> That's it. Yeah ignoring the massive environmental, social, and moral implications I suppose it’s not a big deal at all.

People used to love giving out plastic bags for one item. Who needs a bag for a single item??

Every winter in my city, once the leaves all fell, our trees would be draped in shredded plastic bags. Banning single use plastic bags has done a significant amount to beautify this place.

// Workaround because we don’t have an age column in the db. See JIRA-1234 This would be better IMO :) Most of the context belongs in a ticket. And the difficulty is subjective!

HTML describes the structure of a document, not really the layout. If HTML had <inline> <block> <column> <row> or <grid> tags, sure. But CSS determines the layout via display/position properties.

“Filters, including no filters. The request carries whatever filter object the page already has. … No step here involves choosing based on meaning. It is a filter, a sort, and a slice.” This is from Opus five minutes ago. I can certainly de

Everyone is fighting OP on this extremely reasonable take when some of us are dealing with coworkers that copy slack messages/JIRA ticket comments/PR feedback into Claude and respond with the pasted output as is back like that’s

I have to preface all my prompts with, “in simple, plain English…” because it doesn’t respect my rules on this stuff. I’m glad to read I’m not the only one getting these unintelligible responses from Claude lately

Also this doesn’t even feel the same “no and negotiate” he’s advocating for? This is straight up “No.” Territory. He rents the dang space it’s not anyone else’s decision.

Is that really accurate though? I use Claude in my software job but the majority of my friends do not use it at all. And I never use it for anything other than that either. TBH I don’t find it useful at all for personal use. It’s totally so

React is popular because it mainstreamed components as a concept to modularize and reuse UI.

Tailwind trades cascade complexity for design drift when working across teams. You can’t ignore that it encourages a different kind of undisciplined sloppiness. Would I take it over the 1000 line cascade problems? Probably, but I’d still pr

Except this is not how American capitalism works at this scale, and it’s ridiculous to think their debt isn’t your debt when you have the entire country’s history to look back on and count the numerous government bailouts.

You really have to do it for the love of the game. It can be surprisingly vulnerable to be the social fabric, and it’s super easy to fall into various toxic inner dialogs when you’re busy and others don’t pick up the slack, or if others don

If you are using shadCN as building blocks for a centralized component library I think it makes more sense, but personally I don’t think the component registry pattern scales well across multiple teams/UIs. ShadCN and tailwind really e

Mostly agree. I do find that FE unit tests are a decent litmus test for complexity though. IMO the more difficult it is to test your react component, the more you probably need to think about breaking your component down.

Personally I think you’re both correct but I also think you’re talking about most people‘s definition of an acquaintance.

I think it’s pretty common for states to require a masters degree to maintain your teachers certification. You also have to pass a standardized test specifically on subject matter in order to get your teaching certificate. The undergrad deg

It's so funny to me when the dollars stop being abstract for a moment, and I see that the US has regions that beg for quite literally .2% of this amount to fund things like public transit, lead remediation in elementary schools, or h

`vendor/` folders give me the worst developer PTSD :p 6 conflicting versions of jquery, and you know every single one of them was monkey patched, cemented into the codebase forever.

Fine in what way? What people? I have not seen or heard of a single person who is excited about AI generated blog posts, or TikToks, or commercials, or images. In fact it’s the opposite, the internet coined the term AI slop, and my non-inte

They do, don’t they? Apple devices have had a robust whitelisting/blacklisting feature for at least a couple of years. I use it to block websites and apps to lessen my phone addiction. I’m sure Android offers similar features

Yeah you’re right. However, resource gaps can be filled by things like volunteer librarians, teacher wishlists/donations, field trips, strong PTAs, etc.. This is common in my city. It’s a big underfunded school district with a handful

Maybe they can bring their resources with them too, and the poor schools can have things like lead paint remediation, honors classes, and extra curricular activities. I like this idea!

I totally agree with the authors point. The Franklin Institute at its core is a place that teaches science through tactile experience and the special exhibits don’t reflect that. Some context as a local though, the Franklin Institute’s spec
