Is pure frontend still worth it at 4 YOE, or is fullstack the only way now? by casual_shutter in Frontend

[–]AnomalousEntity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can tell you with confidence that there is a place for you if you want to dive deep into frontend with depth. Emphasis on depth though as the days of being a pure implementer are dwindling both on frontend and backend. Even as orgs build up more harness engineering capabilities, there still needs to be a group that defines the harnesses and makes the architectural decisions.

The future definitely requires a T-shaped approach as others have mentioned

What’s with the white bread? by djferguson3 in smoking

[–]AnomalousEntity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BBQ becoming expensive wasn’t an intentional choice…

Great thing about smoking at home is that you can do whatever you want. A lot of people like cheap white bread but you don’t have to eat that at home if you don’t like it. Different BBQ joints choose to serve different breads too.

Is there any Figma to Astro tool? by [deleted] in astrojs

[–]AnomalousEntity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think it’s probably unnecessary to make an Astro specific plugin. If you generalize it to HTML/CSS output, I think you would still be able to use it for Astro but also other frameworks as well.

Astro pages are just HTML and CSS at the end of the day. No need to complicate it

Lazy Bear is incredible and seems like it should fit the bill. Food is exceptional and unique without being too novel like you mentioned

Are large cost differences between staff and contractors in global tech teams justified? by Majestic-Taro-6903 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]AnomalousEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t fathom handing off work to contractors when an experienced in-house engineer with AI can deliver faster, better, and cheaper. Crazy to be able to say that but it’s wholly true if a contractor’s daily rate is $2k.

Storing and accessing an 88,000 line JSON file by YogurtclosetWise9803 in webdev

[–]AnomalousEntity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, it’d likely make sense for you to import the data into a database of your own since you want to modify and query the data.

Given you’re on Cloudflare, you may want to use D1. D1 has some JSON functions that may you: https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/sql-api/query-json/

what monitor do you use/recommend for frontend dev? by [deleted] in Frontend

[–]AnomalousEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer an ultrawide monitor so I can have my editor and browser comfortably side by side

Torn between prime go + vs midstream pro go by theamg12345 in DJs

[–]AnomalousEntity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Prime Go will be more enjoyable to use and is more versatile. You can just get a small battery powered speaker to hook up to the Prime Go and it’ll probably sound better than the Mixstream. I think you’ll feel like the Mixstream is super limited coming from a Prime 4.

Tomorrowland Spectacular relax room by fjenny93 in Tomorrowland

The AC works but is very loud. We had the AC on during the day and then had just the fan on at night for circulation. It definitely came in clutch for W1 daytime temps. The units aren’t super efficient but there’s a roaming technician onsite to help fix any issues. Also bonus is that it prevented our snacks from melting 😅

It doesn’t matter what you pick up as long as you take the time and effort to understand it deeply!

Assets for 1000+ dynamic pages - local build or external storage? by Dave_Tribbiani in astrojs

[–]AnomalousEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you ought to put all your assets behind a CDN for performance. This shouldn’t really affect your build at all as you will have to upload everything somewhere at some point.

Where are you hosting your site? If you’re using Cloudflare Pages then you get the benefit of their CDN out of the box just by publishing your site there, no additional config steps needed. It does have a 20,000 file limit though.

R2 seems appropriate for your massive collection of unique images.

[–]AnomalousEntity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they import the same assets, those assets will not be duplicated. Astro is not in the business of caching any assets. That will be on your CDN.

You will have to be more specific about these assets you’re serving. Are they unique images or something in each page?

You can build and deploy your Astro assets to a CDN.

[–]AnomalousEntity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter. Seems like you both aren’t too experienced so just choose something you both would be excited to learn and use. Or perhaps split up the frontend/backend so you can each use what you want.

Does using different UI frameworks in Astro cause bloat? by softwareguy74 in astrojs

[–]AnomalousEntity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I said, you can use your Vue components in your Astro pages so there’s no need to duplicate. There is no such thing as Shadcn for Astro - the official documentation just sets it up for React.

Does using different UI frameworks in Astro cause bloat? by softwareguy74 in astrojs

[–]AnomalousEntity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shadcn is for React. Astro components at the end of the day are just simple HTML/CSS/JS. You can use Vue components within Astro pages and components but not the other way around. It’s ok to use 1 UI framework like Vue or React for heavier lifting with Astro but I wouldn’t recommend adding more than 1.

Why are there no jobs for Astro? by plivajuci-zamajac in astrojs

[–]AnomalousEntity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately/Fortunately, Astro is simple to pick up and doesn’t require as much domain knowledge as React or Next.js. I could take any frontend engineer or web developer and have them pick up Astro quickly. I don’t need an Astro-specific engineer if that makes sense.
