Site does look great. I’ve not used Claude Design. How much do you feel like you were able to give your own personal touch to it? I ask as I see many vibe coded products that look well but are very generic. It signals vapourware to me. But

The syntax proposals look fine. But I don’t feel they are needed. Lua is easy to write and grok. I default to using LuaJIT, and have never had an issue with the actual code. Integration with the Lua ecosystem is the problem. Fix the compati

Yea, not sure what “written in rust” adds to this. I would have thought that you could get the same functionality with a few shell scripts and a package.json.

I agree, this is why the term Software Engineer is in italics or quotes throughout. The article is rant written whilst looking back on a career in tech. The author is clearly questioning the legitimacy of the role, and whether or not he act

Zed are doing a great job at making the exact things developers don’t want. It’s clear that their focus is on raising funding rather than making a great text editor.

Yes, I have nothing against Tailwind as a technology. My gripe is that you can now prompt an LLM “make a stylish homepage for my product” and they almost exclusively spit out this Tailwind template. If that’s all the effort you are going th

So many software homepages use that tailwind template, or a variety of it. As soon as I see it, it suggests to me a poor quality/rushed product.

First thing I thought to do was add an emoji to the content. But it just shows the unknown char rectangle. I was hoping for magic, I guess.

“Accidentally recording” sensitive data is happening pretty much everywhere. Last year I was tasked with removing sensitive payment information that had been stored in an insurance company’s database as “call transcripts”. The automated sys

You exist solely to procreate. I could not imagine an emptier life, than one without children.

I’ve recently read the third edition of Bjarne’s “A tour of c++” (which is actually a good read). I feel the author of this post could benefit from doing so also.

I really like the concept of this. I'd love a html reference guide (pattern library?) with plain html no CSS or JS to document the basic building blocks of the web.

I’d rather be explicit. If the value is null then it should be explicitly handled. I feel like this is another step in the race to add every conceivable feature to a language, for the sake of it.

The server rarely has to render/build the html. It will do it once and then cache it. 99% of websites don’t have real time data. They are just boring webpages.

The GUI of an OS has never concerned me. Seems like a red flag when the main selling point is a slight bit of transparency.

I use html and server side rendering. The whole react thing has passed me by. If I need to use a js framework to add interactivity it’s Alpine. But then I just ask myself the question? Is this bad design? And if the answer is yes, I look fo

How many times will Tufte CSS be reposted? I feel like I see this every year. Unfortunately I like it less every year too.

I suffer from this. I even get as far as nearly finishing a project, and then just decide to abandon it as the last 20% is just mentally exhausting, and I should have written the whole thing in language X using framework Y…

Well said, Zed could be great if they just stopped with the AI stuff and focused on text editing.

Wait until they find out about PHP. Mind blown.

About a decade ago I was at a museum in Odense, Denmark. I vaguely remember a comical story about him and Charles Dickens. In that Andersen would regularly visit Dickens and stay with him and his family. The gist was that Dickens found this
