I was expecting a full on rage-tweet too. Must have hit one of Apples sore spots.

So essentially what partials in a template or server-side include solve. That's the only "build-like" part of my current website, but I'd much rather manage this beforehand and serve static HTML, or run a server-side pro

Agreed, balance is needed in every aspect of life. The conservatism of many experienced developers is likely an over-correction and the result of some scar tissue. There's always room for growth and trying new things, but with those le

Oh I know there's loads of original Rust work, but you have to acknowledge that the "X, but in Rust" trope exists.

They still rely on JS to instantiate though unless I've misinterpreted?

As a certified grumpy old developer I spent years writing off the "X but in Rust" projects, but I have to confess that a lot of good things with meaningful improvements have come from the rewrite-everything-in-Rust movement. I&#x2

I feel we need a club for grumpy old men that yell at clouds! I'm only 34 but after 10 years doing this I now fully understand what my seniors were trying to teach me when I started. Boring technologies that work and will continue to w

I'd like to like web components, but their reliance on JS to instantiate along with all the chaos of the shadow DOM keep them off the table for me. I think they are a great concept defeated by the implementation.

HTML itself is beautiful. Show me a better way to express varied words and images with an eye for creative layout and design the way great books play with this content. Every design system build on top of HTML is just an abstraction that ad

I don't feel that a simple upvote is enough to express my support for this statement. I'll +1 this all the way to retirement! Technology-choice as fashion needs to die. There are suitable tools for the job, and unsuitable ones. De

I was going reply at the top-level because my opinion is vastly different to the majority of comments so far, until I found yours. Years ago I very much enjoyed finding painkillers to make my work easier. I now only take vitamins. I'm

Over the past 2 months I've switched from a YouTube Premium subscriber, to a regular logged-in YouTube user and finally to a no-account user. The increase in ads, particular transitioning to no-account; is staggering. YouTube adverts h

I kind of love this advice! I print a fair amount (but not enough). Certainly never considered the bonus set of shoes!

I salute the developer for taking on such a mammoth challenge as (re)building a RAW editor. Sounds like he has the chops for it though! Sitting on the other of the table (professional developer turned professional photographer) I wish someo

I haven't used DO Spaces for a good while as I've shifted to B2 as cheaper S3-compatible storage that suits my archival workload. However I absolutely would be using Spaces as storage alongside any apps running on DO, and would ha

I used to commute through London by bike. Like the cliche I was I ended up riding a fixie (everything else either got stolen or broke). I found through trial and error that riding aggressively was safest, not because it was inherently safer

I’m sat here with a bunch of metal in my shoulder and a brain full of analgesia after coming off my mountain bike. I crashed at about a tenth of the speed I’d normally be going. My helmet was trashed and definitely saved my life. I’m wonder
