I sense sarcasm, but in case my sense is off, there is a webapp which allows you to log into your lastpass account and webapps are known to sometimes have security issues.

Reading the comments here there's one possibility that I haven't seen mentioned in that there may be an issue with lastpass allowing some level of access into people's accounts without actually having the password (which woul

Quick note that apple allows you to download a recovery code and disable all other account recovery mechanisms which I found incredibily soothing.

The overall experience feels (and is) faster as you only need to update the DOM, not recreate it from scratch, so you're not rerendering the whole page. There's also less processing required on the server as you're only reque

Alfread looks great, congrats. I'm going to give it a spin, but I would desperately need a web app to go with the iOS one. I usually just open a myriad tabs on my computers and my phone and hope I recall there was something I meant t

I've seen server-side rendered websites that took several seconds to return a page, while not being under any particular load. How is that different? Of course a static html file will load instantly and likely not cause any issues, but

Agree on all counts except instant loading, you can still do server-side rendering (from the same codebase as the client) and have the client library bootstrap/hydrate its state from it.

Since you mention autocomplete, dealing with forms is a lot better from both a development perspective and UX, ie complex forms being validated client side (as well as server side, of course) and getting instant feedback. Modals. Having slo

I know this is likely to be controversial, but JS improves the user experience a lot, both in terms of interaction and speed, as well as making development more manageable (if used correctly), alas at the expense of annoying purists who wou

I second this. A portrait monitor does wonders for coding (for me); My office setup consists of two portrait monitors plus my laptop screen in the middle and this works very well when multiple repos are open at the same time. I tend not to

Crypto doesn't seem much different from other technologies facing regulation - there seems to be a tendency to fit square pegs (new technologies) in round holes (existing regulatory frameworks), hence the worries that regulators will m

I wanted to like tailwind, but the html/tsx became so bloated and unreadable that I actually begun appreciating scss modules more. Separation of concerns and all that jazz.

Correct. I’m not American and not subject to them, but I believe people should make their own decisions, while the protection offered by the state should come in the form of education and catching bad actors. Restricting access is a form of

Some investments would turn out to be scams and the cheated would decry the lack of oversight, so rigorous oversight is what they got —- since you’re not rich enough to handle risk, we’re going to prevent you from taking any at all. So yeah

There are developers out there that look like you and me, use the same tools and speak the same (programming) languages, yet have absolutely no concept of access control. I feel there's an enormous education/awareness gap when it

This is pretty cool. On a related note, Chrome makes it easy to "move" your open tabs from one device to another via history / tabs from other devices / open all, which is very helpful if you tend to open a ton of links
