It really depends. For high-level strategic conversations, I use Fable. For planning, I use Opus or Sol. Sol is generally preferred; it’s faster, cheaper, and less verbose. But I still find Opus more capable on the most nuanced or complex t

Claude is very good at design IF you encode your design system/specs into skill files (or similar). Opus 4.7 made this a practical approach. 4.8 improved it. Fable 5 has improved it more.

Thanks for sharing, that’s an interesting framework. The self-closing tags are very nice. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything public to show at the moment. Maybe I’ll blog about the approach some day.

Yes, though often I’ll omit the tag, and just target [slot=“hero-blurb”]. Depends on the situation.

I've been doing this for about three or four years. Clever idea, tricky in practice. I don't think I'd recommend this approach broadly. But it works for me. It's definitely possible to take it too far. When most tags in

AI's superpower is doing mediocre work at high speed. That's okay. Great, even. There's lots of mediocre work to do. And mediocre still clears below average. But! There's still room for expertise. And this is where I dis

If the gamification is fully disclosed, I don't see the problem. People should be able to agree to game themselves, if it helps them complete a task they otherwise wouldn't finish. But consent is key. Maybe we need regulation that

Server-side JS is fine, and actually very nice in some contexts. The language and runtime(s) have come a long way. But anyone who tries it without really understanding JS is eventually going to have a bad time. It’s important to know how to

I believe you’ve just described the RISC-V project, though I could be mistaken.

"Innovation" in this context does not mean cutting-edge technology. It just means changing processes to deliver better results. The tech is often the easy part, and there's plenty of room for boring software. The hard part is

The Bun libraries made it very easy to create my own static site generator. Not a huge lift, I know, but it’s been a delight to work with.

I would probably spend an hour or two just writing something like that. On the surface, I'd agree. With that said, in my experience, many stand-up formats devolve into some version of "the two most talkative people have a conversa

I would recommend community college to smart kids without direction. It’s a great place to explore subjects without going into debt.

It's really clear to me. (And I did account for the subsequent README commits since your comment). But that's probably because I already know Web Components well. I'm in the market. In the following line... > Hyphen - A cu

If you're using browser APIs to do lean local interactions, then good for you. Gold star. Fully approved. That's not what I've been seeing recently from the people around me who are most excited about this stuff. And you&#x27

Not much of an assumption. Many local-first solutions work from a big wad of JS. I've seen use of WASM to include things like SQLite. It's not pretty. My point is that if you're in danger of losing your internet connection, y

Ah yes, let's ask people on spotty connections to download a (likely) megabytes-large JavaScript bundle. What could go wrong? Most of my users have old phones and bad connections. I've tried this JS-heavy bundle-first approach. It

My team manages several static sites. They're each hundreds/thousands of pages in size. Here's why we like faster builds. * Fast builds are way more pleasant during development. "Incremental" per-article builds help

Sometimes, but not enough. Everyone tries to write web components like it's "Open Standards React Lite". And the results are as poor as expected. Web components are superficially similar to React/Angular/Vue, but ve

When you see this, it’s a sign that someone built their web components with React/Angular/Vue on the brain. The tech is fine. You can achieve amazing progressive enhancement with web components by understanding and effectively usi

It feels like Xbox also serves as a reference controller for PC. Viewed from that angle, basic and conservative makes sense. I still really like the XBox controllers for their ergonomics. They’ve been refining that same basic design for a l

The only metric that matters for most typists is familiarity. That's why Qwerty has dominated for over 150 years. But I'm pretty sure my typing needs as a programmer in 2023 are different from the typing needs of a telegraph trans

Same exact thing here. If it's split and tented, I type Dvorak. If it's flat, I type Qwerty. Full speed, no thought.

Even with a Japanese wife, Japanese fluency, fondness for rural Japan, a career in remote work, and a flair for home renovation, I still have no interest in buying one of these houses. It’s a huge job to fix up most of these homes.

The person featured in the article has posted a lot of great videos on YouTube (one of them is embedded in the article). He’s very honest about the challenges, and it doesn’t look easy.

It really depends upon the product, right? Let's assume we're talking about a web-based business app. If the MVP already requires some complex business logic, then I'd probably choose an old-school stack. I personally prefer
