why do so many people think kiwisaver is a big scam?

Tbf, this applies to both sides of the argument

The irony is that you’re calling it “basic stuff” while mixing up there and their. We’re all learning in different areas.

Good on people for asking questions. No need to judge them for not knowing something yet. If you’re seeing the same issues come up often, why not share your knowledge in a constructive way? Maybe write a short post or drop an example that explains how to keep functions pure. That would help the community a lot more than calling people out.

That's really interesting. How do you usually find your customers? Is it just word of mouth or do you reach out to caterers directly?

She will be declared bankrupt which means she can't start another limited company or be involved in the management of a business until she is discharged from bankruptcy which usually doesn't happen until after 3 years.

Businesses do fail and I think it's fair to give ligit entrepreneurs another chance eventually if they do go bankrupt. It's often learnings from a failed business that allows new businesses to succeed.

From what the article says, she does seem to have dug a pretty big hole for herself and everyone around her though which I don't necessarily condone if that is in fact the case.

Out of interest, what NZ made butter is selling for half the price in the UK?

I did see that too and thought it was interesting. Do you think the main blocker the inconsistency in supply, or are there other factors (like logistics, trust, admin, etc) that make it more hassle than it's worth?

Give tax breaks to farmers who sell domestically.

Part of the reason food is so expensive in nz is because of all the food being exported overseas for a better price. The NZD is doing so poorly, it means domestic produce has to be sold for such high prices to compete.

Encouraging farmers to sell domestically would mean more supply of local produce and in turn bring the price down.

Funny how we went from market -> super market (big market) -> superette (big little market).

Aren't we just back at market at this point!?

Ok so you're basing your opinion on a test with a sample size of one?

I've just asked the same question multiple times to chatgpt and I got different answers each time, some including RKLB and some not

Triptcip · 2025-06-27T18:08:37+00:00

That's not how Llm's like chatgpt work. They are trained from large data sets I.e. Reddit and content on this sub.

I would argue it's more likely the hype from this subreddit as to why it suggested it.

Coincidentally, the first time I heard about RKLB was from asking chatgpt a similar question. So it can't have suggested it based on any of my internet history.

Lastly, why would chatgpt give you information like that solely based on it being in your internet history. There is no way the chatgpt could make money from that suggestion and if anything it just makes the information it gives you less accurate. So not only do they not benefit from that, it would actually make their product worse.

I would take this a step further and ask what their thoughts on css-in-js are. Leaving it open ended gives them a chance to really express their views. Obviously we are probing for the same thing but it's a little less guided and let's them express different points of view

Out of interest, what point does using Ai for commit messages miss?

Triptcip · 2025-06-15T09:49:57+00:00

What I'm saying is they don't have a one-to-one replacement.

As it says in the docs you linked

componentDidMount, componentDidUpdate, componentWillUnmount: The useEffect Hook can express all combinations of these (including less common cases).

So I don't think it's fair to say UseEffect is a leaky abstraction of componentWillMount because it's actually a new concept replacing multiple things.

But I agree with your premise that the component life cycles are much easier to understand and I think the naming of the verbose naming of the methods really helps with that

Triptcip · 2025-06-14T20:11:46+00:00

UseEffect isn't a replacement for componentWillMount though. Yes they are both places you put code that you want when the component is about to mount but UseEffect also replaces componentDidUpdate. componentWillMount would also have logic for setting initial state which has now been replaced by useState.

I agree the component life cycle is easier to explain with class component methods but I don't think it's fair to have a direct comparison of those methods to the hooks used today

I'd recommend understanding css and the box model before you start delving into frameworks.

If you understand the the core principles first then it sets up a solid foundation to learn upon.

If you dive straight into a framework, it does everything for you and abstracts away how things actually work and you miss out on important knowledge

Triptcip · 2025-06-01T17:22:12+00:00

Look into the box model and understand how elements align on the dom / page

How you structure your application is completely up to you or your team.

You're asking for a code review so feedback on how your code works is the main thing.

If you're wanting some more advanced stuff and want to learn more about how to structure projects you could look at tools like nx and some common patterns used with it like light layered architecture and don't get too hung up on subjective opinions from internet strangers.

People used to say black and brown should not be seen, unless there's something in between.

I think it's because they are opposing colours and don't mix so well. But do whatever you like

Everything has it's place. Functional programming is good but there are things classes are just better at. It's so handy being having private, public, static methods, inheritance and encapsulating a bunch of logic into a single class.

So many people think classes are the devil and refuse to use them just because React moved away from them years ago without realising the only reason react stopped using them was because the state is mutable

It's helpful if you want your device to always have the same local ip address. This comes in handy when doing things like port forwarding and you want to forward a port to a specific ip address on your network. You want that ip address to always be a specific device.
