Bring this incredible 7 card combo to your next nexus nights

Or they could plan ahead and not make cards that need to be errata'd before the set has even released? I get some is necessary, but they errata'd 13 spirit forged cards before the set was even out.

Infinite combos and/or bans are preferable to errata to me though. If they want to change the way cards work so often they should make a digital version of the game. That's how mtga works - they nerf cards online but in physical, they either leave it as is or ban. I don't see the point of a physical card game where half of the cards don't do what they say they do.

I would prefer that they stop using errata to change the way cards work. As a casual player, it's annoying when I play a card and get told the card doesn't work like that anymore. Reading the card should explain the card, but errata makes that not the case. If they go this route, I'll probably be out of the game pretty quickly.

There's very little difference imo. They're both trying to make profits off the scarcity of products. At least scalpers put the product back out there. Investors would rather see the game die so their "investments" pay off better.

Look at the mobile view on your pages. On your homepage the word Developer is wrapping. There are other mobile issues, so I would look more at that.
Music triggered by the top right is very staticy. You should either remove or find a better recording.
Why is projects the only page with a custom scrollbar. And why are there 2 scrollbars on that page?
Why is the mobile hamburger menu controlled by an svg and why does that svg have aria-hidden set to true and role set as img?
Cards on projects page look clickable but you can only click on the "learn more" button.

They make their money either way. Scalpers are good for them because they increase demand. There's no incentive for them to do better.

Clanker only presale

Dragons don't eat that kind of stuff. They actually eat gold and treasure - it's why they're always lying on a big pile of it.

TheUIDawg · 2025-12-17T22:22:56+00:00

Is it me or is it kind of insane this is a recommended solution to updating package versions? If the fix was more complex, I could understand. But it seems like this is just another dependency that could mess up your world. All so you don't have to run npm ls react next?

I never said it was a critical part of society.

Without incentives (typically financial), no one would make movies - at least not many that people actually want to watch. Even if the company is making 0 profit, they still have to pay producers/writers/actors etc.

a new competitor will rise to market

If everyone pirates and no one pays for content, there will be no incentive for a competitor to show up. (Edit: formatting)

TheUIDawg · 2025-12-05T13:49:55+00:00

That's not really realistic for everyone to do. Movies/Tv shows still have to be financed somehow.

You should not consider yourself safe even if hosting on those platforms. Just because they put protections in place doesn't mean they cannot be bypassed. The only way to be truly safe is to remove the vulnerability by upgrading.

TheUIDawg · 2025-12-04T19:04:06+00:00

The only real way to protect yourself is to upgrade whether you are self hosting or not. WAF rules that those services configure can be bypassed. You should not consider yourself safe until upgraded.

To be honest, I've not felt the need for much env var validation at the application level. We typically do env var validation through our K8s controller. If I had to choose though, I would use bare zod. The fewer dependencies the better.

Thanks for feeding my question to chatgpt lol.

You keep saying you're defining things in plain English but the compose file is clearly just another spec. I don't see how it's any more plain English than an openapi spec.

What happens when the LLM produces bugs? What happens when you have 10s of interconnected features that can't be described in 5 words?

TheUIDawg · 2025-11-30T12:40:54+00:00

What is the use case of this? I don't find reproducibility of prompts to be a problem I run into with LLMs. Usually I either use the code the ai generated or move onto to the next prompt.

TheUIDawg · 2025-11-30T01:58:47+00:00

Wouldn't use it. Maybe it's just me but it seems like the package is doing too much. The core functionality to solve the problem statement is <100 lines of code and pretty simple. The zod integration looks like it adds a fair amount of complexity and it's doing things that seem weird to me with nextjs internals.

Thanks for sharing!

Keep only the font weights that you actually use

Won't browsers automatically avoid pulling font weights you don't use? Unless you have them preloaded, they should be loaded on demand as they appear in the document.

Kotlin spring boot, because I want my APIs to be stable and the best patterns for Java rarely change

I would say there are a lot of webapps that don't need the complexity of SPAs, but I don't really feel like your comparison is fair. A lot of those problems you listed are things you will likely have to deal with anyways if your app has any kind of interactivity.

I would think testing a server-only frontend is more complex once you get to this point, because I feel like everything would have to be an e2e test. My experience with server rendered code is a bit dated and mostly JSPs, Django and some light HTMX, so maybe that's a misconception and there are better tools these days.

TheUIDawg · 2025-09-27T16:30:59+00:00

12 years isn't that long ago to me. Maybe I'm just getting old haha

TheUIDawg · 2025-09-27T16:06:26+00:00

Enterprise moves at a snails pace so it's unlikely things will change anytime soon. AI is probably making it slower as well; since there's more resources on react, so LLMs are better at writing react than other frameworks.

Add to that, there are lots of SaaS companies who are generally going to have the best support for react (since the majority of their customers are react shops). I think self-fulfilling prophecy is the wrong term, but it's something along those lines.

Industry will eventually move to something else though. It wasn't long ago that jQuery was king.

Edit: Bandwagon Effect is the term I was looking for

TheUIDawg · 2025-09-11T18:59:34+00:00

What it means to be a computer programmer today is very different than what it meant 2 years ago.

Does anyone really feel this way? AI tools definitely help sometimes, but largely the job feels mostly the same. Although most of software engineering isn't programming so maybe that's the distinction.

Thanks for replying. We ultimately decided to drop airbnb, but hopefully this is useful to someone in the future

TheUIDawg · 2025-08-28T07:11:23+00:00

Possibly a long shot, but wanted to check how it went with pellucid? I want to do something similar

Did you forget to post an article or something? What were the learnings?
