Some differences- There's lots of times in my work when I will read minified JS code to debug a stack trace. Using the "Pretty Print" option it's not too bad. So I'm glad it's there. Also transparency is not ju

Another feature (like WASM itself) which will probably be misused to create pages that are less usable and responsive than before. There are very good reasons why the language of the web is non-blocking.

But third party accessories are an essential part of any project these days, they aren't optional or afterthoughts. In that page they mention docker-compose.yml as once example. Most likely it's impossible (in its current state) t

it's fun that the online community is getting a crash course in how protests and strikes actually work. As people have known since forever, a strike needs to be all-in or else it's too easy for the company to replace them with str

Yeah totally agree. And the whole thing about infinite Seinfeld getting banned from Twitch was also good enough to be fiction. It’s a wonderfully bizarre future we’re living in.

Yeah I think it's mostly a piece of fun trivia at this point. If we're talking about designing an interface for non-technical users to interact with the data (an interesting topic), then a modern one would probably look more like

For just flipping the switch, no I don't think there's any implication. For installing an unpacked extension: - Obviously you don't have the benefit of the Chrome store checking for abuse. - You'll need to read the manif

Yeah, adding try/catch around those has been a good practice for a while. I think there was a time when, if the site was running in a private window in Safari, localStorage would also throw exceptions.

When it comes to AI replacing jobs the biggest wonder I have is.. why is there so much talk and attention on replacing software jobs first? Software work is fairly high skill and hard to replace. Every hour that a software dev spends doin

One of the things that makes frontend dev a nightmare is having to wrangle so many different tools and configurations to build a site, even a simple one. The only next step to improve the situation is all-in-one tools. We're lucky that

Another thought on careers, I think parenthood is also a good gateway into management level roles. You get practice being the boss at home and that skill translates. A lot of work problems are very similar to dealing with angry toddlers.

Ah, good times. On the topic of boxes, if you start building things with them, the best way to attach boxes together is using a hot glue gun. Don't use tape!

Agree about not implicitly finding the join key. But as long as we're brainstorming imaginary features, then maybe as part of the schema, we could somehow declare the default join key to use, for any given two tables. In most cases it&

Graphql is great. With Jest, that project feels a little abandoned because the Typescript support (ts-jest) is pretty janky and has bad performance. Meanwhile in the ecosystem in 2022, it's becoming the norm to have first-class Typescr

The question is, are we seeing that bad behavior because there is something inherent about the platform that encourages it, or are we seeing more with Node just because that community is enormous. Because people love to bring up is-even as
