If I ever see this shit in code review I’m flagging it. IIFEs exist to avoid polluting global space in JS - its not something you are often dealing with in modern development. Especially the react example - make a new component, this preven

This could be entirely hallucinated - there’s no reason to trust LLMs unless you can verify with a second source. This is pretty foolish

Ha, I literally used feature flags for authorization when working at (big tech company) since it was very difficult to plumb that data otherwise. The experiment framework was a lot more mature and supported cross stack compared to any other

It’s disgraceful how little respect github commenters have for maintainers sometimes. They seem so entitled to having the package work the way they want it to when it’s used by millions of developers. I feel that the typescript maintainers

You can use ‘as’ to cast unknown to any type. This is extra typing but it does signify to other developers that you’re calling a function on an unverified object, which I believe makes the code more maintainable in the long run.

Absolutely insane level of integrations and reverse engineering across a vast, unruly tech stack. Additionally with a hard deadline, I can only imagine the difficulty of delivering this, especially without too many bugs.

Definitely this is a weird take to me because most web developers just use a Mac and then setting up an environment is fairly easy with brew and nvm. I haven’t tried but I imagine linux is also pretty straightforward. If you’re doing web de

This is why I enjoy webdev! Performance actually matters. If you ship 2MB of JS as your bundle then users will notice, especially on mobile. Whereas mobile apps can easily be ~100MB and no one will even blink an eye. Of course it doesn’t me

This is pretty unfortunate! Pointing a finger at authorities for not investigating excess deaths when Covid quite adequately explains it is disappointing. It seems that people who have a sign that says “follow the evidence” behind them are

If your articles main solution is “just build what the user needs / asks for” then it comes off as incredibly juvenile and naïve. This is one of the hardest problems in product design. Also they seem fairly oblivious as to why these ha

I wonder if we need a new UX pattern where every single destructive action is delayed by ~30s such that there is ample time to press “cmd+z” or a toast undo button. It’s not very difficult to implement the client side code for this, and I t

This has a really terrible take where the author compares javascript obfuscation to source code complexity, suggesting that source code that’s as hard to read as obfuscated JS is unfree. This is a pretty flimsy point - so much that I doubt

If I ever see the author of this post in an interview, I would immediately strongly recommend to not hire the person. This post reeks of arrogance and toxic work culture. The best thing the author should do is delete it.

It’s amazing how all crypto exchanges have automated bug bounty programs built in. It really incentivizes security researchers.

Worthless clickbait - both of these processes that send to external servers are opt in and very clear that it is doing what it’s doing. Also, no big company would intentionally try to store and use your passwords against you. They have no i

This kind of content is so click baity and misleading. Text based AI will regurgitate whatever it’s trained on. If you cherry pick examples, you can paint any narrative. Now, people who aren’t technical will see this and assume the worst, i

I really don’t understand how regulation makes it better? you can simply write down codes if you want a way of recovering a gmail account. Most users don’t do this because they’re not educated and they don’t understand opsec. If a governmen

The author seems to make good points but they lack risk assessment intelligence. Software security’s risks are technically challenging to exploit and require law breaking. If you’re working for a crypto exchange, then maybe this is an issue

TS seems like a great choice syntactically for WASM because it’s familiar to developers who are writing WASM, ie frontend programmers. Compared to rust WASM, this seems to be much better for on boarding. However, because it’s not actually c

The solution is not another templating language. Html is complex and many templating languages exist because it’s hard to compress and everything thinks it’s not that hard. There are so many things you need to do in HTML to make a modern we
