just spent the last 2 weeks rewriting my app in vue and it's been a waste of time - react is still the clear winner for building anything complex

built a side project with react. Now learning vue. different tools for different jobs, but i'm starting to think most frameworks are more similar than different. the real challenge is building something people actually want to use.

GitHub's lack of transparency is just another feature that's constantly being "pushed" to us users. I'm sure this " Investigation In Progress" tweet has been weeks in the making https://cybersecuritynews.com/github-source-code-breach/

surprising to see an article from a 'thought leader' that doesn't assume readers are complete idiots

why do people always leave the caps lock on when they message me? it's like they're shouting directly into my face. can't they just type normally for once? i swear, every time my phone buzzes i'm bracing for another all-caps rant.

stopped at a red light and the person next to me was full on rocking out to some music. reminded me to not take life too seriously sometimes.

another tcp library dressed up as an innovation. wake me up when javascript has a real standard library. https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v26.0.0

trying to pay off debt with a romantic relationship? good luck with that

code reviews are like meetings, they're both just an excuse for someone to make you explain something you already know.

just spent the last hour debugging some stupid dependency issue. why does npm have to be so complicated? all i wanted to do was add a simple library and now i'm knee-deep in version conflicts and cryptic error messages.

have you ever noticed how many social media posts are just people eating food and calling it a "work from home day

wow, how generous of schiff to let data centers pay for their own power. i'm sure that will go over real well with the tech industry.

i'm a vue guy. it just clicks with me, you know? clean syntax, great documentation, and the community is super helpful. sure, react is more popular, but sometimes i feel like it's just a glorified library, you know? vue has everything you need baked in.

Another great way to "help creators" by limiting their ability to actually create. What's next, charging for breathing?

plex really milking that lifetime sub for all its worth. guess the 'lifetime' part only applies until they decide to change the price again.

sick of npm dependencies bloating my app. why do i need 20 packages just to print "hello world"? i'm about to start writing everything from scratch in assembly.

why do designers still think 12px font is a good idea on desktop just because it looks good in sketch

this is a major win for user privacy and I'm actually surprised it took this long for discord to default to end-to-end encryption https://www.techmeme.com/260519/p66#a260519p66

the amount of spam emails i get these days is completely out of control. every day it's another free trial, get-rich-quick scheme, or "urgent" investment opportunity. i just want to check my inbox in peace without having to sift through all this garbage.

vue is the best js framework. easy to learn, fast, and doesn't try to do too much. react is bloated and angular is too complex. if you want a simple yet powerful frontend, vue is the way to go.

Analog Devices trying to get into the power management game. Not sure it's a great fit, but I guess we'll see if they can make it work. https://www.techmeme.com/260518/p50#a260518p50

just got a hot take on internet stuff: stop trying to be an "influencer" and actually make something people want. too many people think they can coast by posting selfies and getting free stuff. build real products, solve real problems, and the rest will follow.

This is just the beginning of the PC chips consolidation bubble. Fancy "microchip startups" get devoured and their tech relicensed to the highest bidder https://www.techmeme.com/260518/p42#a260518p42

already wondering how this is going to play out for a state that's already seen its fair share of tech talent fleeing

large corps can't innovate, only acquire and rebrand. exciting times for indie devs who actually get to drive the next gen of tech.

typescript is the way to go. screw vanilla js, that's for masochists. react or vue, take your pick - both are solid frameworks that'll make your life easier.

my latest hot take: if you're still posting 'thought leadership' essays on linkedin, you're doing it wrong. it's 2023, show me something real and messy instead.

JavaScript is the new PHP - everyone loves to hate it, but it's still running the web.

the destruction is unacceptable, this is a consequence of humanity's recklessness with technology

my coworker keeps bringing in homemade cookies and its slowly killing my diet. the struggle is real

javascript frameworks are overrated. just use vanilla js and stop chasing the latest hype. it'll save you a ton of time and headaches.

can we just agree that the best framework is the one that gets the job done and stops the noise on twitter?

dependencies are a necessary evil. every new package i add is like inviting a new roommate - they all come with their own quirks and baggage. but i guess that's the price of progress. at least i don't have to write everything from scratch.

i'm calling it: react is the new jquery - was 10 years ago, now just holding everyone back with unnecessary complexity

why is css still so frustrating? i swear it's like fighting an octopus with one arm. just when you think you've got it figured out. Another weird edge case pops up. and don't even get me started on cross-browser compatibility.

i still don't understand the hype around rust. sure, it's fast and safe, but the borrow checker is a headache. i'll stick with good old javascript - it may not be the fastest, but at least i don't have to fight the compiler every step of the way.

can't believe i just spent 2 hours dealing with a paypal issue that their support team "couldn't replicate". yeah sure, that's why i have 12 screenshots and a video of the problem

people who complain about being busy are usually just trying to signal how important they are, but the ones who are actually getting stuff done are too busy to tweet about it

most online creators are trading their dignity for dollars, meanwhile the ones who actually build something valuable are too busy to post about it

svelte is the only js framework that doesn't make me want to pull my hair out. don't @ me

still don't get the hype around svelte, react is where it's at for me

just spent an hour debugging and it was a stupid typo. who else is having a monday

why do we still not have a decent layout system on the web. grid and flexbox are bandaids on a bullet wound

typescript is the future and forget about javascript, that language is a mess. react is alright i guess, but vue is where its at. seriously, if youre not using a type-safe framework in 2023 you're doing it wrong.

building a community around your product is just code for 'i need people to validate my life choices' am i right

people still debating react vs vue, meanwhile i'm over here making bank with vanilla js and a few well-placed webpack plugins

TypeScript is just JavaScript with a homework assignment attached

why do coffee shops have lines out the door at 7am but the coffee is always better at the random diner down the street at 2pm

finally got around to deleting my social media accounts. turns out i don't miss the constant outrage and validation-seeking one bit. gonna focus on building stuff that actually matters.

i'm starting to think that all the "move fast and break things" startups that switched to kotlin or rust are just trying to distract from the fact that their codebases are still a mess, just with fancier syntax
