I loved my pets, but I can't help but wonder if I wouldn't be more callous/practical about them if I was in the 1800s, back when the infant mortality rate was in the 30-50% range.

I don't have anything personally against htmx, but the general sentiment I've seen tossed around about it has led me to believe that some real hellmesses are going to be calcified in it by "IDGAF about the FE" devs which will inevitably be foisted upon some poor intern to "improve".

As a fellow full-stack I agree.

There's a joke I've told many times in interviews if they ask me to define what a full-stack engineer is, to which I joke "It means I do whatever the senior engineer doesn't want to do, which 99% of the time is front-end". The people I tell it to laugh, because it's funny but also because it's true.

On the front-end you're dealing with more customer/users and it's inherently more of a servile role, while it's much easier to be stubborn, eccentric, 'powerful' in the tech-facing backend.

I'd also wager there's a certain "tech purity" angle too, given the inherent reverence foisted upon lower level languages and programming fields that is seemingly rife.

To play devil's advocate on myself, perhaps it's more that the higher end technical complexity challenges for Front-End aren't commonplace enough. I've had the fortune to work in a field where the level of necessary technical complexity on the front-end part of my job is very high, so ymmv

Interesting, thank you.

Title on the blog is now (changed?):

"End of the Road for Google Drive in Transmit"

The being unfamiliar with Transmit the "and" gave me a startle

I'm curious: is the appetite suppressant effect of GLP-1 different from the one from amphetamines?

> In the USA we don’t have good laws for this.

hence why it's a current go-to in the protestors playbook. If/When such laws are introduced, different tactics will be used instead, I predict.

I disagree. Blocking vehicles as a pedestrian is a nuisance regardless of motivation and ideology, but no one deserves to be run over unless they are presenting a threat that legally and morally justifies lethal force.

After Theranos and WeWork, I'm always skeptical of any Pre-IPO "valuations".

Even worse is the overemphasis on when (in terms of exactness).

Knowing the rough order of events (as per the flow of a story) is important, as is the relative timespan, but a lot of history schooling puts too much emphasis on knowing the exact dates of certain events, which I think really subtracts the experience for many.

The headline contradicts their own claims in the article. They say that corporate roles returning to in-office will give an opportunity to entrepreneurs to poach talent by offering remote work... which would mean that remote work is not dead.

> "It’s strictly worse than using any other framework"

If you actually believe that, consider yourself very lucky.

React, like any FE framework, can be implemented well or implemented badly.

React benefits from a very strong (imo the strongest) ecosystem, so if you set up your tooling and patterns correctly its fantastic.

Here's my personal preference: NextJS as the backbone, RTKQ as the central data retrieval/API calls/caching management, RHF for form handling, ag-grid for data grids, and MUI as the component library (can optionally switch this to any equivalent).

If components are designed sufficiently generic and customizable, RTKQ is used to keep data fetching on component instances, and central state storage is avoided as much as possible, it's a great system. Unless you just really hate JSX syntax or something.

That's the one! Thank you so much!

call me cynical, but this feels like the sort of idea that Amazon would purposefully disseminate. Announce an unpopular measure, then seed the idea "but don't worry, we don't actually mean it" to shift the balance of power back to them (i.e. employees who might otherwise immediately start seeking other employment will instead 'wait and see')

I agree with the elder's response to this fluff. "Apologies" centuries after with no recompense seem rather self-serving.

It reminds me of Busy Beaver

In my experience its more for critical time-sensitive systems that run in off-hours (i.e. if this job fails overnight it needs to get fixed before x time or we'll be bleeding massive amounts of money).

So even if there is tiered support, they'll want an SME on some aspect of the system on-call as a fallback for higher/highest level triage.

That's really terrible. I'm surprised this kind of law survived Germany splitting and then reunification. I would have thought that it would have gotten lost in the wash somewhere along the way.

It's hyperbole like this that makes me a constant skeptic.

Oh, Codium?

My last company had codium on our internal codebases for PR review/summary. I found it neat, but I never saw it make any suggestions that surpassed linting. But as a lazy dev who didn't want to rewrite all the details I put in my commit messages when making a PR, I felt it did a pretty good job summarizing.

Funny story: One time I jokingly asked it to rate the skill level of the programmer who wrote a certain PR (which was created by me). It was very complimentary of my skills, which I shared in the humor chat about how it was a very smart AI. The very next day I was laid off (unrelated, it was along with most of my team).

Not to be terse, but did anyone outside of FB ever care about Hack? Mentally I always just knew "FB built everything in PHP, it got too gunky, they invented Hack to try to solve the issue without needing to rewrite everything"

PHP usually ranks pretty high on many "developer hate" polls, so it's not too shocking to me that Hack never got the hype of React or Golang.

It depends entirely on how you define AGI. From a lot of the occasionally heated discussion on these topics I've found that it varies greatly between people.

I assume they're referring to this:

Not to be glib, but Y for people who hate Y seems like an untenable business plan.

I feel about git how I presume vim users feel. Maybe there are better ways, but I've become so accustomed to how it works that I doubt I could easily switch to anything else.

A stabilizer muscle? I mean it makes sense. Just compare the weight someone can leg press vs the weight they can squat (or deadlift).

While I am a constant naysayer to a lot of the current AI hype, this just feels sensationalist. Someone who blindly trusts "AI" like this would be the same person who trusts the internet, or TV, or a scam artist on the street.

You're missing an important intersection: you can get on a closed-loop cruise from the US without a passport and with a criminal record.

Cruises fill the "cheap Caribbean getaway" segment for the sizable American population where getting a passport or not having a criminal history would otherwise be a blocker.

Arguably it's also a motivator in why Cruises have the reputation they do, but that's beside the point.
