   Another option I forgot as it's so far away from my world; .NET, they have Xamarin and I think they just released .NET MAUI. That would be C# or F#. It's not my jam, but it's def cross platform and used quite a bit afaik.

   For UI I do think JS is your best option atm. You don't have to write JS to generate JS, you can use Typescript or go more exotic to things like Rescript. In terms of CSS; you'll need some form of styling in whatever language, the

   I'm currently building an mvp using Supabase & Next.js (FE & api routes). I can definitely recommend. My main reason is speed; you can move very fast, and lots of the "boilerplate" stuff is handled out of the box. I d

   Really nice! Very clean design, and I really appreciate the details and finish; drag and drop reorder, the time diff based on selection, the reset button after changing time, subtle colon "second" animation on current time. Well d

   I would describe it differently; deep vs wide knowledge. I think having both skills is ideal; be able to quickly get things done, but also be able to acquire deep knowledge when necessary. T-shaped skills. In reality I think there is no cle

   That's not less complex, that's moving complexity to a different place with different problems and constraints.

   I disagree with the premise, things have gotten a lot simpler. I think you need to make distinction between website and web application. The latter came later and is by definition a lot more complex, I assume this is mainly where the premis

    I think the point is that they write their UI once. There will always be platform specific parts, but those are a lot smaller if your UI is shared between platforms.

    I think people still use Ionic, which uses Cordova or Capacitor for native. There are certainly use cases for it but also many downsides, it's mainly just hard to get the UI right.

    I don't see why that wouldn't be possible, they are still using React Native so they still can use native functionality where necessary.

    Lots and lots of practice. Your first designs are going to be horrible, no way around it, just keep going, compare, reflect, learn, and things will get better over time. If you can get feedback from experienced designers that will help a lo

    Seconded. This is a great starting point.

    I think it's mostly a confidence thing. Let me write out some facts: - You can obviously program pretty well with some 10 years of experience - You know one language very well - You have made (side) projects in a different language so

    I would be fine with that, if it's a reasonable price of course. Now their software is really cheap considering the alternative options.

    My guesses: Some sort of collaboration and UI focussed features to compete with Figma, maybe even an online version, probably paired with a subscription model of some sorts, and a video/animation app. I'm quite excited for this as

    I switched to Proton a few months ago, I quite like it. The outage a while back and this do worry me a little bit, but for me it's not enough to switch as I don't use the bridge, it has worked really well for me, and don't re

    To give a different perspective; these changes actually make me consider giving it another go.

    Wow! I think regardless of the junior this is a failure on the authors part not to handle this internally and instead write this blog post. He could have mentored the new guy, and he could have taken it as an opportunity to reflect on his t

    I think they describe well that Typescript needs a lot of complexity by supporting all of JS. That's both a strength and a weakness, easy to get started for people who know JS, but typings can get crazy complex. Rescript has a differen

    As with all design you can have the discussion if there are better alternatives, but it's not that crazy to design it like this considering most old physical calculators don't have a backspace button. They have C and CE (or AC) bu

    What this article misses is that a lot of these features are shortcuts for things that are not essential or you could achieve in other ways. These are generally referred to as accelerators, and are by design harder to discover as they are t

    That whole market was Photoshop and Illustrator for a long time. That changed because of better and cheaper alternatives (like Sketch). They have tried and failed to get it back and now seem to have given up on competing and just bought the

    I work great laying down, either on a couch, comfy chair, or even bed. I find it's most comfy in a slouching position so the laptop has the right angle and you don't have to hunch forward haha. (Of course don't do it too much

    Seconded. It's an amazing device. No fan is a game changer. The m2 air does also look nice, but I haven't felt the need to upgrade.
