I've seen this be a hit and miss. My previous product manager has a technical background and moved into production management because he thought product managers suck, and wanted to be a force for good. He was one of the best product m

I guess anything is an implementation detail depending on what level we're talking about, but each layer is constrained by the "previous" layer in some ways, and we're working within those constraints. Sometimes we have

DOM interactions (read, writes) are synchronous, they're very slow, and it must happen on the main thread. This can cause the browser tab to freezing if access and updates aren't carefully "curated" (ie you don't wa

When I last used it, as a type system it was much better than TypeScript. A lot of flow features now exist in TypeScript though too. One big annoyance with Flow I had is like you said: unpolished tooling. Another was frequent breaking chang

It's possible that internal SWC version will be versioned alongside Node, meaning TS syntax support won't drift. Or am I missing something?

Most of this is solid advice, but I disagree with some of the `useRef` stuff. Refs are an escape hatch for things that can't be modeled with React's existing reactivity features. As a rule of thumb: only use them when interacting

I know I'm being a bit negative with regards to ESLint, but I'd just go with BiomeJS these days. It's faster and more sensible with its default lints. And to boot it comes with a very sensible (and Prettier compatible) format

I was thinking of adopting UUIDv7 for some of my stuff. So, I'm curious: why is this the case? Is it because of the time component?

All of these are lessons learned from previous iterations. Also, some of these were probably in development for a while. If you're close to finishing a product, do you just stop and abandon months of work just because a challenger appe

Rsbuild has been really nice to use. I migrated a bunch of webpack projects to Rsbuild and it reduced config, and improved DX. One of my favourite features is probably that it understands a tsconfig file: https://rsbuild.dev&#x2F

Isn't accidental complexity just complexity that's not part of the problem domain? Say in the context of serving content/downloads, accidentally complexity would be caching, proxies, CDNs (etc). Basically stuff that we have t

I've experienced this too, but I never understood why this phenomenon happens. Is it because we start adding abstractions before we understand the problems? Like, there's a certain threshold where keep things too simple makes them

My 2c on the whole React and complexity situation: it's not great, but at the same time it's not as bad as someone people make it sound. Things _can_ be done in a simple way. The issue with React is that it's just a library,

Yes, that's true of TypeScript in general. Code that fails type checking still gets emitted as JS. It's a bit annoying, but there's good reason for it. However, it can be controlled with compilerOptions.noEmitOnError (can be

The TypeScript portion is a little bit wrong. Return position void in TypeScript means the value is unobserved by the caller, not that it's undefined. It's subtly different.

I feel like it's a bit weird they didn't mention Rsbuild. Rsbuild is a "nice" wrapper around Rspack and SWC. It's probably more holistic/batteries included than Farm, from a cursory glance. Rsbuild also aims to
