Can you give some examples? I feel like React is still pretty much just React, having developed with it for a decade now. Hooks was the only meaningful API (surface) change, no?

No. Browser dev tools are available, and make it pretty easy to do performance profiling, and get a flamegraph etc.. Just seems like the reality of things is that the number of extensions or widgets or whatever has remained low enough that

It just contrasts expectations of the unwashed masses with more professional writing. If most people are used to reading social media and texts from their friends and maybe subtitles for movies, an em dash is practically never going to appe

For instance, while I work in small teams, I’ve relied on Hasura GraphQL-Engine a lot for my api. This is a full GQL API automatically generated from your SQL schema, Postgres being the best supported DB. GQL relations are available across

Re: GQL - Explain to me what abstraction layer should exist between the data model and what data is loaded into the client? I’ve never understood why injecting arbitrary complexity on top of the data model is wise. Perhaps unfettered write

I mean, Canada has had a tepid response to the implosion of their neighbour and relations - I think they have done little outside some retaliatory tariffs and “committing” to a 10 year plan to double trade with non American partners. Is tha

Interesting callouts! Thanks

I think the title undersold it. I would call it "a nonexhaustive set of abuses of casting in TypeScript" I actually thought that calling out the `is` operator was useful, I have a generic utility method I call `filterFalsy` which

Please, bundling React with Next is completely foolish. React is open, battle-hardened, type safe, and well-documented, while Next is... a vendor lock-in trojan horse targeting low-knowledge developers with concepts that seem beginner-frien

Docs seem really underbaked. - where does the state and telemetry get stored? - if something is sleeping for 7 days, and you release a new version in that time, what is invoked? - how do you configure retries? Looks like it retries forever

Sounds interesting. Why wouldn’t the OS itself default to this behavior? Could it fall apart under load, or is it just not important enough to replace the legacy code relying on it?

I see now, those “decode” and “eval” are huge red flags that are downplayed heavily by the author. Cheers for the response

Well, for anyone using Vue you get automatic observability baked in, right? And reactive programming state management libraries within react are plenty popular, not to mention the built in state management being quite literally UI = f(state

Well, I think that it’s obvious on the face of it that managing human sewage instead of throwing it into the streets would be a better alternative, given that our own waste is toxic to us. The claim about “otherwise” should be sourced.

Sure, the dog is dirty. But our animal bodies evolved to live in the dirt, no? I believe it to be true that babies who grow up with dogs and are exposed to their "dirtiness" actually develop stronger immune systems. Here's th

Cool write-up. Seems pretty unintuitive to me that Unicode would allow someone to serialize normal code as invisible characters and that something like an IDE or a git diff has never been hardened against that at all. In my mind it's o

This type of dismissive attitude is so strange to me. The only reason "lifecycles magic + probably global_state" would be causing your app to behave unpredictably is - this is going to shock you - because you closed your mind to a

Surely you’re not saying the frameworks famous for ui = f(state) actually suck at managing state…

Sorry for the late response. I appreciate the perspective you are offering. I totally agree JS can be surprising, and actually I think the greatest skill a JS developer needs is to understand what things are powerful reliable and composable

Podcasts are horrible content slop that are appealing more because one can enjoy the parasocial relationship it offers rather than because the podcasters are insightful or informative.

As a Canadian... Canada is weak, poor, and corrupted by the same plague that has lead America to where it sits. The rule of law is holding on a bit tighter, and quality of life isn't as bleak as the States, but Canada needs some seriou

This is quite a large set of things to hand wave away with no additional justification. Makes it sound more like personal bias than meaningful insight
