Pretty sure you can cure that with another hook

@ricky.fm loved your first talk. Wanted a second one, then missed it. Do you know when/where to catch it? Can't find on yt

I wish they let
@ricky.fm
keep going but if you make an exception, expect to make another. But dang, I wanted to see the rest.

Overall, half of me hates these 19.2 qol features because I have bespoke solutions to em. The smarter half loves em cause they're better than what I've built ๐Ÿ˜‚

Why use 1 icon when you can use 2?

Definitely not me as it'll carry no weight but I look forward to reading it. I've been using bun a little bit and trying to use it more. Loving it so far

I've been playing with a few side projects since reading this.

Bun boots starts and seems to refresh way faster so I'm liking it. I'm testing simple cruds atm so haven't run into any blockers.

Gotta test vitest still. Ran into some weirdness but didn't have time to debug. Hopefully it's trivial.

Idk if it's helpful (and I'm not in front of a computer today), but there's a way to group config files in a pseudo folder so they're hidden.

It would definitely warrant a warning on you courses cause file structure would look different... Maybe it cleans up the visual clutter though?

I don't write go, is defer similar to await or does it queue the close for when resp is no longer used?

@jamon.dev I remember you posting about how bun simplifies your dev experience.

Do you use bun when starting a new expo project or is it just for simple backends?

Have you attempted to use vitest w/ expo (and bun if you ever use it for frontend)?

I see ignite uses yarn/jest so I'm curious

I'm sitting here with a split keyboard wondering if I should add a second backspace button and you're chilling here with none!

Haha yup. I think I got mine in 2018 or 19. Idk if they all are, but I'm pretty sure paperwhite and above are ipx68

22.12.2024 05:32 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It's definitely hard to justify upgrading. I got whichever Paperwhite is waterproof though, thats worth it imo

Do you have a "why to build compound components"?

I feel like I only ever see them with useContext, which is rarer and rarer these days.

Everything is a ui. Even the terminal. But yeah, I complain about em a lot.

Everyone just needs to make better UIs ๐Ÿคท

... I might be slightly crotchety on this topic

Well done dude. I remember seeing you when you were just starting out and I tried to buy you a book but you wouldn't let me ๐Ÿ˜‚. Glad you're still doing you

Oh nice. Didn't load for me but it's up now. Can't use my PC key for PS5 though lol. Looks like I'm stuck in PC ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Throw an error and tell em to get a better file and/or requirements.

If that doesn't work, I'd say go with @jakebailey.dev

In college I learned that there were a lot of Three Letter Acronyms in computer science. So to make it easier, we'd call them TLAs ๐Ÿซ

I'm enjoying the mix. It's nice to see the person behind the face

Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

JS dev: NaN

This is pretty solid. I'm gonna have to look at the code but for an MVP/pre-design I'd definitely take it. Api -> ingestible data is usually the annoying boilerplate junk imo. Did it follow your typings/etc for the zod schema?

Been waiting for this. I hate that everything needs vscode. Been using intellij for years but am feeling out learning nvim.

This is pretty solid. I always wondered if a comment system could be built on ActivityPub and have the comments cross posted. Idk enough about the differences of AP/atproto

Haven't watched this yet but I always assumed the tech side had a better ratio than the rest of twitter. Also assumed it was worse than 1/3 cause viral posts were chaos

This is my nightmare.

Mostly(?) unrelated question, do you always test on physical devices or just for weird bugs? Our team is split on emulator vs physical but I don't really find a good reason for one vs the other

Other sites feel like they're used mainly to grow an audience whereas posts feel more authentic here. I don't think (hope) it's placebo

Might be time to be active on socials again. Actually seems like fun here...

Hey y'all!
