This was almost exactly my trajectory. It’s a shame cause Supabase is so close to being a slam dunk for me but this complicates it. Are you using S3 for storage or were you able to stick with Supabase and use upload complete callbacks to tr

Supabase looks so good and keeps getting better. I started playing with it a couple months ago and could see myself loving it. One of my biggest problems right now is inertia: I’m comfortable with my existing tools (RDS, S3, lambda) and thi

I remember looking closely at Elm in 2016. I was a year or two into being the first and only web-focused software engineer at a hardware startup. Working solo, moving fast, refactoring aggressively as we iterated and sought our product’s UI

I have not, no. When you say “componentizing”, what does that entail? Is it the ViewComponents gem? If someone reading this has experience with both TS+React and modern Hotwire apps, you’d do the world a service by writing a blog about mode

Never seen this before, it looks great! I wonder how well it handles Sorbet or RBS types. Any experience with it? What makes it far from perfect?

I dunno, I think that there are a lot of products and developers who need the view to be as important as the backend, and it would be a shame for Rails to stop trying to woo them. Rails is making a big push for Hotwire ( https://h

I started my professional career with Rails 8 years ago and deeply miss aspects of it. It uses lines of code so efficiently, letting you go from zero to product with outrageous speed. Everything is a solved problem. Ruby as a language is so

My father doesn’t learn UIs, he memorized steps to complete tasks. I guarantee this is how many elderly people operate. If a button’s position changes slightly, if there’s an added pop up or prompt before something he’s used to seeing, it c

I’m sorry you’re struggling with it, too. Everything there is familiar. Thanks so much for the advice, I’m going to check this out.

This is so familiar. So much of it.. Thank you so much for sharing. You’re really not alone. I feel like maybe we need a support group of sorts for adults who are trying to help their agent parents survive technology. It’s so much to deal w

This is a reasonable question. It gives him a connection to the world. He spends a lot of time watching YouTube videos about art and music techniques but he’s much more comfortable using his phone than computer. He’s been casually teaching

I hadn’t seen these but it could be a nice fit. Hands off management from my phone sounds fantastic. I’ve been a 1PW user for years so I might even get this for myself since it basically covers what I pay for my subscription anyway!

Great suggestions, thank you. The email piece especially. He’s a very light email user and he uses the iPhone Mail app, so he wouldn’t notice a difference. The hardest part would be explaining that he has a new address but I can probably ho

Huh! I’m such an app-averse, just-give-me-a-website guy, I didn’t even think about trying to push him towards apps. That’s a great idea. And yes, I have been entirely reactive to it. I’ve explained how these scams worked, reminded him to st

Dropbox’s omission is interesting. I’m using a large paid account to backup a few TB of data spanning many years. Is there something I should know? Losing it would be devastating.

I’ve read a decent amount about Tailwind and I really appreciate what it offers. I see all the claims of people who were unsure, tried it, and fell in love, and I don’t doubt their experiences. It seems great. The sad reality for me: I am v

This looks fantastic. I sometimes do audio mixing and I dread the day that I leave home for a session and forget to throw my iLok in my bag. I see someone’s already proven it works with that. Exciting!

My experience has taught me that when developers consistently use your tools “wrong”, it’s a sign that the tools themselves are the problem. The use cases described in this document outline common needs that shouldn’t be so easy to get wron

That last bit seems like a recommendation that should be in the docs. It’s sensible from a “don’t leave boobytraps” perspective but it won’t be intuitive to many people. It’s one more little rule to learn, another comment on a sizable chunk

My concern with using `key` for this is that it’s somewhat of a booby trap for future consumers of the component. It requires some kind of documentation that you need to hope they’ll read. TypeScript won’t help you. It’s not common enough t

I found this one very surprising. I’ve operated for years with the understanding that side-effects should never ever occur within the render flow. Complicated as hooks are, I dread having to explain the nuances of this particular one to oth

I love the way this response is written and agree with a lot of it, but I wonder if you are conflating the effusive press reaction to the technology with the reality of how it is most practically used right now. The press reaction screams “

What is the context? The tweet references “the PayPal removal” and this post remarks on “loss of PayPal support” but nothing shows up when I search. Was there a policy change or event?

Discovering music in the pre-gap before track 1 was my childhood equivalent of discovering a magickal incantation. In a world before mass use of the Internet, those who knew many of these secrets were our High Priests and Priestesses. I lov

I’ve been using an FM3 through a Fryette Power Station 100 into a 4x12 and it’s pretty awesome. I’ve only used it for rehearsals so far but it sounds better (subjectively) than my main tube amp. This to me is a good option for folks who wan

I really appreciate modeling in a recording setting, at least so far with metal tones. It gives me significantly more control, faster, without getting my head blown off by a 4x12, and without ever leaving my desk. And recall! A dream come t

Same! I recently acquired a Fractal FM3, the most basic floor version of their Axe FX3, and it won me over very quickly. I’ve been a tube amp purist for many years but this thing sounds so good and simplified my live and recording workflows

How did you settle on Elixir/Phoenix? Did you consider any other languages + frameworks?

I’m no expert but two things seem likely: 1. Genre popularity seems to move in cycles of trends. We’ll certainly look back at the Marvel eta as the time when “the nerds” took over and dominated media. My wife often remarks “I never thought
