while I understand why, I'm missing all the content about actual software development and instead everyone is talking over AI-related topics

one of the good things that RSC have is that it made state a lot simpler in components that have multiple API calls as it's eliminate the need for handling all possible states that may happen if something is still loading or if something has failed

Tactical vs Strategic programming was mentioned in "A Philosophy of Software Design" by John Ousterhout, but this was in the context of traditional, pre-AI software engineering. What if this idea can be also applied to programming with AI agents?

using ai agents make me wonder if some of the classic coding best practices will still matter anymore? though I personally can't think of any common best practice that ai-based coding won't benefit from (DRY, KISS,... also if we are going to see new best practices aimed to help ai write better code

my first thought was "creating a repro like the one in the example is such a chore!" then i remembered that i spent the last 2 days on a bug trying random theories that were just a waste of time.

this has been posted around a lot, but god, can't stress this enough got frustrated by a web app that uses them for all numeric inputs and UX is just terrible (especially scrolling)

Why the GOV.UK Design System team changed the input type for numbers

We take a look at why the GOV.UK Design System changed the element it uses for inputting numbers, making it more accessible and easier to use

doing weightlifting you might mistakenly use weights higher than your usual ones and still be able to complete the set (even if with difficulty) cause you "believe" this is something you can do i wonder how many weights we are able to lift but we believe we can't

You’re right, this might not be the best path. But “thinking” and “waiting” won’t move you to the best path. Walking down this path, with open eyes, is how you find the best. (Anyway, “best” is an undefinable illusion!)

shipping software has never been so accessible, no I'm not referring to vibe coding, but for the frameworks and services that make building a fully functioning app a few steps away.

Code comments by Al are useless, harmful, in fact. code comments by Al are always "How" and not "Why", and that's exact opposite of what good comments are, so they're useless

it's such a fun to be a generalists in the age of AI

11/28 and I thought I was good at JS tricks

new Date("wtf")

How well do you know JavaScript's Date class?

I made a quiz about the JS Date parser is. It's very easy and you will score very high. jsdate.wtf

The New Skill in AI is Not Prompting, It's Context Engineering

Context Engineering is the new skill in AI. It is about providing the right information and tools, in the right format, at the right time.

Nextjs <Image /> is just expensive

really crafty form-filler extension for testing

I've been using @hono.dev RPC recently, which uses fetch() API directly for the client, so you need to read the response using res.json() every time, and currently hono doesn't provide a way to customize that But you can use JavaScript Proxy for that:

JavaScript Proxy object is just cool getting the typing right is a bit of a challenge though I think I'm gonna write a post about it if i get to work

from Saturday's aleppo dev meetup first image i look like I'm saying something grave (it was a discussion about blogging for devs lol)

organising a dev meetup in my city and wow there're so many things to worry about

#Designing_Data_Intensive_Applications backward compatibility (new code can read old data) is achievable if the fields you're adding are optional or have default values but forward compatibility (old code can read new data) is harder cause you can only remove optional fields

How do you stay up-to-date? i got asked about this recently more than once and i narrowed it down to: - Newsletters: for articles and deep dives - X, Bluesky: release announcements and the like - Reddit: discussions and then there are podcasts but not much value imo

trying it out with @elysiajs.com and it's just *better*

spent an hour setting up better-auth.com only to find out Nestjs is not supported yet welp

I yet to find a government docs that doesn't suck

I hate that Linkedin actually works

apparently SQL competitors at the time used imperative approach instead of the intuitive declarative approach that we're used to today kinda crazy people did queries this way at some point #Designing_Data_Intensive_Applications

this tool make me think how many stuff are a real pain but I never try to find/think of a solution and just accept reality subconsciously, even though the solution can be a very simple one github.com/antfu-collec...

#Designing_Data_Intensive_Applications Document databases are sometimes called schemaless, but that’s misleading, as the code that reads the data usually assumes some kind of structure—i.e., there is an implicit schema, but it is not enforced by the database. A more accurate term is schema-on-read
