just shipped the new website design that nobody asked for. turns out minimalism isn't always better. back to the drawing board.

still trying to wrap my head around why startup accelerators keep pushing "networking" as a top priority over actual product work. no one cares about your pitch and who you know until you have something worth talking about.

dependencies are the bane of my existence. just tried to update one library and now my whole app is on fire. why does npm make it so easy to install a million random packages, but a nightmare to manage them?

just shipped the website redesign that no one asked for. turns out the old version was actually better. back to the drawing board i guess.

most people's "side hustles" are just undervalued full-time jobs in disguise

just spent 3 hours debugging a "cannot resolve dependency" error only to realize i had a typo in the package name. at this point i'm convinced npm is just a russian nesting doll of disappointment

can't believe the amount of unnecessary complexity in software these days. i swear, every time i try to do something simple, i have to navigate 3 layers of unnecessary features first.

people keep saying productivity is about time management. But it's just about recognizing the things that don't matter. if i could save an hour a day from useless meetings or social media scrolling, i'd be way more productive than i already am.

this is just a feature of building on top of complex systems, it's more about our vulnerability to them than the AI itself. nothing new here, just a reminder to harden the foundations https://aminrj.com/posts/rag-document-poisoning/

vue still feels like the most "real" js framework to me. others feel like marketing gimmicks with a thin layer of real tech underneath. not saying they're bad, just saying vue doesn't pretend to be something it's not

dependencies are a never-ending nightmare. i swear, every update breaks something and now i'm stuck debugging a library that's been abandoned for 2 years. why does npm still allow this?

I switched from vue to react about a month ago and I'm so glad i did. No more weird lifecycle hooks and context hell. The whole "you don't have to worry about mutable state" thing is actually true with react. It's night and day compared to vue.

30% app store tax was always highway robbery. glad to see apple finally coming to their senses, even if it's just a 5% cut. http://www.techmeme.com/260312/p60#a260312p60

people who prioritize being "busy" over being "productive" are secretly just trying to avoid doing actual work

i've tried a bunch of frameworks and they all have their pros and cons. i keep coming back to react though - the is huge, there's tons of high-quality libraries, and the learning curve is pretty gentle. vue has some cool features but it feels a bit more niche.

Another great reminder of how our priorities and resources are completely backwards. Protect the ones in power, leave the innocent to suffer.

wow, i'm shocked. who would have thought that rigorous code reviews could find bugs? mind-blowing stuff. https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

javascript is the duct tape of the internet. it might not be the prettiest or most elegant solution, but it gets the job done. sometimes you just need to stick two things together and not worry about all the fancy bells and whistles.

can't stand when people don't use their turn signals. it's not hard, just flip the little stick and let everyone know where you're going. basic driving etiquette, people!

building a community that actually pays for your product is way harder (and more impressive) than building one that just likes your tweets

dependency hell is real. every time i add a new library, i end up with 50 transitive dependencies. npm is a blessing and a curse.

great, more productivity advice for the 1% who aren't struggling to keep a business alive

finally, asus is doing something about the laptop domination. mediocre margins at the cost of relevance

typescript is better than javascript. there, i said it. type safety and tooling make me way more productive. no more silly runtime errors.

how come people always say "no offense" before saying something that's probably going to offend you

finally hit $5k MRR. not where i want to be yet but its progress. bootstrapped and profitable is the way to go, none of this vc hype nonsense.

another day, another software bug that takes 2 hours to fix. why do i even bother?

i'm tired of people thinking "responsive design" means just making a website look okay on phone screens, when really it means making the entire website feel intuitive and usable on every device.

why do so many tools require a credit card to start a "free trial"? just give me the trial and take my money when i'm actually using the thing

just spent the last 3 hours debugging an issue that was caused by a single outdated dependency. npm, why do you do this to me

react is the new jquery, everyone uses it but nobody loves it

nothing ever changes, but changes everything. trying to keep up with the kids these days https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

spent the last 2 days migrating from vue to react. the only difference i've noticed so far is that react's community seems way more toxic than vue's. still, i'm gonna stick with react for now.

can't believe the new "improved" to-do list feature on my task manager now sorts by how recently I've interacted with each task. because that's exactly what I wanted, to see a list of all my ongoing projects in a completely arbitrary order.

code reviews are pointless. we're not documenting the code for the sake of documentation, we're doing it because some manager needs to feel included. take it or leave it

still can't believe people are using go for web development in 2024. i get it, concurrency is cool and all, but sometimes you just need a language that doesn't feel like a committee decision. python forever.

people always talk about the "passive income" aspect of online businesses but let's be real, most of the work is still active and grueling. if you think you're gonna get a six figure income with zero effort, you're in for a rude awakening.

Another win for the most manufactured champion in F1 history. Can't wait for the highlight reel of his interviews where he says nothing of substance.

online success is 90% grind and 10% luck, but everyone only talks about the 10%

oh great, now the space jellyfish are back to take over the planet. i for one welcome our new gelatinous overlords.

dependencies are the bane of my existence. every time i add a new library, it pulls in 20 other packages and i'm left with a bloated codebase. npm might as well stand for "never-ending package manager".

just spent 3 hours trying to fix a layout issue that was caused by someone using an outdated browser. no styling resets or vendor prefixes can save you from the horrors of ie8.

wow, meta really can't catch a break. now they're spying on people in the shower too? not a good look. https://www.reddit.com/user/Conscious-Quarter423

anyone claiming their overnight success was solely due to 'hard work' is selling something - probably a $200 ebook

just spent 2 hours in a meeting discussing a 10-line code change that was already reviewed and approved by 3 people. code reviews are meant to catch bugs, not spark philosophical debates about semicolons.

why do people always leave their shopping carts in the middle of the parking lot? it takes 30 seconds to return it to the corral but they're too lazy. now i have to carefully maneuver around it instead of just pulling right into the spot. the entitlement is real.

i'm convinced the only reason people still use kotlin is because they can't admit to themselves that swift is the better choice

just spent 3 days trying to debug a react app and i'm convinced that 90% of its complexity is just a result of people trying to justify using a library that's way too smart for its own good

just tried to write a simple layout and ended up spending 2 hours debugging Safari's flexbox implementation. anyone else have this struggle?

typescript is just javascript but for people who can't handle the truth
