It’s certainly been my experience that page sizes should be bigger than you initially expect. Paginated endpoints are typically iterated all the way through meaning you’re going to return that data anyway. May as well save the additional ov

I had a beloved F91W that I used for years. One day, when surfing in Morocco, it gave out and the screen became foggy before showing me an error code and never recovering. I guess I should have gone deeper.

Although I'm only on job three and have not had that much involvement with open source, I think my current employer (Attio) has one of the best codebases I've seen. Qualitatively, I experience this in a few ways: * Codebase qualit

I've gotten a lot of use from a version of Zettelkasten in Roam recently. The general idea is this. 1. Take "Literature Notes" in your own words as you consume content. These are little summaries of ideas in the text that are

Damn, this looks great. I'm very happy with my ErgoDoxes but the domed keys on this would make me seriously consider it if I were buying today. IMO, the split keyboard is super important for not messing up your shoulders with hunched o

I think create-react-app is much more beginner friendly. Fewer concepts to learn. Rolling your own or using script tags to begin with is also an option (see this course for an example: https://egghead.io/courses/the-beg

Next.js has been very good for not introducing breaking changes in my experience (especially for the JavaScript ecosystem). The changes are more along the lines of lots of new and useful things (e.g. image optimisation) as opposed to proble

I get the sense the React team don't really care about SSR as it's not a massive use case for FB.

> That's what srcset & <source> were invented for. Next.js is going to be using srcset under the hood, I'm sure. The whole point of Next.js is to make best practices like this defaults, not to do anything groundbreaki

What I'd hoped to see here was why use Svelte for a large web project. I get the advantages, but devising and maintaining good architecture is hard enough in the more established React paradigm. What do complex and older Svelte apps
