This is awesome. I don't do any graphics programming and don't really have any Raylib experience (or keep up with the projects developments) but it inspired me to begin learning C this past few months. I started building my own ze

For me it's the people. I've been at my current company for ~4 years. Every January the upper management folks kick off the same project and every year it dies in the planning/discussion phase. Maybe one or two other "bi

I really like the standalone lit-html rendering library but never really saw a need for Lit. Honestly, I find it hard to see a need for more than <any client-side rendering lib> + Web Components when I want client-side rendering.

A part of me jokes that Micro$oft only invested in OpenAI because it's the only sensible way to browse .NET/Nuget package(s) documentation. The other part knows it's dreadfully true.

I'm not someone who usually gets excited by new major releases of frameworks/libraries but this one feels different. I got my start with CRUD PHP websites with jQuery. I've been using HTMX for the last year and it fills me wi

This is how I've used DELETE. Something like DELETE /users/{uniqueUserId}. In ~10 years of building CRUD apps I don't think I've ever sent a body or query params with a request.

I don't know. I like when my ISP or power company let's me opt-into texts about outages and provides periodic updates (as long as you can reply STOP). I was on a 2 week camping trip and a nasty storm rolled through my home state.
