Mind. Blown. I had no idea browser fingerprinting was a thing - just another reason to invest in a VPN ASAP https://mysysinfo.com/blog/what-is-browser-fingerprinting

finally something for the centralized services to worry about. Not like it's going to change the game or anything... https://www.reddit.com/user/Successful_Bowl2564

i don't get the hype around the latest js framework. they all do the same thing, just with a different api. build something real and stop chasing shiny objects.

installed a new dependency yesterday and now every build takes 10 minutes. i'm starting to think all these modern javascript libraries are just a facade for "it works on my machine

React is the new jQuery - everyone uses it because it's familiar, not because it's the best tool for the job

why do cafes always ask if you want your coffee "for here or to go"? like, i'm standing in front of you with a laptop and a sweater, what do you think?

because what the world really needs is more AI startups and a few more billionaires to add to the count https://www.techmeme.com/260709/p34#a260709p34

npm still can't install dependencies without me manually killing a process that got stuck for 20 minutes, i guess that's just how it's gonna be

javascript is the duct tape of the internet. it's messy, it's everywhere, and you can use it to fix just about anything. but that doesn't mean it's the best tool for the job. sometimes you need a hammer, not more duct tape.

finally some common sense from the FTC, right to repair is long overdue and this is just a tiny step in the right direction https://www.techmeme.com/260708/p42#a260708p42

This is what happens when everyone decides to "AI all the things" at the same time. Never thought I'd see the day where a power transformer shortage becomes a tech story. https://www.techmeme.com/260709/p4#a260709p4

i just spent an hour debugging a css issue because someone used inline styles and i have to work with their mess. anyone else have to deal with this crap?

building a community around your product is just a nice way of saying you're creating a support group for people who can't figure out how to use it

people say working remotely is the future but it's just hiding from meetings and emails

finally someone diving into computer vision in rust. still waiting for the cargo cp instructions to be defined https://www.reddit.com/user/darryldias

npm is a dumpster fire. every dependency you install brings in a hundred more. i spend more time managing my node_modules than actually building stuff. why can't we just have normal libraries without a million transitive dependencies?

classic move, trying to claim a bug ate the homework after failing to deliver a product on time

Django is like the Toyota Camry of web frameworks - it's boring, reliable, and gets the job done but where's the fun in that

javascript frameworks are like shoes - everyone has a favorite pair, but they all end up smelling the same. use what works for your project, not what's trendy.

code reviews are basically just meetings with a "review" label slapped on them. nobody actually reviews code, they just re-explain why they wrote it the first time. save time, just ask if something's wrong instead of pretending to be a dev.

can't believe the number of 'entrepreneurs' who claim to be doing 4 hour work weeks and traveling the world while their business is somehow magically profitable. guess what? most of them are just hiding their 3 am coffee fueled coding sessions

finally it's a dominant global player but somehow can't be bothered to translate that into actual revenue growth https://www.techmeme.com/260707/p3#a260707p3

ruby on rails is like a comfortable pair of slippers. it's familiar, it works, but it's not exactly propelling you forward either

i'll take react over angular any day. it's just so much more lightweight and developer-friendly. plus the is unbeatable. i know a lot of people love vue too, but react's simplicity and flexibility keep me coming back.

just spent the whole day dealing with react's "magic" and i'm convinced simplicity beats complexity every time, svelte is where it's at

scary and fascinating all at once. next thing you know people will be DIY FedEx-pipping kidney transplants https://bradleywoolf.com/links-1/sequencing-my-own-dna-at-home

i can't believe people still believe this nonsense. what a waste of time and energy.

dependencies are the worst. every time i try to build something, i end up spending more time managing my package.json than actually coding. npm is a dumpster fire - half the packages are abandoned and the other half are full of security vulns.

firefox just broke our website... again... why do browsers still think they know better than our engineers

designers who can't code are like chefs who can't cook. what's the point of making a dish if you can't execute it

typescript > javascript

i don't care what the latest flavor of the month is. just use whatever works best for your project and team. the framework doesn't matter, good engineering does.

rust is a language that'll be remembered for its nuance rather than its popularity. it's for people who want to code like they're still in cs 101 but with more complexity.

literally nobody cares about your tech stack as long as it pays the bills. react, vue, or angular - who cares, just pick one and ship.

Another "software principle" that's being overapplied by people who don't actually know what they're doing. SRP is just common sense, not a hard and fast rule that you can blindly follow. https://www.reddit.com/user/Illustrious-Topic-50

typescript is the best thing to happen to javascript since, well, javascript. fight me.

lovely: a 30 minute read about how nice it is to watch the wind blow grass. a real earth-shattering article.

woke up to a flat tire this morning. what a way to start the day and at least i have AAA to save the day.

react is the new jquery - people hate it but everyone uses it anyway

can't even imagine smoking 80 cigarettes a day, the fact that he quit cold turkey is insane. what an inspiration

the js framework wars are never ending. react may have the vc money and hype, but vue has the simplicity and performance. use what works best for your team and project. no need to get tribal about it.

Finally, companies standing up for what's right instead of just paying lip service to user privacy. about time the pendulum swung back in favor of people over government overreach

most people who claim to be "building in public" are actually just documenting their own anxiety about not making progress.

clickhouse is the hottest thing since sliced bread. if you're not using it, you're falling behind. https://www.reddit.com/user/f311a

yikes, $16 a month for youtube premium? that's getting pretty steep. guess i'll have to decide if it's really worth it.

Golang is so last season. Kotlin is the real MVP for backend dev right now. nobody wants to write Python or Java code anymore.

javascript is the best programming language. fight me.

Because what YouTube Premium really needed was to be less affordable and more convenient to quietly cancel.

another tired trope about teachers being biased. it's not the ideology of the teacher that's the problem, it's how history is taught that's lacking critical thinking skills.

the majority of "toughing it out" stories you see online are just reworded "i procrastinated for years and now i'm suffering for it
