Would also recommend https://types.kitlangton.com/ as a companion — sometimes many examples can illustrate the point more succinctly than text.

Both ProseMirror and the newer version of CodeMirror have a pretty elegant solution to this: each modification to the document is modeled as a step that keeps track of indices instead of node/text identities, and uses a data structure

Github's https://primer.style/product/getting-started/ does a good job of making a cohesive design language that works just as well for server-rendering Ruby views and "upgrading" parts of the ui to

You're not alone. There's been an effort to transparently update the UI to a React implementation over the past year or two, and while I understand the benefits to that approach, they have introduced some flakiness in moving away

The convention on desktop and mobile is not to have a submission at all. If you click one of these "mercury" buttons, you can always have up-to-date state. Forms and submissions are mostly a web convention. I too think that's

I meant it more as a testament to how far you can get with a Rails app before needing to consider using the power tools :^)

I hope to hear more in the future! Do you envision any extension points to the way engines are implemented that could better enforce boundaries? In our engines, there was nothing that referenced another engine's resources, leaving the

A number of years ago, I worked on a team (~20 engineers in total) that successfully carved off two relatively independent portions of a large Rails app using engines. I'm happy to see that Shopify is also using that strategy. I'm

Webpack-based projects are heavy. A Rails app comes with a Webpack-based Javascript scaffold out-of-the-box. I wonder if something like Rollup or NCC could be used to create a single-file Javascript dependency in the general case that is on

I gotta say, the "installing" workflow is pretty opaque and confusing. Why do I need to both authorize GitHub _and_ install a GitHub app? If I elect to only authorize it for specific repos (instead of read/write access to all

It would seem that https://github.com/atom/atom-languageclient is still under active development. Hopefully this means that the core Atom team will continue to work on language server features.

There's https://github.com/google/zoekt which provides a pretty straight-forward and memory-efficient implementation. Their design document goes a bit into what makes it fast: https://github.com/go

It's true that macros exist in languages like Nim and Elixir, even C. They either use something more akin to string templates (expanding a macro fills in the holes) or a DSL for manipulating the AST (something new to learn to write cod

Another compelling use-case of React is the ability to use it as a better templating language ― treating HTML as a data structure instead of a string, better composability of the units of your UI, and the ease of rendering to a string. It&#
