_betty_··on RFC 10008: The new HTTP Query Method
what do servers/proxies do when they don't recognise the verb?
_betty_··on Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux
no because it's linux running in windows not the other way around.
_betty_··on Claude Code: Channels
isn't that a completely different use case? messages to Claude from other sources vs from Claude when it's finished?

hooks can already alert you and have flexibility

_betty_··on LLM Year in Review
Having only used the base price of each, I loved the ux of cursor and what it enabled me to do, but I hit my monthly cap in 2 days. Whereas Claude code (on pro) I do hit my session limit and even weekly limit once but never have I had to been tools down for 20+ days.

I hear codex is even more generous.

Admittedly all seem cheap enough, but there does seem to be a large diff in pricing

_betty_··on Vibe Code Warning – A personal casestudy
Daniel Pink's book "Drive" explains that true motivation comes from intrinsic factors: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. It’s not about external rewards or doing every task yourself, but about having the freedom to direct your work, the drive to improve your skills, and a meaningful purpose behind what you do. In programming, AI can free us from routine tasks, letting us focus on creative problem-solving and realizing our ideas - this aligns perfectly with what Pink calls the deeper, more fulfilling motivation to get things done in a way that matters. So, it’s less about losing fun and more about shifting to meaningful engagement and impact.
_betty_··on The lazy Git UI you didn't know you need
ooh that's interesting, wonder if that works better than git eorktrees when playing with multiple AI agents
_betty_··on Claude Code 2.0
VS Code plugin seems to be missing quite a number of the CLI features.
_betty_··on Pnpm has a new setting to stave off supply chain attacks
how about requiring some kind of interaction if they want to run an install script?
_betty_··on Cursor CLI
They now compete in a larger market - non vscode users
_betty_··on Cursor CLI
I like that I can use the ide while a cli is working, keep an eye on git changes and interrupt where needed.

I find in ide they like opening documents/changing tabs too much and it means j can't do other things.

_betty_··on How I use Claude Code to implement new features in an existing complex codebase
It's from July 6, so yeah a month in the past is totally right.

She has newer posts on sub agents

_betty_··on Vanilla JavaScript support for Tailwind Plus
interesting, i had just watched Primeagens Standup with Adam and got the impression they don't do well for money, but a quick google came up with a bunch of posts from Adam himself disclosing some fairly impressive numbers.

No idea if he still does ok from it, but he certainly did at one stage.

_betty_··on Run a C# file directly using dotnet run app.cs
would they still be able to charge for it if it was an lsp?
_betty_··on Launch HN: Magic Patterns (YC W23) – AI Design and Prototyping for Product Teams
Also just how separate the tool was - it was the primary reason I checked out the product but felt I had to go searching to find it.

Maybe a add to canvas/project button in the code gen area.

_betty_··on Launch HN: Magic Patterns (YC W23) – AI Design and Prototyping for Product Teams
Lack of tools (shapes, cards etc)

Also felt very laggy/buggy when selecting, dragging etc. may be my underpowered rig

_betty_··on Launch HN: Magic Patterns (YC W23) – AI Design and Prototyping for Product Teams
Canvas is an interesting idea - although the implementation feels very clunky and half finished.

rest of the tool doesn't feel that special - eg there's tonnes of code generators out there. would have to play more to understand but it wasn't immediately apparent

_betty_··on Milk Kanban
i've been dreaming of a way that visualises the user flows in the software (rather than cards on a board), think spider map showing possible user flows then colour coded circles based on what stage they're in.

that way you can see what state an entire flow is in at a glance and being able to co-ordinate effort accordingly.

_betty_··on Samsung Q990D unresponsive after 1020 firmware update
i did something similar with a vodafone phone like 3 times, they just kept giving me the same model again and again.
_betty_··on Introducing command And commandfor In HTML
interesting, they could finally deprecate the form attribute on buttons...
_betty_··on Let's Encrypt is 10 years old now

_betty_··on Let's Encrypt is 10 years old now
they normally require a revocation lookup on the spot, and iirc there was differences in if they could or how stapling worked.
_betty_··on Let's Encrypt is 10 years old now
they were also pretty bad for performance due to the extra lookup (and reduction in caching)
_betty_··on I Followed the Official AWS Amplify Guide and Was Charged $1,100
this is one of the things i love about azure, easily being able to see everything.

closest i found in aws was something like tag manager?

_betty_··on Zod: TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference
for me i can auto-gen basic validation from either my typescript or graphql type. Then fairly easily extend it manually.

yeah i could do it manually, but the integration with other tools was the killer.

_betty_··on React has grown beyond its original promise and it's causing more harm than good
Foreach in razor is just c# too, so it's not a language thing it's more what it transpiles to.
_betty_··on React has grown beyond its original promise and it's causing more harm than good
knowing both i used to be frustrated by jsx's lack of support for plain if and for loops like razor has (eg map and the weird && syntax we general end up with)

eg ``` <ul> @foreach(var item in list) { <li>@item.name</li> } </ul> ```

of course this idea goes against jsx's implementation (as it's just nested functions) and paradigm of being html in plain javascript rather than an interpreted templating language.

some of the differences i really like (like being able to assign compoents to variables, pretty sure razor doesn't have anything like that).

_betty_··on Wireflow – free, online, open source tool for creating user-flow prototypes
Almost feel like it'd make more sense to merge with another tool, like tldraw
_betty_··on Redesigning Chrome Downloads
agreed. i've specifically disabled it. unfortunately i imagine the option will dissapear eventualy.
_betty_··on Making Figma better for developers with Dev Mode
I see you can start linking things to urls/files, curious as to if this will unlock developers adding more metadata to designs which might eventually be nicely displayed in Figma.

I have a desire to try Figma out as a project management tool, as in being able to easily visualize which screens/flows have been implemented by a developer, which ones have been updated since. I believe Figma is a good tool for that as it is visual and often already used to show things to clients.
