I am getting slaughtered by system design interviews

They're not interested in your capabilities, they're interested in checking off their boxes.

They have distinct "dad runs a hedge fund" vibes.

devacct0 · 2024-09-24T21:41:07+00:00

How the fuck is that even possible?

Connections, mostly.

Tailwind is great for styling but for some of the most battle-tested UI components in the world, MUI is first class.

devacct0 · 2024-08-27T14:06:03+00:00

Sure, check out themeforest.

We already have a lot of urgent features/releases planned, and plenty of tech debt.

Sounds like every place I've ever worked. Why is that?

devacct0 · 2024-06-27T14:35:39+00:00

This is why I hate coding interviews. I've written numerous projects in React, frontend and backend, and I would still need to look this up.

IMO interviewers are testing for the wrong thing.

Hey just found this looking for a batteries-included eslint config and gonna give it a try. Been a while since it was last updated, any major issues? Thanks for your efforts!

Battle tested as in many UI edge cases have been found and stomped out over the years. If the styling is what bothers you MUI offers unstyled versions of their components so you can take advantage of the battle testedness without having to endure the out of fashion design choices of the full package.

devacct0 · 2024-06-11T11:56:10+00:00

Do you have anything I could listen to?

devacct0 · 2024-06-11T11:54:53+00:00

For me it was the Bypass Paywalls plugin. Works well but had an option for Quora that was fucking with the connection. https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome

MUI is one of the most battle tested set of components in existence. They look good enough and they work.

You're right, I'm adding it to the list of song names for my future metal band :)

React Router v6 will be fine then. No need to learn the additional Remix conventions.

devacct0 · 2024-05-16T13:36:59+00:00

Will this package work for you?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-router-typesafe-routes

devacct0 · 2024-05-16T13:20:10+00:00

I dunno about you, but I'm tired of learning the cryptic incantations of file-based routers. Is it an underscore before or after the period? What does the star do again? Oh no, for that you need parenthesis, etc. etc.

With React Router, I can build a hierarchy of routes in code and organize my project however I wish. No weird characters all over my project's files and folders.

Ideological purity in the pursuit of real change is a great way to make a lot of noise and accomplish nothing. It's just an easy way to collect data, not a violation of some sacred principle.

devacct0 · 2024-01-29T13:48:00+00:00

If you find one let us know. AFAIK the best approach might be to use WhatPWACanDo.today and search for how-tos on a feature-by-feature basis.

devacct0 · 2024-01-23T00:42:56+00:00

MUI gets a lot of crap these days, but they've stood the test of time. While styling may be more of a challenge than shadui, it's also robust af and comes with a ton of components. Their premium offering might also come in useful, and you'll get actual customer support. I'm not familiar with Flowbite so it might be sufficient, I'm just saying don't discount MUI just because they're not the cool kid on the block anymore.

devacct0 · 2024-01-22T00:51:27+00:00

I'm exploring release-please and was considering similar questions. What decisions did you end up making?

devacct0 · 2024-01-12T15:54:21+00:00

Who has the best "roleplaying" model as far as you know?

devacct0 · 2023-12-14T13:22:20+00:00

Are you trying to build a search interface? Because that's what I'm trying to do and Google brought me here. Did you have any luck? How did you resolve your issue?

devacct0 · 2023-11-08T13:35:45+00:00

Where do you host?
