I’ll add to that that the developer experience as of about two years ago was so abysmal, we had to recommend a client go with another technology. https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/112210040845319372

Auto-generated HTTP API clients were a mistake. 🔥✌️

Look, I finally caved. I had a networking scenario that was super easy to resolve using Tailscale that was a pain in the ass otherwise, and I finally got myself an account. It is a wonderful tool and as good as everyone said. I’m now starting the inevitable “broken-by-success” stopwatch and keep an eye out for things to switch to when that happens.

Dear “X’s syntax is heavily inspired by Ruby’s, so it feels natural to read and easy to write”, please do some programming language ergonomics research. A sizeable amount of us can’t deal with Ruby-like languages, me included. So if you say something like the above, you’re telling me I suck and I lose all interest in your X. ✌️

I’m currently binging a long-running podcast backwards (don’t ask) and it is enormously funny to me how Egon Mosk’s common public reputation goes from kinda lovable goofball to complete write-off in reverse over just a few years. ;D

Just did a task that was open since Feb. 20th that will unblock six teammates doing full-time work starting this week. It took 5 minutes 35 seconds to finish. I will, again, learn nothing from this.

Disappointed in y’all that I saw lots of grumpiness about April fools and only one legit prank (Takei leaving social media, ahahahaha). That’s why people say this place is no fun. Please more weirdness. ✌️💛🙏

So has anyone done a list of all OS packages grouped by “their recent commit history has only one person” and sorted by how often it is depended on (or depended on by base-distro packages?) #xz

The guy who found the xz vuln masto bio reads (paraphrasing) “this account is for tech, not politics” and the cause of the vuln is maintainer burnout that could be avoided if not for corporate greed. But you do you. ✌️

[update: dear reply guys, the fact that he has a separate account for politics makes this worse, not better]

@brianleroux seeing you’re awake, I am looking into enhance-ssr and got confused here: https://github.com/enhance-dev/enhance-ssr?tab=readme-ov-file#node

Why am I passing an initialState property if it ends up as state.store inside my render fun? Shouldn’t it be initialStore then? (note I know nothing about WC standards so this might be a thing you have to do), but it really trips me up because the store key comes out of nowhere.

Has anyone toyed with distributing “closed source” #JavaScript modules as V8 bytecode? I know you can pre-compile and load bytecode just fine. I also know that to some degree you can turn bytecode back into JS, but is that result useful enough to make the shipping as bytecode a moot point? And are there other options? Can WASM help?

(I know no solution is going to be perfect)

I run this nightly and so should you. ✌️
