"If you only listen to people like you you'll end up in a bubble"

Yes, but have you considered that the people outside this bubble are yelling so loudly I can hear them anyhow, and trying to muffle their voices is the only way to stay sane?

@kerfuffle@mastodon.online avatar

@Longplay_Games Also, the group of people warning of the dangers of bubbles and echochambers seems to have a sizable intersection with the group of people who will gang up screeching and drown out any moderate points of view.

I'm pretty sure I can feed my "I agree so much with this, it'd be a shame if it were unfounded. I wonder what counter arguments I can find" doubts without needing access to that group of people.

@blogdiva When you write a post, you can select what language it's in. Many people post in more than 1 language and forget to set it appropriately. If I write in Dutch but set my language to English, everyone with English set as their profile language will not see a translation option - at least: depending on your Mastodon client.

@kerfuffle@mastodon.online avatar

You cannot visit a page from a browser without LinkedIn creating an account based on the account info that you're logged in with on that Chrome browser, even if you cancel the account creation process that LinkedIn automatically starts.

Because you didn't actually create that account, you cannot delete it. You have to complete the signup process just so you can then proceed to delete it.

Does no one at challenge this kind of implementation?

I remember reading @codinghorror 's blog https://blog.codinghorror.com/what-does-stack-overflow-want-to-be-when-it-grows-up/ about SO's future challenges and I really liked how he described its premise (he co-founded SO but left over a decade ago). That future is now here, and it's a sudden and far cry from the community of peers that we all respected: Programmers don't want to be associated with it anymore, and are finding they have no say over their own content and attribution.

Anyone have any web frontend recommendations? I've only ever used HTML/JS, but I'd like to use a framework to maybe make things simpler/quicker(?) I come from a Python background if that helps!

@ashleycollinge

Before picking any framework, I think CSS is most important. After that, I'd go for htmx (and use your Python knowledge for the SSR) as I think that's where the web should go, and for Angular / React if you want to get paid right now.

@zachleat Suppose I wanted to run #Eleventy using its own dev server, but I also wanted to tinker with #HTMX (https://htmx.org) to learn about it.

Q1: Is this possible now?

Q2: Will this be possible in the not-too-distant future?

kerfuffle,
@kerfuffle@mastodon.online avatar

@eleventy @Zearin @zachleat Combining SSR with a static site generator isn't the first combination I'd be looking for, but according to https://htmx.org/docs/#requests any server that can respond to an AJAX request and send HTML would suffice. HTMX 2 will also support websockets and SSE; not sure if 11ty does?

People may want to reconsider using for static web hosting, or at the bare minimum come up with convoluted names and treat their S3 bucket name as sensitive information. If your S3 bucket name comes up in any web search (for example because it's literally in a public GitHub repo), that's a potential attack vector.

It's a matter of making the required discipline part of your team's routine and, through that, culture. It's not much different than including tests.

Code review, planning, daily standup, DoD check, review: check impact on documentation, and plan the effort.

Shower thought:

Monoliths are having a comback. We need a new cool name for that architecture. It is okay to have some small microservices around the core. Something like a planet and its moons. Or if your system is big: a star and its planets...

Should you design APIs based on what you (the owning team) think is the best way to expose your domain, or do you make compromises based on the needs of your API's consumers?

(API here refers to any element of the public contract of your service/subsystem/app/domain/context, such as HTTP endpoints or events.)

kerfuffle,
@kerfuffle@mastodon.online avatar

@nick_tune

You start from any conventions you've agreed on with other teams regarding API design.

Then you focus on what's best for your domain model.

And when you find reality has needs beyond what both convention and model dictate, you inspect and adapt. That means revisiting a convention or remodeling your domain boundary.

@quii Just stumbled on your post and found you on Mastodon. Excellent write-up!

I remember visiting frontend conferences where people were struggling to explain the value of progressive enhancement. Then one year, the frontend movement discovered AngularJS and from there every few months a new SPA thing emerged to solve the mess the previous incarnation left behind.

I am so glad is catching on with full stack developers.
