Not sure how to feel about this! I’ve been known to use em dashes every now and then, but I am indeed a fellow human. I’m close to the vite plugin in particular and have contributed to multiple frameworks around cf integration (simply becau

Oh right, yeah I get what you're saying now. Indeed I think .astro templates make sense at the page level say to define a layout, and I actually like the syntax of stuffing the server js into a frontmatter style block, it's pretty
93.
by mpeg 9mo ago
Yeah, I know, but since by default the front-end islands are server-rendered with no hydration the lines are blurred between what you would use an .astro component for, and just using for example react. Personally I only ever use .astro com

Yes, that's part of the problem, deploying nextjs to cloudflare in the first place used to be an absolute nightmare, let alone the dev experience (I think it's better now)

by mpeg 9mo ago
To be fair, vite does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to supporting extra frameworks. If you look at the code required for astro to integrate with a new technology you'll see it's relatively straightforward. For example

On inter-island communication, I actually think less is more – I find a lot of the recent big features like this they have added unnecessarily constrain you to doing things a certain way, while the reason I liked Astro in the first place wa

by mpeg 9mo ago
The key difference between islands and what we used to do back in the day (js on a static page) is that with an islands approach you architect your site with a components-driven approach where everything encapsulates the js/css/ht

Same reason vercel buys open source... it makes cloudflare always a great deployment option for all Astro sites, which in turn helps cloudflare's core business. For example, Cloudflare released their vite plugin which makes it effortle

This is cool, I use astro when I just want to spin up a quick site without having to fight the framework (looking at you, Nextjs) and the main thing I disliked was the initiatives around paid extras they had going Astro and Tanstack are pro

This element has an autolocate attribute that will request permission automatically, plus it doesn't supersede the JS api, it simply provides a declarative alternative to it, so sites that follow this negative pattern will keep doing s

You can use a product and still be critical, especially when layoffs happen, truth is there are a lot of things we don't know about their finances – tailwind definitely is successful by any metrics, they have corporate sponsors that al

by mpeg 9mo ago
Yeah, I was referring more to the fact that tailwind didn't have that many other ways to monetise compared to other OSS projects. Their paid templates and courses kinda fulfilled their goal in that way, they made the founders wealthy,

by mpeg 9mo ago
Very good point, and I imagine part of the issue here... everything they sell is one-time payment, more of a reason they should have been preparing for the music to stop

by mpeg 9mo ago
I believe you, I'm just going out of the figures they have published. If they had "several times more" annual revenue, then not having a warchest for situations like this is puzzling.
105.
by mpeg 9mo ago
But surely the co-founders pay themselves too. I don't understand the logic in not counting them as part of the company.
106.
by mpeg 9mo ago
I think a problem is that tailwind has no moat compared to most of those. If it never received any further updates today it would still be effectively feature-complete, save for the occasional new css features.

Apparently they were 8+ people, in 2024 team size was 6 and were hiring 2 more [0] and in 2020 they had $2m+ ARR [1]. Honestly, while I feel bad for the people who lost their jobs the news aren't exactly surprising. Overhiring is a gam

They use a lot of open source libraries, yes, but I think it's about how much of the end product depends on the OSS tool/library. Studios using unreal engine probably don't use that much critical OSS directly – their licensed

Stardew is probably one of the most (if not the most) popular game ever made with MonoGame AAA studios don't really use MonoGame.

CF pages is built on top of workers, you can serve static html assets from either of them too.

Exactly this, I like to give the benefit of the doubt to people but pushing huge chunks of code this quickly shows the whole thing is vibe coded I actually don’t mind LLM generated code when it’s been manually reviewed, but this and a quick

thanks, claude, I guess haha as others have commented, I think while this is a nice portfolio piece, I would worry about its longevity as a vibe coded project

very nice, it'd be good to see a feature comparison as when I use mupdf it's not really just about speed, but about the level of support of all kinds of obscure pdf features, and good level of accuracy of the built-in algorithms f

Yes, but this is not a particularly high access level bug. Depending on the target, it's possible that the most damage you could do with this bug is a phishing attack where the user is presented a fake sign-in form (on a sketchy url) I

I think that's unfair to say about a company that pays bug bounties at all. A lot of other companies would have ignored the email for weeks or threatened legal action.

For a reflected XSS? Tell me who is paying that much for such a relatively common bug... To elaborate, to exploit this you have to convince your target to open a specially crafted link which would look very suspect. The most realistic way t

I really don't mean to attack you, I hope you will take these messages to heart and at least consider talking to a mental health professional. The writings in your substack are not a good look, regardless of whether your work is correc

You clearly don’t even speak the language and are just fishing for an argument. I have already explained why your comment is incorrect, have nothing else to say to you on that subject if you insist that the accent mark will completely chang

That’s not correct, the accent is simply there to know how to pronounce the word, and while in some specific cases (diacritic accent) it is there to avoid confusion in words that are pronounced the same with different meaning, the presence
