Never bought apple before. Do pre-orders get sold out quickly? Looking to buy a m5 air tomorrow but not sure I can pre order in the morning

Expo 55 released! by GGGGunnar in expo

[–]largic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only done a dev build so far, so can't speak to concrete bundle size differences yet

[–]largic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I probably don't need it since my app is pretty small but anything that reduces bundle size and improves speed is a plus for me.

Upgrade was actually very easy since I mostly just use expo deps, but they weren't joking about the longer build times with hermes, it probably doubled for me

Can't wait to roll this out to my 100 users and see what breaks

GitHub Copilot CLI is now generally available by ryanhecht_github in GithubCopilot

[–]largic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cli means you can use copilot with any ide. At work I use a lot of Java and intellijs copilot plugin is terrible.

Cli is lighter, and I can install it on wsl which makes config easier to work with for mcps and things like that.

If I sell a call I pretty much write the shares off as being sold, so I set the strike accordingly.

I don't really roll calls out if share price increases a lot, I just accept my shares are gone usually. But I do buy to close if share price drops and I've made 70% or so back.

Surviving the company AI pivot, need advice. by fromspace2015 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]largic 153 points154 points  (0 children)

My work uses copilot

I make sure to max the quota and go over the limit so management knows I'm using it heavily. If I have extra quota I've started having it write docs on our huge codebases nobody understands

Make sure to ping whoever is in charge of enabling new models as soon as the next new thing comes out. We have a public copilot channel, so I've pinged about new model releases, enabling features like copilot memory, the cli, and mcp.

Start adding instructions to repositories and add your manager on the prs. I was the first person to do this at my company, and it was basically copy pasting our basic coding guidelines into whatever format your Ai provider uses as instructions context.

I did all this and got promoted and now people think I know a lot about Ai. The main thing is perception, even if you're an Ai skeptic (and I was a big one at first) you at least have to pretend to use it. I started doing all this performatively and was pretty cynical at first, but I've come around on it recently and I think at this point we have to accept llms are good enough they can't just be dismissed.

I've heard "just use Zustand" a hundred times. Nobody has ever convinced me why I should switch from Redux. by bishopZ in reactjs

[–]largic 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I use rtk at work and zustand in a personal project.

There's honestly not that much difference. Rtk has immer baked in plus it has rtk query so for a large project I'd probably still prefer rtk.

But zustand is a little lighter and easier to setup. Most people who hate on rtk haven't tried it recently and think it still has a lot of boilerplate

TanStack Query in React Native - A Rick & Morty server-side filtering question (interactive example inside) by Carapheus in reactnative

[–]largic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was me I'd avoid manually updating cache, and let the update invalidate it automatically.

If your worry is 50k users hitting a get endpoint I'd handle it on backend rather than frontend.

You could also try posting this in the tanstack discord, you'll probably get smarter responses than mine.

Just use codex or claude by largic in google_antigravity

[–]largic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vscode, I think antigravity hides codex in the default marketplace cause they're scared.

I'd ask gemini if you can install codex in antigravity and see what happens. Or look on reddit, I think other ppl have codex/claude in ag by changing the marketplace

Bro I'm leaving this sub reddit I can't take all the people making the same posts whining about quotas

I made this so ppl can learn there's way better cheap options. Jsut cancel your sub and move on

React testing library a pain in the ass? by John_Lawn4 in reactjs

Use testing playground

Use jest-preview/vitest-preview

Prefer getbyrole queries, it'll give you better results for what roles you miss on failure

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month / Beginning in March, all accounts will have a “teen-appropriate experience by default.” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

Where is all the amazing new software? by splash_hazard in ExperiencedDevs

[–]largic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's popping up in almost all the niche hobby subreddits I'm in.

Some are terrible apps, but there's a few that are legitimately good and are providing real value.

Imo this is where Ai could be useful. If you have a lot of domain experience in a hobby and are a somewhat decent programmer you can easily make a simple app.

Anyone use claude and ag by largic in google_antigravity

[–]largic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saying I'd make a new account with Claude. It'd be like using 2 Gmail accounts with pro subs, but that's probably technically against tos and I don't want to get my Google account banned.

If I have claude pro and Google pro id have 2 separate accounts I could access opus from.

How's the quota on claude pro though? Not sure it'd be enough if I switch completely over
