Yes, exactly: I'm not saying everyone loves to paint or cook or whatever, but that a lot of people do, and it's weird and bad for the response to this kind of article, in which someone shares that they are losing something they en

Unironically this: isn't writing on paper more fun than typing? Isn't painting with real paint and canvas more satisfying than with a stylus and an iPad? Isn't it more fun to make a home-cooked meal for your family than order

All right, I got nerdsniped into writing a "yes and" sort of thing even though I agree with the gist of this article :) https://macwright.com/2025/08/21/why-d3-is-so-verbose-anothe...

I did consulting for the first 8 months of development, and then the company roughly broke even for operational costs since day one. I built most things myself which led to lower costs. My main cost was just rent and health insurance, which

Placemark was built around that idea - all the data is easily exportable & importable in many open formats. It should be straightforward to move to the open source version or other tools.

That's a fair assumption. There were some customers who benefited from real-time editing, but it was a big tech bet and led to a design that was harder to scale for larger datasets.

Yes, that's the rationale. A customer has asked about getting access to the source ahead of time and I'll try to make that work.

Personally I like both projects, as I hope I made clear in the OP - I sense that there's some history and strife here that I'm not clued into as an outsider.

[op]: Render is a web host, on which we host other applications. They offer a managed Postgres version, which is in my experience pretty similar to Heroku, RDS, or other managed databases. Maybe the sentence makes that confusing - we'r

We switched to Clerk.dev. Thankfully we had only supported magic link auth, so there wasn't much information to migrate over. Clerk has been pretty good - they have a great Remix integration and solid admin experience.

Sure! I think Kysely is great too, but went with Drizzle for a few different reasons: Kysely is a little more established than Drizzle, which I think is one of the major reason why it has broader adoption. My bet is that Drizzle is moving r

I mean, I get it, like I can't imagine being new to the scene and starting with "Unlimited Love" or something as your first listen, but of course - if you were there for the "Mothers Milk" era, it's obvious why

The answer is: nobody knows, because nobody pays for anything with FileCoin. The services that get pointed to, like estuary, have the price of "free," and most of the incentives in the system are pumped in automatically to "r

I’m totally fine with folks trying - plenty of companies want to build self-driving cars and investors want to buy into those companies, and all that can just sort itself out and win or lose. The problem is when folks - and I’m not saying j

I agree. My town has a certain saving grace: it’s really old. The initial town plan was made before cars, so it was, at one point, a sort of walkable place. It isn’t anymore because of redesigns that favor cars and incredible sprawl, but th

Sure, so the most direct answer is that a belief in self-driving cars that are safe and reliable and accessible isn’t grounded in any current evidence. We’ve spent a few billion on development and spun up dozens of companies and so far acco

Sure, so I’m from a tiny town in New Jersey. I was used to having to drive 30 minutes to the train station as a kid, and there are no buses there, so car ownership is mandatory. Took a long time to realize that next to one of the buildings

CodeMirror is one of the most important pieces of software, period. This thing is powering everyone's editors - heck, Chrome DevTools uses it. CM6 has a steep learning curve, in exchange for being even more flexible than 5. It's w

This list of requirements is long, specific, and narrow enough that it's really unlikely that what you're looking for exists, and if that did exist, it'd probably be extremely niche. At the end of the day, you'll probabl

Hope this kind of thinking becomes the norm! There are different tools for different problems, and SPA-like architectures are a good fit for a bunch of hard problems.
