I mean sure, as long as it runs on the server. Personally I feel JSX is way more expressive. The JSX I write runs on server side rendering to HTML. That way there will be no flash of unstyled content, cumulative layout shift, or any other j

Yeah, it does require some more boilerplate. I abstract some of it JSX, and with LLMs writing boilerplate code isn't that annoying anymore.

I don't see the need for Lit anymore. Lately I have just been raw dogging web components without any libraries. Having a nice templating system like JSX on the server makes it a breeze. Part of using web components, for me, is that it

Naive question: why not put the effort into building the RoR apps into a binary and run the all services with systemd? No need to deal with Docker and the entire ecosystem around it

Mistral doesn't seem to train on user data for the non-free models, but you can opt out on the free models. https://help.mistral.ai/en/articles/347617-do-you-use-my-use...

It's not Microsoft, which is kind of a big deal because they own so much of developer tool ecosystem right now

Counter argument: people want simple systems that are easy to update, secure, deploy etc. I've been burned so many times by being an early adopter of a simple product for it to add too many features and shifting focus along the way, l

The older I get the more skeptical I get to free services that run on others servers. They have a bunch of expenses and you are getting it for free. You are not the customer. I rather pay for a service than gamble on some free service that

Shouldn't we be worried about the internet being centralized to depend on LetsEncrypt? Imagine the shit show if the US government stopped LetsEncrypt from issuing certificates to every country outside of the US.

Unpopular opinion: we should treat the web sites less like apps and more like documents with forms. I'm so tired of devs trying to recreate the browser inside of the browser and all the bugs that comes with it

I had a coworker say this when quitting. Most people that knew the reference interpreted it in a negative way. I would not recommend using it because of how ambiguous it is

Back in 2018 I worked for a client that required we used Jira. It was so slow that the project manager set everything up in Excel during our planning meetings. After the meeting she would manually transfer it to Jira. She spent most of her

Personally I doubt we will see a huge centralized place like GitHub again. Trust in American companies, and big companies in general has been eroded. I think it would be for the better if it split off, and hopefully more devs decide to self

The human brain consumes as much energy as a incandescent light bulb. There are obviously something fundamental we don't understand yet. LLMs are neat, and throwing more energy on them seem to make them better, but it seems unlikely it

Too many people were "working" on the app (mainly non-developers, like marketing), so we got too much push back. I learned that a lot of gen-x love saying they are working on an app, even if they don't do design or programmin

At the last company I worked for we wanted to shut down our app to save expenses. The idea being that most people would just the website if we removed the app. It seems like you didn't gain anything by making an app, you just created m

What do you mean it was not theirs? The Soviet Union was dissolved and split into multiple states. Russia is not the Soviet Union, just another part of the former Soviet Union like Ukraine.

It makes sense if you consider there is a risk you might get kicked out by AWS because the US government force Amazon to close your account. The US is also hinting about going to war against Europe (Greenland), which makes a bad idea to hav

I see this as a win. It will hopefully prune the incompetent managers/leaders and all the other incompetent tech workers that don't understand there is a world outside of the Microsoft/Google ecosystem.

Most people and even most companies don't need horizontal scaling. Hardware has been much faster and cheaper since Heroku's heyday. Scaling vertically with 80+ cores on a single CPU and 256gb+ of ram only costs a few hundred dolla

At my last job (a billion dollar company) someone had set up some kind of proxy where one free user account was used by ~100 employees. We wanted some more features they didn't offer so we looked at some of their competitors. I was in

I'd say anything new in 2025 that involves working with the DOM that doesn't use web component is a waste. Lately I have been porting some old JS libraries (7+ years old) that still are visually impressive to web components, and i

I have argued with web editors about this. Most articles doesn't need an image. Period. The only need for the image is where the articles are listed and articles with interesting images are more likely to be clicked on. Finding good re
