astro is such a buggy mess

CSS is hell. Every existing way of doing it sucks. Yes, tailwind too. UI is hard. Especially when you trying to implement a figma file designed by non-developer. AI doesn't help, it has to know about custom tailwind plugin my team uses

Are there examples of lives significantly improving thanks to AI advancement? So far I only see anxiety it causes, scams, misinformation, etc. Occasionally a funny ai generated meme.
Makes it hard to believe AI is net good for the world when I consider it's current trajectory

no, wrong. it's a 1992 video game

I wonder if 3-5 years from now frontend ecosystem is gonna be like "Stop using signals!!! Do this instead" and it's Elm architecture but with some fancy new stuff (probably AI)

Elm is unpopular (in comparison). Yet many things are inspired by Elm-architecture: Go library for writing TUI apps, Gleam frontend framework, Rust frontend/fullstack framework, hell Redux.

Elm dropped signals and chose redux-like (or other way around) architecture because they noticed Elm apps undergoing a sort of carcinisation towards what is now Elm-arcitecture

Hilarious how Elm had signals 9 or 10 years ago, before they became all the rage. And then Elm pivoted away from them becoming the thing that inspired Redux, Redux then became de facto standard for React and now everyone is tired of Redux and wants signals

I'm in a toxic periodical situationship with Elm lang. I love and hate this language, what it could have been, what it never will be. Have to fight an urge to rewrite some work projects in Elm every half a year or so

3 looks exactly like cyrillic
letter for sound z. So vv3rd is wzrd if you squint hard enough.

I think wizards are cool af and programming is the closest thing we have to wizardry

"google has no resources"
nah that can't be it

I think we should cover the planet with sequoia trees whenever they are able to grow. Dunno if it's good or bad for ecology, I just think it be cool

"If you find yourself wishing for whatever reason that you could just share the same query function"

> whatever reason
fair 😁

Doesn't seem like a good thing. When would an implicit queryFn based on the key be useful?

Consistent is the way when it comes to pretty much everything. I both believe it and prefer

Why is everybody trying to sell you their free (as in costs 0$) open source library or framework. How is it a profitable model? Is it all about getting sponsorships? Or am I just too capitalism brained that I think there must be a financial incentive.

NOW we doing functional programming

Functional is using ternary operators

Shout out to Alacritty, my beloved. 🗣️🗣️ WTF IS A SPLIT PANE 🦅🦅

Don't fall asleep

Interactivity rich client side framework

A code snippet showing request formData being directly written to todos.tsv file

Database

A code snippet that runs Bun.serve and returns html response from fetch function

SSR solution

A code snippet showing a "template" function that just reads an html file from templates folder and replaces string keys wrapped in double brackets with a value under the same key in interpolations object

Templating engine

If I were to write a fullstack application from scratch, this would be my tech stack in 2025. A 🧵👇 1/43

That sounds about right

I sure hope AI's gonna take our jobs soon, because if I'm right about the trajectory we're picking up, we're heading into such a mess the job is not gonna be fun anymore.

This industry needs understanding of how systems work, ability to distinguish between a symptom of a problem and the root of it. It needs knowing went to write code and when to tell business the requirements are off, when to tell another team member their part of the system is broken etc.

Please tell me that's just juniors being juniors.

During review:
- hey why was this change introduced, seems out of place
- well it didn't work without it
- do you know why it didn't work?
- no
- do you know why now it works?
- no
