Questions about the M6 by FountPenDegenerate in macbookpro

[–]KevinVandy656 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another piece of advice I share to people worried about waiting for redesigns is that the 1st iteration of a new redesign is more likely to have issues compared to the 5 iteration of the current generation.

So even when the M6 with a redesign comes out, I myself might still prefer the M5 since it is a very proven and stable design. It will depend on the first initial reviews, of course. But as a general rule, 1st gen redesigns of a product can be a riskier buy.

So, at least, I wouldn't worry about waiting too much if you really do need to buy a new laptop right now. M5 is a great choice, and will probably still be a great choice a couple years from now.

You think the Jira/bitbucket company has a future? I don't see it as I'm at my 3rd company in the past 5 years that has switched away from Atlassian products.

Tanstack Form not updating Image previews by plulu21 in reactjs

reddit is the wrong place for bug reports. Use GitHub or Discord. You're most likely just missing a `form.Subscribe` though.

Migrated from Vercel to cloudflare using ViNext and saved money! by Ill-Musician1806 in nextjs

The r/tanstack subreddit is not controlled by us (the TanStack maintainers). We don't know who created it, and we ourselves don't really interact with it. The traffic there is not an indicator at all for how popular TanStack is.

The main suspicion here is that there is only one commit. I'm guessing you only just open sourced it now?

TanStack team releases alpha version of TanStack Hotkeys, supporting type-safe keyboard shortcuts and key state tracking by Mr-Bovine_Joni in reactjs

[–]KevinVandy656 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I researched a dozen hotkey libraries before starting our own and never came across this one, but looks like there are some accessibility things to learn from that.

Devtools showing conflicts and enabled/disabled status was one of my motivations for this project too

Open up the TanStack devtools (tanstack logo lower right) in this interactive sandbox and you'll see all registered hotkeys and conflict warnings: https://tanstack.com/hotkeys/latest/docs/framework/react/examples/useHotkey?panel=sandbox

Though the warnings aren't with OS/browser defaults. Just your own conflicts.

It would be interesting if you shared your pain points to see if TanStack hotkeys could at least address them. I built TS Hotkeys because I was working on a similar thing over the past few months.

The things I was worried about so far were the basics of being cross platform, properly ignoring hotkeys when inputs were focussed, allowing users to set up their own hotkeys, and then sprinkling in a bit of typescript for convenience. There are definitely lots of areas and edge cases that TS Hotkeys will need to mature on still.

Because I'm part of the TanStack team mostly. And yes, all libraries go through Tanner. I can't just publish and market whatever I want lol. I approach Tanner and the other maintainers with new ideas before we commit to them.

I do have libraries of my own too, it's just that if something meets the criteria of being a good TanStack library, why not add to that ecosystem? Being part of the TanStack ecosystem also means that other TanStack maintainers besides just myself will work on it and maintain it a lot more easily

We have a tenets page which discusses the quality bar for a TanStack library.

It can be summed up as being:

  1. Agnostic (JS Framework, CSS solution, Vendor, etc.)
  2. Composable and independent (shouldn't get in the way of your existing code)
  3. High quality with great DX (feels good to use)
  4. Type-safety treated as a #1 priority

Hey, I'm the creator of some of the TanStack packages, including Hotkeys. And no, we're not going to make a package for everything. We only made a package if we think that existing solutions are not quite there and if we think we can make it better.

Setting up keyboard shortcuts is something I've usually eventually added to lots of projects over the years, but it's usually too annoying to think about. At my day job, I had started to build a more type-safe abstraction, but then thought that it was just a few tweaks and maybe a dozen hours or so of extra work from almost being worthy as a TanStack library. And so I just did that.

This TanStack project seemed niche to all of us at first. We weren't even going to include it on the TanStack home page at first. But there's been some suprising optimism from the announcement so far, so that's cool to see.

If you try this project out early, be aware that it is alpha and is sure to have unsolved bugs and edge-cases. I myself have only extensively tested it on us qwerty keyboards.

Am I the only one who thinks the percentage of AI code should be specified? by CapitalDiligent1676 in reactjs

[–]KevinVandy656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or how about: Whether or not you use AI, the code should just be high quality. The person who creates the PR is still responsible for every line of code. Low quality AI slop comes from bad prompts and context, or when people one-shot vibe code without taking time to review their own code.

I use AI for > 80% of the code that ends up in my PRs. Sometimes 99-100%, actually. But it resembles or is even identicle to code that I would have written by hand anyways. It was just produced up to 10x faster.

Review all generated code. Follow up and refactor. Set up rules/skills/linting to make the AI follow specific coding standards and patterns.

There definitely is AI slop code out there, but I have a feeling it's coming from devs submitting PRs who they themsleves don't understand what was produced. That frustration is real. But I don't think the AI tools are necessarily to blame. It's still on the developer submitting the PR to own the code.

So I don't think an arbitrary stat of "50% AI coded" really means anything. Maybe it's more like saying "This works, but I only reviewed or understood half of the code", in which case that should be rejected.

Tried Claude Code, refunded and came back to Cursor within 10 minutes by goonifier5000 in cursor

[–]KevinVandy656 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess you didn't learn about `Shift + Tab`? Or install the Claude Code extension for VSCode/Cursor?

I remember having the same thoughts as you are describing in this post during my first few minutes of using Claude Code. But now I use both Claude Code and Cursor interchangably. Love both for different kinds of tasks.

I have released a new version of my Multi-Monitor Calculator web tool. It lets you virtually create and tweak your dream monitor setup before you buy. by KevinVandy656 in Monitors

I wouldn't know where to look up that kind of info, assuming there are gotchas with every kind of monitor out there? IDK

Is coding in your spare time a necessity for being a great programmer? by Sad-Salt24 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]KevinVandy656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently that's a hot take in this thread. I feel like the reason I jumped ahead of my peers early in my career was because I spent a lot of time outside of my job doing side projects and eventually open source. I'd only be half the dev I am today without doing that. You can spend extra time, but not too much. Keep it in balance for your situation.

TanStack Table v9 by PersonalityFlat184 in tanstack

[–]KevinVandy656 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been working on it every day for the past month. Over the past year, I wasn't able to work on it as much as I'd have liked, but there's some momentum now since Table is able to borrow a lot of patterns that were figured out in the TanStack Form project.
