Love it. It's different and the retro windows vibe doesn't feel too overwhelming. One nit, clicking on configuration brings up the page as as overlay, which is a bit hard to read on mobile devices. Tested on iPhone 14 PM safari.

Every brutalist site is lowJS site but not every lowJS site is brutalist.

I meant the comment section. Plenty of people have shared their personal sites here and it's delightful to go through them.

I've been following Simon on every platform under the sun for the past few years and learned so many bits and pieces of tricks from his content. IDK how you write so many high quality stuff at such a fast pace while also doing a signif

The rough edges on the site reminds of the good ol' 90s web which I never experienced. My experience with the early web is limited to the Wayback Machine. I went with an off-the-shelf, single-column theme and build mine on similar prin

I immediately turned on Safari reader mode on my phone. It's a life saver to battle these nuisances.

I like single column multi page blogs where folks just list out a bunch of heartfelt pieces they wrote about something and fired it into the aether. This UI maximalism is like Marvel movies—tons of CGI and fancy visuals with poor storytelli

People conflate brutalist design with user hostile UI. If a site doesn't wrap properly one a decent phone, it's user hostile. The brutalist moniker mostly means low-JS and less formulaic sites that aren't SEO optimized to the

Lol, a blog about the brutalist design on an excesssivist site.

Love how many of the sites listed here have brutalist low-JS design. The only thing I despise more than the new social media focused internet is, JS-heavy blogs containing one post that explains how that monstrosity was created. Then after

The biggest reason I stick with Chrome is how easy it is to resume your work on a new machine. You just log into your Google account and boom, all of your data and extensions start syncing in the background. With Firefox, I've to log i

These people's currency is the clout. They'll intentionally fire away a controversial opinion and then see their work from a corner as the rest of world loses their collective shit.

Since you're a junior engineer, I'd highly suggest to ignore the hype and focus on the fundamentals of software engineering. I don't know what segment of software you're into, but in general, you'll always need the

Lots of great content here. Thanks OP. Here's mine: https://rednafi.com/ I regularly write & rant about Python, Go, SQL, and the broader spectrum of SWE in general.

Huh! Unless you're using semaphores, you can also recreate similar situation with threads. Spin up a whole bunch of threads and send all of them towards some shared object or make 100s of requests with them. There's not much diffe

I'd argue that this is quite tunnel visioned since here are large Python codebases that are busy printing money for these huge SaaS companies while I'm writing this comment. Whether we like it or not Javascript and Python have won

I was actually waiting for this comment to pop up. Unfortunately, it's not so black and white as it seems. The service in question is deeply coupled with a Django monolith and rewriting that will be mostly a waste of time for a medium

Yep. Our entire stack is primarily based on Python. Rewriting microservices in a faster language seems tempting in theory but in practise there are so many hurdles that sometimes, in medium term, micro-optimizations really pay off.

I'd suggest following Bret Cannon's Syntactic Sugar series. It's an awesome overview of what goes behind different Python data structures. https://snarky.ca/tag/syntactic-sugar/

I don't use Windows but this still happened to me with my XPS 15 2020. I put it in sleep and shoved it in a bag while going on a hike. Fortunately it was only an hour hike and I could literally feel the heat emanating from the machine

Recently, I came across the podcast on Talk Python where you talked about Dogsheep and Datasette. Dogsheep looks amazing and I can definitely get behind your philosophy of SQLite for everything.

This is true. I primarily write research code as well as some code that goes to prod. I love writing Python for exactly the reason you've mentioned. If something that needs to be re-written in a "proper" language, we've
