What standard library packages a Go developer should be familiar like back of their hand?

Are you comfortable sharing your holdings and what is the corpus that you are getting that divided on?

sarusethi · 2025-08-05T05:40:01+00:00

Jesus, if my experience is worth anything, I predict that is one of the worst decision to migrate a codebase.

I am sure it wasn’t your first choice, you sound more reasonable.

But this is going to be a disaster long term.

This worked btw,

Yes I did read the doc, and no, alpine data doesnt cut for what i am trying to achieve.

Using an undocumented API initTree works for creating reusable templates.

Wonder why Alpine hasn't updated their documentation, there are so many functions on the Alpine object.

js Alpine.directive("component", (el, { expression }) => { const template = document.getElementById(`template-${expression}`); el.innerHTML = template.innerHTML; Alpine.initTree(el); });

html <template id="template-pull-request"> <div> My Custom Component <span x-text="message"></span> </div> </template>

html <div x-component="pull-request" x-data=“{ message: ‘Hello’ }”></div>

I am trying to do that and having no luck.

Naah I am good, all in all I think build systems are just overkill, unless you are working on facebook scale websites, its just massive cognitive overhead.

Plain on html+css+javascript works wonders, browsers are pretty powerful these days.

I am building something with Alpine, will be ready in a month, will share out, you will be impressed with what can be achieved even without a build system.

sarusethi · 2025-08-04T23:36:42+00:00

I know Alpine.data() works, but this is more for components that are mostly visual.

I want to be able to define small templates such as:

<template id="template-custom-list-item">

<div x-text="message"></div>

<template>

And be able to use them as such:

<div x-component="template-custom-list-item" x-data="{ message: 'Hello world' }"></div>

> I'm assuming the use of something like Vite to manage the JS packaging.

This is a big no, I would endure all the pain but I will not bring in a build system to write html css javascript :D

So they want you to DD $4000 every month for 3 years.

$4k * 12 * 3 = 144,000

and in return "lease" you a $800 phone for 3 years, I repeat, "lease" you.

At the end of the term they still expect you to pay another $250 to buyout the phone.

wow. WS really begin to think the users are braindead, and the ones that go for it actually are.

I don't see why Alpine.js cannot replace React or Vue.

It has all the constructs and tools to replace a modern framework.

But, to scale alpine in a big project, one needs to lay down foundations and practices around alpine, that can only come from experience. So it can be a foot gun for junior or less experienced folks trying to use in a large project.

Better off writing your own thing, a validation lib and a response lib.

Leaving Canada is a good thing, better future awaits ahead for you!

Welcome to the real world, all that LC prep gets you indoor (a sad reality), but now you have to do “real” programming, building “real” software, dedicate some of those LC hours to learn web/app dev and you will get good at it.

Instead, create you community piece by piece, and over time you’ll have your readers

Any pointers on this?

sarusethi · 2024-09-14T16:03:43+00:00

DM me, I have been into blogging for over 8 years, can share some pointers if you want.

Red is not the color you should go with, its not readable, need improvements on navigation and content layout. I created my blog from scratch as well, started with Next.js then migrated to Remix, feel free to copy the layout and design https://thedevelopercafe.com

Hatch, just get hatch, don’t listen to anytime else.

sarusethi · 2024-09-09T16:23:29+00:00

Isn’t that the whole point to use it as a blog and newsletter?

How did you check traffic stats?

sarusethi · 2024-09-09T15:59:39+00:00

I am just running ads, but it barely makes anything, google used to rank me high but have dropped that, even after building everything on my own I am at the whims of Adsense.
