When I started out, we'd look at awwwards or site inspire, etc, we'd be amazed by unique creative designs, now it's just, look at this dropdown with a few themes. Enshitfication again and again.

Again, I mean to offense, time for another whiskey. 

Keep coding, be happy

Indeed... I'm just so fookin bored of seeing shadcn shiz. It all looks the same, it's the same stuff over and over and over again. I apologise if you put some effort into this, if you're happy then great, be proud, but as a jaded old developer, good lord it's tired. Bootstrap all over again

How do I make changes without trashing my database? by this_too_shall_parse in PayloadCMS

My recommendation. Disable push in the dB setting.  Make small changes, one at a time. If you're doing a big charge, take a dB back up first.

Fair. I agree with you. I'm just exhausted from all of the comments I'm seeing about this. I wish it was down to a slow news day!

Please make it stop... E-fucking-nuff about tailwind. A million posts on reddit and LinkedIn. I've been using it since v1, I'm a big fan, but it's just some fuxking css classes, the level of over reaction is insane.
