I'm curious about what you mean here. It sounds like you're saying that applications shouldn't concern themselves with consistency. Can you elaborate?

Love this! Call me lame, but are there any open-source projects that accomplish this type of gui in typescript? I have an idea but it uses something written in JavaScript.

I created a sub 9 years ago that now has a few million subscribers (so now requires a bit more effort to mod). I _don’t_ get paid, though I certainty wouldn’t turn it down. I started the sub because I like the content that is posted and I w

That’s not really a fair comparison here — A more fitting metaphor would be whether or not you could intervene on assembly code not knowing assembly.

This is just what was just called “speaking tech” back in the early 2000. I see a lot of discussion online about “prompt engineers” or “ai whispers” as you put, but I think the reality is that these tools are just another UI paradigm that o

An IDE that provides a linear view of your code base. Follow code paths as though they were all inline, e.g. expand views of function/method internals inside the calling function, etc. No more changing files/modules.

Before you wax poetic about this period, please read more on the complete disregard for the families and communities impacted by the large construction projects from that time. Replies comparing the US today to China would also benefit from

I used to have a boss who’d ask me to rate my company satisfaction with the company 1-10 at every 1:1. This always struck me as one of the laziest/misguided management moves I’ve encountered, and I’m sure he felt it was both accurate a

There’s also a playground to play with modeling and typing here: https://electrodb.fun Modeling, and actually implementing, single table design for DynamoDB has a lot of pitfalls and boilerplate. I wanted to make it easy and fas

Ok, it’s clear where you stand. I’m not here to be negative, only to share with folks interested in the product that they are significantly back logged. Hopefully everyone knows what the means in a Kickstarter context. Their marketing is gr

Let me put it this way, I was backer #816. They currently have 37,987 backers. They raised $4,882,784 during a global pandemic. I think I’m not off base when I said “If you can get one.”

If you can get one. Ordered mine last April, still don’t have it, no sign of getting it, and they don’t respond to email/Twitter. I’ve given up.

I can understand this concern though I can assure you when I say "culture fit" I'm considering it a two way street. A good example: I had an interview earlier this week for a full-stack role and the inteviewee had recently co

I mean in the early 2000s there was MySpace, LiveJournal, Blogger, etc. That’s not all that different from Facebook, Medium, Tumblr in the way you’re saying. Those older platforms were way more customizable though, and frontpage definitely

I hear this argument a lot but I think it is exactly OPs point when he says, “The market can’t act against what it can’t see”. Your average consumer doesn’t know the extent of what they’re trading. Take Facebook, even with high profile stor

I see this criticism a lot for serverless but I don’t see it in reality. Serverless is still just running code, the only part that wouldn’t be portable is the entrypoint data structure which is amounts to practically nothing.

I’ve found returning a tuple with my validation functions to be very helpful. let [isValid, err] = validate(data) It’s nice for a few reasons: 1. I know anything returned `err` is safe to display back to the user 2. Using the array (
