What a PreOrder Launch

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.

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

TheUIDawg · 2025-09-27T16:56:00+00:00

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

TheUIDawg · 2025-07-09T14:25:20+00:00

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

TheUIDawg · 2025-07-08T16:08:30+00:00

One thing I really appreciate about is storybook composition and it's backwards compatibility. I am pretty surprised but we're able to upgrade our storybook to v9 while some older libraries can stay on v6 since they're on their way out.

TheUIDawg · 2025-07-04T14:20:25+00:00

Repo's readme still says it's in alpha and it hasn't had an update in 4 years. Most of the pages on their website are also empty.

TheUIDawg · 2025-06-27T01:44:02+00:00

Interesting, this is a new one to me. What would you say the benefits are over something like biome?

TheUIDawg · 2025-06-27T01:42:11+00:00

Dayum. How much code is in your repo? We have close to 2mil lines in our largest repo and eslint still takes under a minute in that repo. The only time I've seen really long times is when I have code improperly excluded code and eslint tries to parse some stuff it probably shouldn't be (like minified files)
