JSX is just sugar around JavaScript, and interops nicely with it. I'm okay with that. The more I write JSX, the better I become at the programming language I'm using. Concepts and patterns in JS can be adopted in my components. If

I consider this example fundamentally broken, in a non-obvious way that reflects, in my opinion, a poor API choice. <script> let numbers = $state([1, 2, 3, 4]); function addNumber() { numbers.push(numbers.length + 1

Used Astro for a pro bono project. Found it fantastic, well documented, provides solutions for the hard parts, gets out of the way for the easy parts. Documentation is well written, but I find I don't need it much because mostly it wor

The Crown Estate is where the sovereign grant comes from, and it's weird. It's "owned" by the current monarch, but only in their role as head of state (the Crown). Realistically it belongs to the country and to the publi

Came here with that exact quote in my clipboard. I have a medical background prior to software, and one of the key learnings there is that wherever there is scope for a human to make a mistake, that mistake will (eventually) be made. It&#x2

Here's a short list of things the current citizens of England didn't do: - Genocide against the people who lived in America - Bring India to its knees, from one of the richest to one of the most impoverished nations in the world -

Will watch the TED talk, thanks for sharing. I come at this from a medical/epidemiological background prior to building software, and no doubt this shapes my view on the language we use around experimentation, so it is interesting to h

Most experience with DynamoDB, which isn't without challenges, and has a steepish learning curve to get the most out of it. I work in pre-market fit startup though, so hyper-scaleability is not really a consideration right now, and wou
