I'm curious if anyone else is advocating for HTMX as a mechanism to simplify bloated front end code bases

I won't try to guess the industry trajectory as a whole. But I can speak from personal experience. I've been on teams jump on the single page application bandwagon. React in particular. It's been 5 years since initiating that

When you have a team with predominantly back-end knowledge expertise using a templating language they are familiar with plays to their strengths. MVC applications were written for over a decade. Perhaps it is a subjective thing because I do

Recently we went through an exercise where we built a to-do simple app using react and rewrote it using HTMX. The functionality was identical between the two apps. The amount of tooling code and duplicative logic was massively higher becaus

That's the thing. It doesn't really matter. It's sort of like asking what backend tech you pair with jQuery

By choosing an SPA. You must choose a dedicated static site hosting which is separate from your web application. You may already have this but you may not. In most cases you must choose a framework for routing. Also a framework for state ma

In more cases than not I've noticed the choice of single page app itself is pure overhead. SPA technology brings some key advantages but also a whole new realm of cost and complexity. It's my experience that SPA popularity has con

How would this work from a fault tolerance perspective? For example the listening application happens to be offline but the database is inserting records. How would the application catch up?

Perhaps the overhead of chatty queries is diminished in this special use case. But it doesn't change the fact that standalone database server processes are designed to support specific queries at lower frequencies. This is one of the m

Select N+1 is a fundamental anti-pattern of relational database usage. Reducing the latency per round trip doesn't change this fact.

What's the point of this article? An attention getting headline followed by some bombastic claims followed by walking them back later in the next paragraph. It's like generating debate for the sake of debate. I get the impression

I look at it differently. If vim is a useful tool in your daily workflow then it's probably worthwhile to invest time into customizing it and enhancing it with plugins. The open source landscape of plug-in development is under constant

I used to think the same thing until I considered that single page app development is really just a reinvention of thick clients. When you look at an SPA as a thick client state management is a natural thing as it was in Java swing and WPF

Agreed! I'm surprised at the comprehensive work going into researching the history of state management in this article while completely missing MobX. What problem does MobX not already solve?

If your team is comfortable writing in pure python and you're familiar with the concept of a makefile you might find Luigi a much lighter and less opinionated alternative to workflows. Luigi doesn't force you into using a central

I think this is what Snowden referred to as the concept of "TurnKey tyranny".

Agreed. It's a cool idea. It's not really computer science as much as a penetration test involving humans and processes. Of course without any semblance of prior consent it isn't quite sabotage but definitely outside the real

Thanks! It's still a lot of hoops to jump through coming from visual studio perspective where all settings can be imported or exported to a file. But this is workable!

I've been using an almost stock installation of spacevim both in gvim and terminal for the last couple years. It's sort of like a distro of vim plugins dialed in to play nicely together.

I never appreciated the popularity of redux. My impression was astonishment at the amount of boilerplate I needed for what I felt was a vanilla web ui use case. Then the required voodoo of hooking this up to someone else's clever thunk

This really hits the head of so many nails. Similar to you I think I grew up in deep north. Our generation can not subside in the economy of factories and Timber Mills. Most of the jobs are seasonal and pretty much all of them directly or i

Is anyone aware of a respectable security rating system for android apps we can look up before installing something from the play store?

Is there some sort of a security site which rates android apps by their level of respecting privacy, something above and beyond the quality gates of the play store?

Oh no! Some of my sites are still using bootstrap v3! I have so many bootstrap service packs to install, thanks for the heads up.

I dont understand arguments like this. It reads too closely to the anti-immigration narrative I hear all to much in USA lately. If you're hard working, critical thinker, creative then you deserve the opportunity to join us and lowering

"IMHO redhat deserves its money". I agree. But the vast majority of people employ CentOS which is redhats derivative. Oracle engineers work hard on java and deserve their money but the vast majority of people employ OpenJDK which
