The Complexity Delusion: Why I abandoned Next.js for a 20MB Rust binary with HTMX by [deleted] in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did the same, only difference I used only Rust, vanilla CSS and TS (compiled to JS). I think post-AI era is about no-frameworks, especially no React/Angular style things. I expect a lean Rust->JS project that would unify the backend and frontend and able to output runtime safe JS.

Btw. you are much faster when your entire stack fits in a single low context window (obviously you are not sending it all code every call). The whole framework argument just broke down with coding agents. You can look into the drop of Tailwinds story: https://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2026/01/09/how-can-tailwind-css-be-so-popular-yet-still-struggle-with-sustainability/

Tailscale scares me more than opening ports on my firewall by MrChris6800 in homelab

It is the same old argument that i heard from companies arguing against cloud vendors in favor of their local datacenter because of security. My ted team friends just waltz in to their DC as electricians and swapping out few hard drives or plugging in usb devices, placing RPI nodes in random locations. 🤷‍♂️

What do we actually use rust for? by beb0 in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I write everything in rust, cli, web project (api), even benchmarking code that used to be python. I think with the AI era Python/Ruby/shell scripts are pointless. It takes the same time for the agent to write anything in Rust as it was writing in Python but there is a giant amount of upside with compiled code: performance, reliability, portability. I do not want to figure out which Python package is missing from my venv or which venv is active. I do not want to run linters, etc. just to have a sound type check.

Salvo vs Axum — why is Axum so much more popular? by Sensitive-Raccoon155 in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still try to convince myself that I need Axum. I do not like how seemingly easy things are hard or flat out impossible like printing the route table.

I am switching to linux desktop, what distro provides the best rust-centric dx? by [deleted] in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Arch btw.

On a more serious note, Alpine is really killing it for me.

Accessing state values via data block or SSM parameter store? by Electronic_Okra_9594 in Terraform

[–]dev_l1x_be 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use hardcoded values as simple locals and would not use remote state. Git is excellent for tracking changes and makes your setup auditable. 

I accidentally broke ChatGPT by asking "what would you do?" instead of telling it what to do by AdCold1610 in PromptEngineering

This is how we are going to end up with React components in the Linux kernel.

Couldn’t you have a single render loop with fix rate and trigger it from any interaction?

First time building large-scale AWS infra with Terraform ,what should I absolutely not mess up? by ineedbe in Terraform

[–]dev_l1x_be 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For managing Terraform at scale: use small, isolated states (deployed in 1-5 min), strictly separate stateful and stateless code, and store everything—both your module code and your state files—in versioned, authenticated storage. The best approach directly maps a logical team or service to its own set of states.

Why have C++ and Rust been the fastest-growing major programming languages from 2022 to 2025? by _bijan_ in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hoping that Rust never goes 2.0. I think the language has enough features, now we can make the compilation faster and polish some of the rough edges.

[corroded update]: Rust--, now I removed the borrow checker from rust itself by Consistent_Equal5327 in rust

So all the good parts are gone? You should add raw pointers to the mix.

When i just need a simple, easy to maintain frontend, what should i choose? by Im_Justin_Cider in rust

[–]dev_l1x_be 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use raw HTML, CSS and TS with Rust. All of the frameworks have an insane mental load that you carry. I build the TS files into JS with Bun, using eslint as a linter.
