It's both Claude 4 Opus and the secret sauce that Claude Code has for UX (as well as Claude.md files for project/system rules and context) that is the killer I think. The describe, build, test cycle is very tight and produces cons

I recall watching a video on YouTube from the creator Paolo in Tokyo, and he mentioned that bread is now more popular than rice as a breakfast staple in Japan. Not sure how true it is though.

Storygraph is brilliant, but it really needs some UX love for things like viewing your book piles (read, to-read, dnf) etc. It's also quite slow, but I suspect that's just part of it being a smaller site.

I have never once trusted xcode to get provisioning profiles and certificates right. It's always manual for me, at least that way xcode won't suddenly tell my app is not registered to a team and refuse to build. I know it's n

Kebabs in Australia are basically a different food to the one you get in continental Europe. Good, but different.

I use underscore to prevent shadowing of variables names. Not sure where I picked up that habit though.

I agree, getting all the pieces together and having it be maintainable and enjoyable to work on is part of the craft. I enjoy the challenge, and have found a great niche for myself doing exactly that.

You don't have to follow hype when doing frontend, you can pick whichever technologies you want and stick with them for years. Part of being a good frontend lead is personally is not falling for the hype, and only adding packages I kno

These days web/mobile is implied by frontend. I'd say a very large proportion now work on these two compared to desktop.

I like the hardware aspect, it feels very intentional and deliberate for context switching.

It had quite a bit of dead space in the video, especially at the start. Recall the first switch trailer which was completely different stylistically.

Entirely subjective and I would disagree with dart. JSX is one of the most important things react ever popularised in the frontend space.

Same here, i've always wondered what other people see. An optometrist once said that I see everything as if viewing a tv screen through my eyes, but having no point of reference it looks normal to me. I am pretty bad at parallel parkin

Australia is a good counter example. We use preferential voting and haven't had a minority government, that is a government formed by coalition as the result of an election since 2010. We still typically have 2 major parties and 3-4 mi

Isn't that like saying that a "competent" woodworker has to know how to use handtools first before trying to build anything with power tools? What's the problem with starting from an elevated starting point?

I've deeply internalised that with flexbox, when using rows or columns that I need to visualise a row that holds multiple columns. And for a column, it's got multiple rows inside it. I literally have to visualise this in my head t

My experience mirrors this exactly. I loved WebStorm, but I can't use it anymore because Cursor is just a massive productivity booster for things like what you're describing. Claude 3.5 + Cursor has fundamentally improved my produ
