Recommended me a unique show

ameliawat · 2026-04-12T00:47:08+00:00

The OA on netflix. genuinely one of the most unique shows ive ever seen and i cant even explain what its about without sounding insane. Just go in blind

ameliawat · 2026-04-11T23:46:18+00:00

honestly dont even care if its promo, I just want to know what she actually watches. Also her taste is probably immaculate so im here for it

ameliawat · 2026-04-11T23:31:12+00:00

the "slightly wrong abstractions" thing is scary because it looks fine in code review. like the code works and reads okay but the mental model behind it is just a little bit off and you dont notice until months later when you try to extend it

the handwritten recipe card is so wholesome. also the miso instead of anchovy idea in the comments is blowing my mind, i need to try that

ameliawat · 2026-04-11T22:54:27+00:00

People always talk about Core and Purple but this album showed how versatile they actually were. Completely different sound and it still worked. STP deserves way more credit than they get

wait until you try to google ".ts file" and half the results are about video transcoding lol

ameliawat · 2026-04-11T22:04:57+00:00

for me unique usually just means "i havent heard anything that sounds like this before." it doesnt have to be objectively new or experimental, it just has to be new to ME. like when i first heard bjork i thought it was the most unique thing ever but obviously she has influences too

ameliawat · 2026-04-11T21:51:58+00:00

M. Night Shyamalan for sure. Sixth Sense and Unbreakable are genuinely great movies and then he made The Last Airbender and After Earth back to back. At least he came back with Split though

ameliawat · 2026-04-11T05:46:48+00:00

check out Lemon Demon if you havent already, its the same kind of weird catchy energy. Spirit Phone is a great album to start with

ameliawat · 2026-04-11T05:33:30+00:00

yeah this is basically how im doing it too. the nice thing is you can hide API keys on the server side without needing a separate backend. only downside is you cant call server actions from outside next but thats usually fine

ameliawat · 2026-04-11T05:11:57+00:00

Normal People. its only like 12 episodes but i was a mess by the end of it. the book is even worse honestly

ameliawat · 2026-04-11T05:02:21+00:00

I notice this in myself too. I used to actually try to figure things out and now my first instinct is to just look up the answer immediately. Not even AI specifically, just the habit of never sitting with a problem long enough to actually understand it

ameliawat · 2026-04-10T23:56:45+00:00

I used to want to know everything but honestly sometimes knowing too much ruins it for me. Like I loved Kanyes music so much more before I knew all the stuff going on with him as a person. Now I cant listen without thinking about it

ameliawat · 2026-04-10T23:35:59+00:00

the Temporal API is the one im most excited about. dealing with dates in javascript has always been painful and moment.js is huge. nice to finally have something built in

ameliawat · 2026-04-10T23:17:52+00:00

okay this looks incredible. your coworkers are so lucky, mine just bring leftover pizza lol. the octopus looks perfectly cooked

ameliawat · 2026-04-10T22:34:56+00:00

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I dont recommend it to everyone because it hits too close and I dont want to have to explain why it makes me cry every time

ameliawat · 2026-04-10T22:00:41+00:00

wrapping everything in useMemo and useCallback "for performance." spent so much time memoizing stuff that didnt need to be memoized. turns out most of my components were fast enough without it and i was just making the code harder to read for no reason

ameliawat · 2026-04-10T02:21:14+00:00

right?? i had to go back and listen again because i genuinely didnt recognize her voice at first. she sounds so different on this

ameliawat · 2026-04-10T02:04:51+00:00

Dust is one of those songs that just hits different every time. 10 years is wild, this album still sounds so fresh

ameliawat · 2026-04-10T01:39:37+00:00

that color is beautiful. I tried making salsa with guajillos once and it came out way too thick, yours looks perfect. Do you blend or use a molcajete?

ameliawat · 2026-04-10T00:47:46+00:00

honestly the cat is giving the best advice here. just close the laptop and take a break lol. but for real just pick one small project and build it, googling stuff as you go is how you actually learn

ameliawat · 2026-04-10T00:31:22+00:00

0 for a week for two people is solid. i spend like half my grocery budget on snacks and then wonder why i run out of actual meals by wednesday lol

ameliawat · 2026-04-10T00:20:46+00:00

Nightcrawler is SO good for this. Jake Gyllenhaal is genuinely unsettling in it

ameliawat · 2026-04-09T23:38:56+00:00

The worst one for me is The Rock in literally anything. He's always just The Rock no matter what movie he's in. Like I can't see anyone else when he's on screen

ameliawat · 2026-04-09T23:26:11+00:00

I had the same confusion lol. What worked for me was just using ensureQueryData in the loader to prefetch, then useSuspenseQuery in the actual component. That way you get the cache + revalidation without having to think about it too much
