No one will ever read my shitty open source code -> Codex is now writing my shitty code for everyone

The reason AI-written code doesn’t hold up with the same scrutiny of creation that writing does is because a user never consumes the code itself - just its shadow. This is the allegory of the code.

I once spent 6 weeks as an intern building a graphics processing pipeline using imagemagick to render rounded borders on avatars because browser support for border radius was basically just chrome at the time. You youngins have no idea how good you have it with CSS these days.

it's wonderful when a plan comes together. my framework timber is designed to slot perfectly into this architecture. though I'd still prefer you to deploy to a dedicated CPU, our workers support will handle this on day 1.

We never built user accounts into Relisten because we didn’t want to steward and hold your data. We’re now hitting the wall where we need it after 13 years (it’s coming) but things like ATP inspire the portability there. And we may even build on ATP itself.

At the end of the day ATProto is largely just a public WAL that fans out Which is pretty cool

HN denigrating shadcn and the pattern of owning your components just goes to show how little they understand about frontend and web in general

if you have no idea what you're doing, writing code with AI is so rife for error. even a junior engineer wouldn't architect code this poorly. it's wild how many architectural designs I will iterate on with AI before settling on an architecture that makes sense.

HTTP QUERY method slaps so hard, excellent verbiage and functionality

can someone explain 'use cache' to me. for the network boundaries I understand, but caching necessitates options which can't be passed through a directive. so you end up with hanging function calls in an imperative body just to declare its parameters?

pretty fascinating, but on Relisten: Billy has almost double the listeners of Goose while the latter is on tour and the former is not on spotify the numbers are even wider - which makes more sense imo spotify: billy - 2.3mm/mo goose - 600k/mo and get this phish - 500k/mo

static is a premature optimization 🦆

@swizec.com posted about my new framework to his blog and twenty people signed up for access. pretty cool. looking forward to onboarding a few more people and rounding out the surface APIs. 🪵

@chopaganda.bsky.social these are your people?

wish there was an html attribute called initialScrollAnchor="#foo" or something similar to force scroll position from the server

Walked into Patagonia to repair my 6yo backpack, they said they could repair it but it would take a month. So they offered to replace it for free & fully recycle the old one. I accepted the replacement but cried when they took my old bag. We had a good run. Hug your loved ones.

oh god I’m really gonna do the stupid thing

Just spotted this old thing on the shelf at my parents house classic

hot damn, 3min to deploy 1960 MDX pages with @saewitz.com 's new framework blog is the perfect fit for a RSC-native framework, this is gonna be great

so about that bun rust blog post

Stop solving perceived performance problems by adding more and more finite states to your UI. This is the fundamental flaw most frontend teams make. There are other ways.

I now have three partners building real websites with this young & fresh react framework. Looking for two more. You’ll learn quite a bit through the process. Hit me up.

ai model companies getting mad at companies distilling their models while they distilled the corpus of human writing is laughable at best

the problem with trying to build venture backed communities (in earnest) is its success is inherently at odds with its mission growth = volume = revenue = slippery signal to noise

Are you finding yourself constantly battling your own web architecture? Does your website feel inconsistent and you don’t understand why? Have you built a rich experience but lack web standards like proper status codes and headers? Do you struggle to build out new features w/out breaking old ones?

Knowing how tech companies work there are meetings where they unironically figure out how often they can ‘respectfully’ send you marketing push notifications. Then they pat themselves on the back for being so cool about it. The correct answer is zero. Never

claude: I can't write out song lyrics for you google search AI: killer tune, here's all the words

Looking for a few design-partners who would like to build a website in an experimental new web framework. I can pair program with you or offer async help. And I'll lend you my expertise in user experience and frontend. This will help shape the beta release of my react framework.

One of the wonderful things about working alone is you can take three weeks off without feeling any pressure to think about a problem set. No emails, no meetings, no pull requests to peek at. The motivation always comes back around - and it really helps to avoid burnout.

someone asked: "how are people dealing with claude code creating 20 goodish pr's in 10 minutes that then all trip over each other"
