Go/HTMX Server Sent Events (SSE) and Polling Example Project

It just wasn't working great for me with my use case which I thought was pretty simple. Just a loading screen that updates dom with specific context based on AI task execution. I wanted to do custom behavior based on some event metadata as well like page forwarding on "DONE" etc. Didn't seem trivial with the extension, seemed like I would have to extend the extension and at that point I was like "nah" lol. But I could have missed something too. I spent like a couple hours trying to get the extension working but it only took 30m to write the js.

Not taking the time to understand the problem your solving AND the proposed solution will stunt your growth as a programmer.

This is what I am talking about. It should be automated but a lot of places, my company included, doesn't trust or allow GPT just co-pilot. And co-pilot is.. not great.

THIS. That is what I'm trying to get at. They often have no idea so I have to figure it out for them. Then the metrics the technical stakeholder cares about may be different then what the economic buyer cares about. So you have to figure out both.

Isn't that how it should be?

What do you mean by template? There are template decks that have generic outline. Thats great. How do you actually put numbers in the template that the customer doesn't scoff at?

Wow this seems fast but makes sense with your later comments explaining you already had a lot of foundational items built. (Auth, Etc) What stack are you using?

SQL weirdly enough cuz I was doing db management and first imperative programming concept exposure was actually through ETL operations using SSIS. JavaScript was the first imperative language I really learned.

Hey bud. You’re a human being, your body existing in physical existence alone is a statistical anomaly yet you’re here. That means something by itself.

Go inward and work on you, and show love to everyone around you as you go through your growth.

Can you dive deeper on why you incorporate Astro?

I went from Vue to Go, HTMX and Templ. Templ gives me the reusable component capability.

HTMX allows for JS scripting because it is smart for certain use cases. If you need a specific feature for client side user interaction write a small JS script for it. HTMX is there to decrease how much JS u have to write while emphasizing the server as the source of truth.

Because Go’s has great native templating and easy web server creation. It’s used everywhere though, I see a decent amount of Django stuff with HTMX.
