Love the man.

Don't even know if I should build some LLM-powered tools to fight back magic with magic, or if I should just quit altogether. Agents create the illusion that you can accomplish complicated work with simple prompts, and people become less appreciative of the hard work behind the scenes.

One thing I absolutely hate as a customer, is floating money for something that I buy. If you list your product as in stock. And I buy it, and you realise it is not instock. (happens, its normal). Give me the option to cancel my order. Do not hold my money, especially when the wait time is months.

I posted this 7 months ago about my led lights. Not everything needs to be online. The recent AWS f*ckery is a big exclamation on that.

Somehow in 2025 making a case for performant software amongst professionals is an uphill battle. Why do you want to build your design system around React? what is wrong with css?

Last week I praised EU regulation for their consumer protection laws. This week I am critising it for the idiocy that is tariffs. How on earth does von der leyen and her group decide about trade tariffs that affect ALL european countries in a single meeting.

Since when it is reasonable to provide a only a single year of warrantly for an item that costs 2k euros? In the majority of eastern europe that is 2.5 times the median salary. And on the undeveloped world, that might be years of earnings. Companies doing this garbage should be ashamed.

Today my mac broke,99% it is a hardware issue related to a screen cable. I bought this machine in April last year. By apple's standard it is out of warrantly (1 year). But thanks to EU laws that require companies to provide warrantly for 2 years min I wont pay a thing. Thank god for EU regulation

@astro.build is there a way to donate, and make sure you folks never end up needing to get bought by vercel?

This is actually great! x.com/mjackson/sta...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Pair programming session, the other dev had copilot. I spend 2 hours on what should be 20 mins. Because the other dev kept giving prompts/ writting a few words and expected the AI to generate the function.

Stay away from developers that want to standardise their wrappers around web standards. Someone I know spend 3 weeks to create a reusable form component around a react library written to wrap forms. All this because they wanted to pretend that html does not exist.

This is HUGE: Apple can no longer charge the "Apple Tax" on web transactions. Epic fought up against this anticompetitive practice; took Apple to court and scored a clear and decisive victory. Apple cannot collect a 27% tax on web purchases. Not for Epic, not for others.

Colleague: "I need 32Gb Ram minimum cause when I run my IDEs I run out of memory, Thus i will buy the new X laptop and pay 3k just 2 years after buying my last one." Me: "Have you considered changing your IDEs, maybe to something more lightweight?" Colleague: "Lol, no I am not an idiot"

Bought a new keyboard, since my last one died. Got one of those multi led gamer ones. Can someone explain to me why do I need to login online to get access to the application that controls the light mode?? This is insanity.

My github is stagnatic, I ll be sure to take steps to adjust this.

Japan, I have travelled quite a decent amount in my life. But never, ever have I been to such a wonderful place like here. I am absolutely in love. I ll do my best to visit again as soon as possible. #japan

After seeing the backlash to the recent React docs setup update, I've tackled it myself. I've put up a PR that reworks the "Create" page with better explanations and a "Start from Scratch" section that recommends Vite + routers: github.com/reactjs/reac... I think this should make everyone happy!

Death by Configuration Tooling You have 2 Linting tools You have 3 Code Style tools You have 11 pre commit hooks You have 3 code analytics tools All Running Locally Combine it with no force push policies on non main branches. And now it takes you a few of hours to resolve conflicts and push.

Great break down, very perfomant, proof that you do not need bloated frameworks to make great experiences. Fantastic break down btw.

Love anything Alex does.

Death by complexity.

First ever competition piece. Around 15 hours of work. Super proud of the progress over the past 2 years

City JS Athens is live!!

Now that bluesky is gaining more traction, it feels much better that X. And much less spammy.

I ll be speaking at CityJS Athens in 29th of November. Be sure to be there if you can

This sort of shakedown is why Apple's continuing suppression of PWAs is such a scandal. The idea that services like Patreon need to be "apps" in order to get features like push notifications is a false choice. These should be websites that are on your home screen.

@danabra.mov was messing around with some examples for React 19. Came across this piece of code, at first this felt like a weird coupling thing between components. Then I tried to remove use() from the child and it seems to work just fine. Is use() necessary for such cases?

There is no such thing as over preparation.

Hello @danabra.mov , Do you have any idea what the react team means when they say. Support for web components on the new version?

I should really learn Kafka man....

Youtube is unwatchable, it is so hard to navigate content now days. Back when the dislike amount was visible you could guard yourself somewhat. Now days the volume of garbage posts and content is overwhelming. I do not know how you fix it. Maybe limit the amount of videos one can post in a day?

Despite gains in networks and device performance, the inequality gap continues to grow. Developers are demonstrably out of touch, and managers have been slow to react. The result is a web that sucks to use, GDPR prompt or no: infrequently.org/2024/01/performa…

If you have managed to learn React, be not afraid to learn new stuff, especially in the JS ecosystem. Nothing else out there has that many intricacies and footguns as React.

I wish Spotify's suggestions were more useful for people that actually care to explore new music. Why am I getting ads of irrelevant music genres to my taste? Why not play new releases of bands/artists I like? Why not play similar genres from artists geographically close to me? So much potential...

I wrote a thing: georgeiliadis.com/blog/Templat...

I lean more and more towards stack simplification and monoliths, which should be good for 99% of websites out there. Especially if you own all the data and don't have a dedicated mobile app.

Hey @danabra.mov any idea if the web version of bsky. Going to stay in RN? Things like key presses to close modals and what not have been a bit annoying when using the web version.
