Agree on the first point, I think using JS makes more sense when you need to update some client state, like a dropdown or even that edit example. But htmx makes a lot more sense when you need to render some data from a server. In a SPA, you

Oh yeah for sure. I haven't had that happen to me, but when I dropped AstroNvim, I had a chance to start from fresh (on lazy). Small customized config also means smaller and more precise changes. I haven't touched mine in quite a

I've used all except Kakoune. For me, Neovim is the one that stuck. Helix is cool, but having no plugins is a deal breaker (for now!) The onboarding experience is much nicer for sure, and Helix's LSP is way easier to set up than N

I recently did this in a relatively small crate, and it halved the dependencies. Highly recommended if you don't need async.

Hetzner is fantastic. We switched from Linode to Hetzner over a year ago for our website and backend, and have been running with zero downtime. The pricing is also pretty darn cheap. Hoing they expand their US locations!

Yep, indeed. But htmx can reduce that a lot (to 0 even, in some instances), which is why it's really nice. There's also WASM, which is slowly gaining steam, but it still isn't a first class citizen like JS is.

Much of your business logic can live in the backend, and it keeps your frontend really tiny. The idea is to generate HTML on the backend, instead of using a front-end framework to generate HTML on the client from an API call. You can also d

I think something like Twitter and Discord could be written in it, but something like Google Maps or VSCode, definitely not. For anything where you need server data rendered, it's perfect. I'm currently writing a website that cont

Mostly great, there is a lack of native Rust frontend tooling outside of Leptos/Dioxus for templated websites, such as static file handling and bundling. Previously, I used vite for this on a templated nodejs website. But I am working

Yeah with these frameworks, you usually need to pair it with a backend that talks to your database. Most of the code you write in these frameworks run on the client (but they employ some server rendering techniques for performance reasons,

If you want a job, it's probably going to be React. But for personal projects, I hear Svelte would be up your alley. SolidJS is another nice option if you want to get into JSX templating, and more into something like React hooks that a

Agreed. Back then, I tried to get into neovim with packer and a ton of plugins, then tried AstroVim and stuff broke all the time. Went back to vscode. I tried it again about half a year ago with a much leaner, custom lazy (plugin manager, n

Yup. It's pretty common to see Alpine + HTMX used together since they are both HTML first. I've heard web components work well with HTMX too.

It's fantastic, and also my favorite. And for those who might not know, he was the one who really mainstreamed Data-oriented design and ECS architecture in my eyes. He previously was also leading the charge on Unity DOTS, though unfort

JetBrains' IDEs are very heavyweight, it's apples to oranges. And while there is some native code in them, they're still driven by the JVM mostly. There is fleet, but it's not an improvement to vscode at all IMO. How abo

Yes. It's increasingly common in big C++ code bases (Unreal for example) to prefer interfaces, templates and composition over inheritance, though it's mostly found in newer code. Unreal is still fairly OOP since it is decades old.

The tooling is great, don't get me wrong. But as soon as you need to do anything that slightly deviates the norm in Unreal engine, you're constantly butted up against broken features, or terrible performance. I can't count th
