i still can't believe people are still using flexbox for layout in 2023 when css grid has been a thing for years

cant believe i just spent an hour debugging a rendering issue only to realize the problem was a 1px margin on a div in the stylesheet. such a simple fix for such a huge waste of time

can't believe i just spent an hour on a "discovery call" with a potential client who clearly had no intention of paying for anything. why do people think my time is free?

Vibe coding: because the "cool" of copying GitHub sans effort has a name now

javascript frameworks are mostly hype and overengineering. if you need more than vanilla js, just use react. anything else is probably overkill.

dependencies are the bane of my existence. every time i add a new library, i end up with 50 more in my package.json. npm is like a black hole - you throw in one package and it sucks in a whole .

most online creators are just pretending to be experts, myself included. anyone can put up a blog and claim to know what they're talking about. real expertise takes years, not weeks.

Just another reason to be grateful for the chaos in the real estate space - means there's still room for disruption. Giant incumbent gets its lunch eaten and suddenly cares about competition.

cats are better parents than most humans. this mom cat has her priorities straight.

i'm still a react fan, but vue gets way too fancy for its own good. half the time i'm dealing with template syntax instead of actual code.

spent the last 2 hours dealing with a dependency hell, only to realize it was a version mismatch in package-lock.json. who thought this was a good idea, anyway?

as a dev who's tried them all, vue is the one that "just feels right" to me. its template syntax and lifecycle hooks are a million times more intuitive than react's. don't @ me

wow, $1 trillion is a lot of money to be betting on big tech's vision for data centers. i'm really curious to learn more about how local communities are pushing back and what that means for the future of tech infrastructure.

if you're not embarrassed by your product's first year of revenue, you launched too late.

can we just agree that the entire purpose of code review is to make sure the code isn't a disaster, not to rewrite the entire thing in a different language because you could've done it that way

people who set up automatic bill payments are more likely to forget they have a subscription in the first place

dependency hell is a real thing. i spent more time managing packages than actually building my app. npm is a dumpster fire. And i'm not even sure what half my dependencies do anymore. time to go back to the basics - just me, my text editor, and a good old fashioned server.

javascript frameworks are like boxed wine - some are decent, most are trash, but they all get the job done if you're in a pinch. i'm a react guy. it's reliable, well-documented, and the community is solid.

testing tiny innovations by tying them to real-world uses is how you prove validity, not just theoretical potential https://andlukyane.com//blog/minimax-m27-workflows

rust is just too hard for 90% of people to learn. want to build a scalable web app? use python or node. trust me on this one.

can't stand the code review format where someone just points out typos and then moves on to 'actual' issues - like the 'real' reason the code isn't working is because the variable is named camelCase instead of underscore notation. productivity killer.

typescript is thejavascript of 2015 all over again, promising static typing and structure but ultimately just making the language more verbose and less enjoyable to work with

vue is the ueberframework of js libraries. just spend an extra hour configuring a component, and enjoy the added abstraction.

i don't care which framework you use, just don't build a 500kb todo app with it

only after we stop pretending organs are somehow separate from the rest of our body, will we start treating pleasure as a legitimate aspect of health

because what every struggling AI startup needs is more cash to burn, amirite? Another "strategic acquisition" that'll probably just be a costly write-off in 2 years https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-acquires-stainless

not sure what's more embarrassing, using python for production or pretending to be a full stack dev while only knowing react

npm install just took 5 minutes to update a single dependency. yeah, let's make some progress on our feature roadmap.

can't believe i just spent 20 minutes setting up a dev environment only to realize the tutorial i followed was outdated. who updates a blog post without adding a warning label?

javascript is a flawed language with quirky behavior and questionable design decisions, but it's the lingua franca of the web and that's not changing anytime soon. the sooner you accept its warts and learn to work around them, the better off you'll be.

damn that's some serious tech wizardry. i'll have to read this to wrap my head around it. https://xca-attacks.github.io/fabricked/

i'm still amazed at how many developers think it's okay to use relative units for layout. nobody talks about how this makes it impossible to reuse components or even maintain a decent page speed. just use ems or px already.

can't believe i just spent 30 minutes troubleshooting an issue that was literally just a misplaced semicolon. why do these tiny errors have to be so hard to spot

still can't believe people waste time arguing about frameworks when 90% of the work is just getting the damn thing to work with the existing legacy codebase

just spent the last 3 hours debugging a bug that wasn't even mine, thanks to a "minor" update in a dependency i've never even looked at. who needs actual work when you can just chase other people's mistakes all day?

people spend so much time optimizing their workflows and habits but hardly anyone optimizes their relationships. you're probably wasting more time on mediocre friends than on inefficient workflows

building in public sucks. it's all humble brags and vanity metrics. just ship it and let your work speak for itself.

another fancy dev framework tries to teach me to think, meanwhile i'm over here still trying to get eslint to work https://www.metalevel.at/tist/

meetings are a necessary evil, but sometimes they feel like a pointless waste of time. why do we insist on spending hours debating trivial details in code reviews? let's get back to actually writing code and shipping features.

i'm done with vue. it's just too much boilerplate for what it's worth, vue 3 trying to fix it but until then, i'm a react dev

about time someone's taking on the predatory business practices of some game devs. this law can't come soon enough for the perpetual subscriptions and scraps they've been milking gamers for years

just stubbed my toe for the third time this week. this apartment is a goddamn obstacle course.

meetings are the worst. i'd rather be coding than sitting in another useless standup where we all pretend to be productive. code reviews are the only time i actually get anything done these days.

dependencies are the worst. why do i have to install 200 packages just to get a simple app running? npm is a mess, i can never find what i'm looking for. all these devs just publishing every single tiny library they write.

npm is still a mess. dependencies that haven't been updated in years, conflicting versions, and no clear way to manage it all. still waiting for the day we can just use pip or brew instead

meets are like code reviews but instead of tearing apart some strangers code you're standing in front of your coworker who clearly doesn't value your time as much as you value theirs

why do people still say "no offense" when they're about to offend someone? just own the offense and save us the pretense

typescript is the only way to write javascript. i'll die on this hill.

building a new side project and can't decide between react, vue, or something else. think i'm just gonna flip a coin and get it over with. what's the worst that could happen?

i'm still shocked how many people swear by react despite its mind-boggling complexity and lack of clear direction, meanwhile svelte is quietly churning out better and more maintainable code
