Exactly, an extreme begets the opposite extreme.

“I can’t say anything to change the way you’re feeling” doesn’t sound like empathy to me.

I resent the judgmental attitude being expressed in some of the top comments. In the US at least, we’ve been socialized into believing workers need to “watch their manners” while corporations can get away with murder. Here, a worker is clea

There is a spectre haunting SPA frameworks… It’s a shame htmx wasn’t invented 10 years ago, but it makes sense that it’s bursting onto the scene now as a reaction to end-stage SPA mania. If htmx-like functionality gets rolled into browsers

I have experience with Django, and experience using Tailwind, but not Django and Tailwind together. In my opinion, if you like Django’s “batteries included” approach, you won’t enjoy using Tailwind. Bootstrap, while not trendy, comes with m

No problem, and thank you! For what it’s worth, I don’t think changing a political stance should be considered “flip-flopping” unless it’s done for a self-serving purpose. Reevaluating should be considered an attempt to learn and grow. That

I love it! And I’ll do you one better: US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, for all his faults (which are numerous), supported the 5-4 majority in a landmark case regarding flag burning. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Thank you! Retroactive shaming of anyone who was ever against your political position seems like some folks are devolving toward something even worse than cancel culture. The rudeness, as you put it, is not going to change my mind about the

This is one of the majors problems with completely locked-down platforms. Assurances that the owner of the platform respects your privacy and prevents others from violating it are really just a pinky promise.

I thought it was pretty clear from the context that I meant conformist in regard to HN, not Ohio. I also don’t think of myself as a hero by any means.

Thanks! Being a hacker and/or entrepreneur, even loosely defined, doesn’t imply you’re a conformist. In fact, I think what makes HN one of the most desirable places to engage with on the internet is that it’s less of an echo chamber th

Who decides if life begins at conception? Usually it’s fundamentalists and extremists who insist on that, and as a mainstream Sunni Muslim, I’ve not heard convincing evidence that Jewish, Christian, or Muslim texts support that position. In

The second paragraph regarding abortion is terrifying: > The revelation raises grave medical privacy concerns, particularly in a post-Dobbs era in which many states are working to criminalize reproductive health care. Even if people in s

This looks great! I love having the ability to bring existing React/JSX knowledge and be productive with VanJS, while also ditching the transpilation and build tool wildness that has afflicted the ecosystem. React and JSX were needed i

I’m really not against touchscreens, but cramming more and more functionality into them, indiscriminately, is deplorable and just not good UX/UI. I’m very far from being a usability expert, but I think a good rule of thumb would be put

Even the small area argument is questionable; yes, cars these days have more functionality than they did in 1993, but the center console has also gotten progressively larger.

I would argue the “more capable” frameworks, while invented with the best of intentions, have become unmanageable, unmaintainable monstrosities that just keep rolling out, as you put it, solutions in search of a problem. htmx is not meant t

Not related to number of PMs, but rather the type that I prefer to work with: I’ve worked at 4 different companies in the industry, ranging from < 40 person startups all the way up to JP Morgan Chase. I reject the idea that “technical” f

Astro needs a better elevator pitch. I spent several minutes on the site, clicking and scrolling, but sample code was minimal and not easy to find. This is not effective marketing in 2023. If a developer has no idea what developing with you

There is a very intense backlash against technology like React, due to the unbelievable complexity that has crept into building “modern” JS apps. This backlash is quite understandable. I believe Ember/React/Vue/Angular/e

I don’t know if I would “never look back” to Django (I’m a sentimental person). But admin is one aspect, the other big one is auth. I also like DTL better than EEx/HEEx. And all the pieces of Django just fit together really nicely; whe

There is a header that htmx injects to indicate you want a partial render, and it’s really not that hard to add an if on the server-side to check for it. A larger codebase would probably break templates up anyway for maintainability, so it’

Yes, jQuery is often derided as outdated, but it worked quite well for a very long time, with minimal hassle for developers. In fact, I was working full-time on static Elixir/Phoenix pages with jQuery sprinkled on top as late as 2022…

If you want a heavyweight JS framework, Ember is the most stable and best supported. I enjoyed Ember when I used it in the 2015-2017 time frame. But I’m abandoning the heavy JS paradigm in favor of htmx. Aside from the fact that I don’t wan

Not who you’re asking, but I’ve used all 3. I think in terms of query interface you can’t go wrong with any of them. In fact, I like Ecto the most because of its separation between the concept of a “Query” (super flexible and composable) vs

Django made me fall in love with programming 13 years ago, and since then it has always had a special place in my heart. I’m revisiting a business idea I was working on for a couple years, before I sought and found employment in the industr
