A MUD got me into programming, just wanted to make one myself. I was too young then. Now that I’m “grown”, every five years I feel like the kids these days have so many tools to make it easier or at least more knowable. Also, that ASCII art

The issues were more behavioral for us. You can build the web component however you want, and the venn diagram of acceptable WC behavior vs React isn’t a full circle at all. Changing elements directly will mess up any VDOM-based approach, r

For web components to be consumable across frameworks, you still have to write it to be compatible for different frameworks. Our platform team thought they could get away with just focusing on native js, but when it came time to use in Reac

This really gets at the issue with JavaScript in the age of AI: it’s just not a terribly statically verifiable language, and DOM work is incredibly prone to failing silently while the app itself is clearly not working. We’ve had to paper ov

This isn't it. After spending my morning on a code review and catching several major issues despite it being a +7kloc diff, the real question is--how do we make the tooling around code reviews better? Intentions aren't enough, the

Integrating these web components into our React codebase has been pretty awful--more of a web components thing than a Lit thing, IMO. We have "scoped styles", except for certain important things like font sizes, so tons of little

Another part of what happened is that the comment section feels more succinct and insightful than the actual article. Articles have to be long form, comments get to the point. It's sort of like your comment is the LLM response I wanted

The leverage has been flipped. We all had awful college classes teaching next to nothing, and now that you can get good grades without attending, what's left? "We lost critical thinking!" No, we were barely getting that in th

Honestly it's already working great in Cursor. Even adapting one type structure to another is quickly handled.

Biggest fear as a new parent is basically this. What if my ideals estrange my kid? They’re not bad ideals, but the kid might just not be wired for them. Working hard, doing good for others, building skills, all of that. I wonder what this g

Well. I guess the demo doesn’t work for react components even when prompted for them? Overall the output seemed best for static demo showcasing, it was all HTML

In my experience, VS Code’s extension system really shines here. There are also boilerplate repos out there to get started.

The real trick here is dodging ASTs, which, after trying to use in so many parse-the-code projects, really aren’t needed all the time but are put pretty highly on the pedestal

The Austin tech culture is…interesting. I stopped trying to find a job here and went remote Bay Area, and talking to tech workers in the area gave me the impression it’s a mix of slacker culture and hype chasing. After moving back here, tec

Yup. Common. With all the performance blogs focused on time to first paint and the like, React introduced a whole new category that looks a lot like this

This is an amazing writeup. I usually judge an article by its comments (I know! but it's usually a good metric!), and for the absolute crickets this is getting, this article is well worth the read. Filipino contractors essentially fulf

The big rewrite. Risky even on manageable codebases, and the leftovers never seem to fully go away. Who wants to score points on re-writing a tucked-away settings page several years into these? I've seen so many attempts at these you&#

Why compare to WebGL? Tweening is for games, and making games in the DOM or in a Canvas is silly.

Eh, would rather see a comparison to a webGL approach given we’re doing tweening here. Fine to not have one, just sorta leaves the question up in the air. Faster than Canvas at the very least!
