Note that we're talking about an edge case for an authoring error - applying two conflicting styles to an element does not make sense, it has no defined behaviour, and is correctly flagged by linting tools as such. Should Tailwind real

What kind of design drift do you mean? You set `--color-surface` in your theme once, then all surfaces in the app use the same color with `bg-surface`, regardless of the theme authoring parts of it. I don't know how you could enforce

I would even say the answer is... however round "large rounded" should be . Tailwind doesn't force arbitrary opinions on these things upon you - it's a set of utilities to enforce your design system. If rounded means 6r

Interesting, I didn't know that project yet! I'll give it a thorough read.

That is kind of my point, though—you don't need tailwind-merge, really. There are two cases it solves: One, adding classes from the outside to an encapsulated component with its own, internal classes, to make sure the outside-applied

This is such a bikeshedding debate. While you don't recommend it, projects with Tailwind work . Over years. You can onboard new developers to it, able to contribute productively immediately . Likewise, you can pick up work after mont

I've got news for you - this is how we've protected teenagers since forever in the real world! What do you think age restrictions on movies, casinos, or porn are for? Why do you think children have to be home before a certain time

Amazing! This is something I wanted to look into too. The Apple Foundation models SDKs are surprisingly cool. I recently started working on a personal productivity app that tries to keep track of all the projects I work on, and the ideas an

We manage to do this for endangered wildlife too without anyone counting every single specimen; why shouldn’t we be able to estimate how rare a book is?

Pretty much all tools developers use to write code format code to some extent while editing, but often with individual configuration knobs or default settings that are different between all ICs. Having a single tool that runs before committ

You will find that pretty much every rule we have in any possible context will have some exceptions that are justified under some conditions. Taking that as a reason to not have those rules in the first place seems like a logical fallacy th

I can - in fact, I have to, a lot more than I'd like - when someone makes changes with different code style settings in their IDE or tooling, and that affects unrelated parts of the code, and suddenly the PR contains tons of code that

Good lord, that this is necessary is so depressing.

Yeah, maybe - but you know what one of the perks of not working for FAANG is? Not working for FAANG. Some people prefer having a spine over selling their integrity. There’s heaps of opportunity for doing interesting work in a less toxic env

Then again, looking back, that’s the way history is made. Modern democracies in the west are built on foundations of slavery and colonialism; yet we cherish them as to all the greatness they have brought as well. We need some amount of tol

That is the exact problem that got me to abandon my splendidly working, self-hosted email stack. I had so many instances of mail just not getting delivered, despite doing absolutely everything correctly, that I gave up.

It won't. That's the point many people don't seem to get: The people who wanted everything that is happening now don't just go away. There is no guarantee they won't vote for a narcissistic grifter again, and thus a

There is no "West" anymore, at least not in the sense it was used in the last 50–70 years. There is now Europe/Canada/Australia on the one side, and the USA as an adversary on the other, and that won't change in the

That's a straw man, obviously: I didn't talk about building your own database, but setting up PostgreSQL and pgBackRest, two well-defined, and thoroughly documented applications. With coding agents available, you don't need

by 9dev 2mo ago
We just might—not everyone works in SV. The 6k are a single database out of a vastly bigger pool of expenses, so unless you’re funded with six to seven digits from the start, it’s not nothing. At least in Europe, shelling out 300 grand on a

Well yeah, you can apply that to most problems you encounter as a company - there are service providers for pretty much anything you can imagine. That doesn't mean it's smart to spend a huge chunk of your revenue on OpEx, however.

by 9dev 2mo ago
If expending 6k per year on your database alone sounds reasonable to you, we have very different perspectives on a good use of investor funds. We’re not talking about maintaining your own k8s cluster here mind you, but a basic Postgres setu

That was not quite the point I was making, which is that the equivalent RDS setup would come in at around ten times of that .

It’s really not that hard, especially with an AI agent to help you. Running a Postgres server and a read replica in Hetzner with pgBackRest backing up to their S3 buckets and a cloud volume can be had for under 50€, has HA, PITR, 3-2-1 back

That is one clever metaphor. Thank you, I might steal it.

I never really understood these complaints about the standard library, that's not what makes a language really. Yes, it's ugly, yes, it carries 30 years of baggage, but it's PHP the language that allows you to interact with
