I agree. I remember the older days (2005-8) when we would dump a load of HTML from the server-side and kept javascript (for the most part) managing the layout and, not to mention, coding the painful differences between browsers.. even IE6 t

As an emacs user, I struggle to see the purpose of tmux when emacs gives me a lot of control of my screen layout. I can see its purpose for vim users... maybe tmux can still have some features for neovim users. For emacs.. my answer is sim

I have not used the templ library so I cannot comment on this. However, as this is more an htmx query I will focus on this -- htmx supports returning other responses, and you can handle their behaviour if you choose to. At a basic level, va

It is hard to know our future. What I am about to write could be wrong, but I will try... At a basic level - it is all html, css, javascript and a server side language at the end of the day. Whether we are talking today or back in the early

I enjoyed reading this. It follows a similar experience with our first htmx website, away from using modern frontends, or just simple jQuery with ajax json data. I remember, working with a co-worker, we planned out the process (a step-by-st

While people are likely to hand useful links or videos, I will attempt another method of understanding. When it comes to organising your code in an ECS-esque fashion, it is much closer to normalising a database except you are organising you

Personally - I think C just needs to remain as C. Sure there will be improvements along the way... but whenever I use C, I stick with C99. There are many alternatives or newer languages which I think is the answer to your proposal. You ment

I enjoyed listening to this talk. In many ways I was aware of the history of OOP but its great to see it in more detail with quotes from known names, etc. I also appreciate the shoutout to Looking Glass Studios and their Thief: the dark pro

Its good to finally see this being 'a thing' in C#. In my opinion, it is 10 years overdue! This feature is likely added to compete with Python, Ruby, etc. The fact you just create a file, write some code and run it. However, I don
