I'd be more than happy to see small or medium projects and how these tips improved them. Any real world examples would be great. I would also add that a lot of us do work on the bigger projects, which makes sense as bigger projects req

In some sense I agree, I am very mindful of the dependencies I add and I am not afraid to write something custom if that better fits the situation. But this article is not showing me how to do that and the things listed are not going to hav

If they did I'd honestly love to get the details and be proven wrong. With just this list it's hard to imagine how this would work. The only scenario where I can sort of imagine it being potentially helpful is an agency setting wi

Good old times, I used to have a file watcher that would refresh the page on change using a browser extension, not anywhere near the convenience of HMR though haha. I do agree with you, it's why I'm skeptical about the results of

Thats great. Show us!! What projects, is it 8 devs per project or total, what was the impact, any downsides? Nothing is more convincing than real world success stories.

This is fun in to theory and in simple examples, but show me a big project that applies this and how it made a difference. There are some bold objectives at the start that would be wonderful, but I’m a bit disappointed by the advice. I real

In terms of tooling Python is a mess. Poetry is indeed quite good, but it still has issues. I think what python misses is things like cargo, go and npm (dare I say it..), tools that handle packages and run your app in context, making that t

I use copilot all the time, it’s really useful, but I do also think it’s overhyped a bit. It’s quite good at boilerplate, simple functions and repetitive things (let’s say you need to write all fields of a struct). Another scenario where I’

I can't find an equivalent for Go. https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc and https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc look nice, but they are doing codegen, definitely not as sleek as Rust sqlx. I guess i

I've been looking at Rust and Go and I understand their point. Rust is amazing but can be really challenging. It's easy to start building something, then followed by a long period of lots of frustration and wondering if I can ever

by codeptualize 3y ago
Very much agree with this. I really like how sqlx (on rust) does it. You just write normal SQL queries, and it will check and validate the types against your db. Best of both worlds.

Even though I have no clue what this binder thing is or does I quite enjoy reading well written docs like this.

To me this article and demo shows why we use SPA's, and how much modern frameworks actual do for you. It's hard to not see a whole lot of very basic problems in this demo that any modern framework would solve out of the box. The &

Cool! wasn't aware. Then it is even more relevant for the article to cover this.

Very true, I think that might be on purpose (it's an interesting topic https://www.nngroup.com/articles/ui-accelerators/ ). Do agree that this one is too hard to discover, Apple doesn't really highlight i

Why does this not mention long press on the spacebar on ios? It largely solves this problem. Long press on spacebar, keep it down and move around to move the cursor. While dragging tap with a second finger to start selection mode.

My whole point is that usability is not about small details but the ability to complete a task. The big picture. I don't use windows, I don't like it, but if [it being impossible to tell which window is focussed] doesn't impe

No, I don't use A/B tests for usability as they aren't very helpful to find usability problems. A/B testing is more for conversion optimization, it's to measure how persuasive something is. User testing is my prefer

The article states that usability is declining, the arguments to back that up are: things are somewhat inconsistent and I don't like [some UI patterns]. My point is that the claim is wrong, and the arguments don't support it and h

There is a misconception that consistency == usability. It's an important part of usability but there is a lot more to it. Tunnel vision on consistency (or anything really) doesn't lead to good outcomes. The big picture is what ma

I’m not too worried about that as I assume it’s not (just) the public but also lobby groups and industries who have an interest in this. It’s not that hard to explain what would happen and any politician will understand doing something like

You see this time and time again, some initiative to "just introduce some backdoors, what could go wrong", and then it takes some time for people who understand what it actually means to convince them that it is in fact a really b

The last release of jQuery was last week. It's no longer popular, but still maintained and used. Even if this happens to React, it means it will still be maintained and stable for at least another 15 year. I also think React will evolv

by codeptualize 3y ago
The problem is the part where you think about the framework instead of what you are building! For 15 years: My bet is on React, see the amount of apps currently build on React, see multiple large companies backing it, see the #huge ecosyste

It depends a bit on what you are building. For most LLM apps I wouldn't use a library like that. Just write some code. Some examples; - Prompt templates: You can just use f-strings, ninja, or whatever templating language - Getting LLM

Don't get discouraged, FE is amazing, and it's only getting better imo. It's just a small number of grumpy developers stuck in the past who don't get it, just see them for what they are, wrong and ignorant. The most opti
