There is no black or white here. 98% of every site is in between those things and you could consider them one way or the other. Is reddit a website or an application? is a backoffice dashboar a website or an application?. The problem with S

The alternative to SPAs is not 90s pages reloads. Nowadays you have livewire, hotwire, unpoly, htmx and several other modern solutions.

The key here is that if we consider equivalent good and robust implementations, equivalent capable teams, same UX, etc of an SPA and a traditional full stack MVC application with a modern ajax tool such as livewire, hotwire, etc the latter

It is rootkit free, they still haven't migrated it to work in ARM. Will come in a later automatic update.

I'd love to change, but I'm signed up everywhere with my gmail account. I feel kidnapped at this point. And it is not as easy as just changing my login email everywhere. 1. Some system (such as government ones) make it very, ver

Don't try to force everyone to your preference and your thinking. Do you enjoy working at an office? Join a company which is office first. Want to work from home? join a remote first company. Market and time will decide which ones are

The complexity is still there even with microservices or a Go or a Clojure codebase, it's just that either you've created a mess or you've created your own framework. In my experience, you either use one of these big framewor

Yeah, this is the case I was talking about with the 90% of cases I was referring to. At a previous job, we had a many, many thousand lines codebase of typescript, redux, observables, epics, thunks, custom server API libraries, websockets, E

While I do like static typing, I find more bugs because people have no clue about security and they think they can do it better by just tying together a few libraries and storing a jwt in local storage or they forget to handle Prisma except

Yes, me too. But it makes absolutely no sense business wise. We like to play with tech, and learn and use the new shinny. While you're writing your frontend in elm and building your graphql API with Apollo and your serveless functions

I can't believe this madness. Is it worth? What if you just didn't build an SPA? But pretty sure some engineers are having tons of fun building this stuff there. good for them and their CVs.

Also, note that when not going the microservices/spa/kubernetes route, the alternative is not "old style reloads on every click and jQuery spaghetti", I'd say that's equally as bad. Nowadays there are alternati

THIS I think that if we were more pragmatic and less about following the current fashion or trying to do what FANG does (which probably is just the opposite of what everyone else needs) we wouldn't be in such a high need of developers.

I really hope some sanity comes back to this industry. Rails and Laravel are the best tools by far to build like... 90% of what we build on the internet (Other 10% being offline first apps and stuff like figma, etc). It just hurts to see ho

Any alternatives? What would you recommend instead? I'm under the suspicion that every single Smart TV vendor has the same problems.

Why would you use another ORM? I've worked once in a project where a very opinionated dev lead "decided" SQLAlchemy was better than the django ORM, so he replaced it. The mess he created was unbelievable, we spent years clean

Agree, used it for about half a year at a previous job. It tries to copy everything from everywhere and creates too many ways to do the same thing. The ecosystem is a lot smaller and many times I ended up on issue comments or readmes in chi

You could say this of absolutely anything. Let's use assembler then so we know what we're doing. Oh no, wait, let's write the 0s and the 1s ourselves so we understand what the processor is doing. Even better, let's just

Honest question: Why browser's integrated password managers (such as chrome's) are not considered an option for most companies which ask you to use 1password, etc? Taking out of the equation that maybe google can read your passwor

The problem with pair programming, as with any other tool is when people read about it in a book and try to apply to 100% of the situations and the people as pure dogma. Several years ago I worked for a company where the "effective CTO

The sooner JavaScript haters assume there is no way around it, the better we'll all be. I do like a lot Livewire, Hotwire, Unpoly, HTMX, etc... but using these tools (or any backend language compiled to wasm, etc,etc) as a way to try t

I've worked 8+ years with Django and the last 2~3 years with Laravel. Other than the admin, I don't miss anything from Django. Laravel is so much better in almost every other aspect.

You still can write client side only JavaSCript with Unpoly compilers, alpine.js, and probably htmx also has a way to add custom javascript without making jquery spaghetti. A tool like this that rely on server rendering (or livewire, hotwir
