java in ~2010. There are some valid criticisms of react but a lot of them want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, much like with many other mature technologies. I celebrate people who can produce s

For sure - but if I'm paying for a tool like Devin then I'd expect the infrastructure around it to do things like stop it if it looks like that has happened. What you often see with agentic systems is that there's an agent wh

One thing that surprised me a little is that there doesn't seem to be an "ask for help" escape hatch in it - it would work away for literally days on a task where any human would admit they were stuck? One of the more impor

Exactly. I started buying NVDA in 2020 and I still hold almost all of it. If you do rebalancing then you might as well hold an ETF that does it for you at the lowest cost. If you hold individual equities, keep your winners.

The analysis of this EO in these comments is disappointing. It contains a lot of good stuff, also on geothermal and nuclear; long term storage; improving power transmission infrastructure; attempting to address the impact of AI on electrici

Yeah, the AgentForce thing is a classic example. Internal leaks say Salesforce is using it as cover for more regular (cost cutting based) layoffs. People who've actually evaluated AgentForce don't think it's ready for prime t

I think what Waymo's achieved is really impressive, and I like the way they've rolled out (carefully), but there's a lot of non evidence based defense of them in this comment thread. YouTube videos of people driving for hours
