While RXJS definitely still has a role in the Angular ecosystem, a lot of what RXJS used to do is being handled by signals in the newest versions.

After all this time, React's sheer tonnage of boilerplate still astonishes me. That abstraction leaks like useMemo(…) even need to exist in the first place… Folks want to solve their own problems, but they keep getting saddled with Rea

Well, React certainly has succeeded in increasing the client-side complexity, that's for sure. They seem to be making good inroads on increasing server-side complexity as well. Kudos to their contributions to excess CO2 emissions! I ha

More like React scrambled to add a feature to check a box in a comparison chart with the upstarts no matter how cumbersome or disruptive the API changes ended up relative to existing codebases. The new frameworks were poised to eat React&#x

In fairness, PHP prior to v7 was either a dumpster fire or a dirty bomb depending on how far back you go. When folks called it a fractal of bad design, it 100% deserved it, and folks rightly went looking elsewhere to solve their problems. P

You want to use substantially less RAM and therefore reduce the number of instances/containers you need to serve requests, thereby non-trivially reducing infrastructure costs? Or you're on AWS moving toward a more event-driven or

Have you tried SvelteKit yet? I can't say it lacks magic, but that magic is focused on eliminating boilerplate, not hiding where everything is coming from and going to. It is jarring at first when you look at your code and say, "W

Ever walk around in a crowd in a foreign country? I mean one quite distant and distinct from your own? You bump, cut off, and get off frequently due to having a different rhythm and patterns than everyone else. It doesn't matter how co

Chrome, Opera, and Edge all now use the same engine. The mobile world has a strong showing from Mobile Safari, but the desktop world is far more… homogeneous. Desktop Safari made a run from 10% to 14% in the last year. Firefox went from 9%

Not this again. Check the n-values on this study, aka the number of observed subjects. To "throwawayfear", cherry-picking studies doesn't make it so.

Could you expand on this a bit? For context, I am also an Aurora user. I have on occasion used the functions to invoke lambdas and IAM auth, but 99.9% of the time, it's just stuff that comes with Postgres. I'm honestly curious as

First off, a long-lived transaction is separate from a long-lived socket connection. They may correlate, but that's conflating two very different issues. One could always use MySQL like HTTP; make a connection, authenticate, request a

There have always been interesting aspects to custom elements seamlessly integrated into the DOM of browsers, but let's be honest, the current API is… shall we say somewhat unwieldy. Little known fact: adding one line of code turns you

> Neither is more "correct". Both have pros and cons. I think frontend state management is a completely legitimate choice if it fits your use case.

It's not enough to be a novel approach. It also has to be demonstrably better from a performance standpoint, a developer experience standpoint, or arguably both. Frameworks like SolidJS and Svelte simply got rid of the virtual DOM and

The frontend has… a browser. It's a much more constrained toolbox. You are forced to use JS and whatever browser APIs made available to you. The server side is only limited by what can run in a datacenter. Any language. Any service typ

Seriously, try Svelte. See how its Stores API works. For bonus points, look at the Context API. Between Stores, Context, and what looks like plain ole JS in the component, state management is a solved problem. With all due respect, calling

Not if you're a backend engineer. Then again from their point of view, they consider frontend state management to be a hopeless mess. Takes all kinds.
