that's what a LLM would say

> The return to office fad was a big part of this effort, often largely motivated by reacting to the show of worker power in the racial justice activism efforts of 2020.

Not against this point, but I don't get it, maybe because I don't live in the US, but I see as another way to "soft-fire" people, as is this AI crazy What I'm missing?

People have the notion that tech workers are overpaid man-children that have to be babysat by their companies

The reality is, we're constantly dealing with increasingly tighter deadlines and unreasonable demands to deliver products that, even if they make it to market, are likely to be shut down within five years. We're basically glorified sandcastle builders

With AI, things have gotten even worse, people now believe everything is easy just because they can build a to-do app with a prompt

Yes, and I already got those

you can also offer your body as fuel

Agree US market seems bloated, not only salaries but also positions, you can find "seniors" with 2 years of experience, maybe a side effect from the pandemic boom

I'm glad for AI, I was worried that future generation would overtake me, now I know they won't be able to learn anything

Dont add Elon Musk quotes to any serious thing please

no rest for the wicked

More like a lapdog I'm right

> But Mozilla is definitely wasting a lot of money on stuff that doesn't contribute to their mission.

Yes, I have noticed that too and every year they sink deeper with ads and shady choices

If they keep it lean and with a high standard the community wouldn't stop supporting it, but every 6 month or so they make a shady decision and lose more support

Potential lawsuits

Can't read the news just the headline? Maybe that's the crime!

> First, the problems were manually translated into formal mathematical language for our systems to understand.

Some people call this programming

If I had a dollar for each frontend test that actually don't actually test anything I would be able to retire by now!

And mingle with the masses? in SF?

Maybe if they re-invent trains or buses again

I wonder if LLMs is the new low-code.

A promise that is never going to work.

To be fair, JavaScript is harder that most people think, the problem is that everyone thinks they are an expert, so we end up with this kind of problems. There is a lack of engineering discipline and too much hacking!

> CRA was useful when it first appeared because the whole space was a big mess. But it very quickly outlived its usefulness, and its approach was really problematic in my opinion. The config was too complex to eject and modify compared to what you could do yourself with Webpack directly.

Yes agree, but writing and marinating config for multiple projects just don`t scale. Not to mention we need something dirty and fast.

A new solution could replace some of the tools we use today, making it obsolete and not worth maintaining in the future.

Make sense, but the lack of an "oficial" solution doesn't help https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project

So thats why CRA has been left to die?

It depends on the machine, but some people got very fast results. https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc/discussions/57

Why would you use Javascript for that?

No, no innovation in vaporware.

High school project?

GraphQL isn`t an alternative for REST. GraphQL is a solution for very specific cases and even in this cases it has his own drawbacks.

I have been using react since 2015, hooks for the most part seems like a miss.

I use sometimes, but for the most part is overused feature.

I think thats a symptom of a problem with the front end community, people get too attached to the new thing and try to make it the standard instead of building something stable and concise.

Im tired to having to rewrite a code because one library that I had to upgrade decided to migrate to the "new thing"

Maybe we can get a United Ireland by 2024 as Star Trek predicted

Technically 4 days would be better because of the commute and extended weekends for the employee. But as an employer 6 hours workdays would be the best, you get basically the same value of your employees, since mostly office workers don't really work the 8 and also would make then free to study.

You could also go crazy and get a second or third job.

Non-essential dependencies are for the weak and every single company that I worked for.
