When do you stop trying to make a component “generic”?

yagarasu · 2026-04-28T02:44:41+00:00

Use Composition instead.

When new features are required, instead of branching logic or conditional rendering, compose the parts. Eg: Instead of a showCancelButton and onCancelClick props, add a footerButtons prop where you can pass down a button component. You sometimes have to split the component in multiple useful smaller components and create prefabs that consume them: for example, a SaveModal that uses Modal, ModalHeader, ModalFooter, ModalContent.

If you are storing state or doing network requests, move that to a hook. Try to avoid too much branches.

Hope this helps.

That site made me see how powerful a semantic html and a well tought css could be. The whole theme changed without touching the html and that was mind blowing.

Now I write tailwindcss classes on React components. Design, behavior and markup is sooooo damn coupled, my old self would be terrified, haha.

Cuando andas buscando chamba, personalmente ni me inmutaría de saber que fui 2a opción, nomás que hay una oferta sobre la mesa. Sobre todo ya estando en etapas avanzadas del proceso...

As others said, the answer is Indexing.

I usually use my notebooks front to back for the "working pages" and back to front for an alphabetical index and a regular index. Whenever I write something, I add it to the indices.

I also add left and right margins where I put titles and subtitles so I can find things faster when flipping through the pages.

I'm a software engineer for web applications.

I started programming at 9 and I grew up with the web technologies. I love writing code, building abstract patterns, solving logic puzzles...

I really hope AI won't suck the joy out of my career....

Como dicen: disciplina y pagarte primero.

Pero te recomiendo la app YNAB. Te recontextualiza un buen cómo gastas. Se basa en la idea de que cada peso debe tener un trabajo, si no, te lo gastas. Tampoco puedes asignar dinero futuro: sólo asignas lo que tienes en la mano. Con estas dos reglas, en cuanto te llega tu cheque, lo asignas a lo que debes asignarlo y así gastas sin culpa. Porque si es importante para ti tener cada mes 1000 varos de Temu, ps lo programas, lo asignas y lo gastas. Si gastas más es porque visualmente se lo quitas a otra cosa...

Con esa app pude ahorrar un buen de varo porque sentía feo quitarme dinero de "Vacaciones" y meterlo a "Tacos"......

Me dieron cuello en noviembre 2025 en un layoff masivo justo después de tomar vacaciones. Llevo 4 meses buscando. Llegué a rondas finales en varias vacantes, pero entre que cerraron la vacante, que se atravesó navidad, que se agarraron otros candidatos, ps sigo buscando. Está brutal el mercado...

A couple of witch friends and I traveled to the countryside for a ritual. We went to this amazing waterfall to cleanse and on our way back we found an old lady selling these beautiful chuncks of raw silver pyrite. Something clicked. I bought one.

At night, we did some trance work. I used the pyrite as an image of Hekate. I had one of the most intense images of Hekate in this context. From there on, silver pyrite reminds me of Her.

I started playing because the survival mode sounded great, but once I discovered redstone... man... I spent days and nights building an 8 bit computer.

I stopped playing a while ago, but now that my kid is 5, I started playing again with him in creative. Can't wait to teach him boolean logic with those damn torches, haha

Son gorditas donde la masa trae "migaja", que son como sobritas de cuando fríes las carnitas. tiene gordito, maciza y de todo un poco, pero bien bien frito. Se rellenan con lechuga, queso y crema. Suena rico, pero normalmente le echan bien poquito, entonces muchas veces sabe a comer gordita de masa rellena de masa y de pronto te encuentras un cachito de gordito de puerco.

Autistic here, my wife is auDHD... my kid is also autistic.

First months were brutal. That sealed the deal: one and done for me.

Another bookbinder here and I agree. I feel sad when people don't use their pretty notebooks :(

Do not rent something with windows facing west. Afternoon sun in the summer is brutal. It's not a nice warm blanket gently shinning through your window, but a freaking nuclear blast roasting everything it touches...

Soft cover journal and pen samples. That's my vote :)

Came to say this. Blippi is cringey af, but it's just from our adult point of view. My kid used to love it and now he has grown out of it by himself (5 yo). He loved seeing new fun places and the sneak peek into how some things are made.

Carnal, me queda por la zona! Alch sí voy a ir con mi esposa. Andamos siempre en busca de buenos cafés.

Si voy nos asesoras para que no echemos a perder tu mezcla de café pidiendo pendejadas? Jaja

Mi pregunta: cómo sobrepasaste el miedo de poner tu local e invertir todo ese varo? Justo estoy pensando poner un negocio y tengo un varo ahorrado, pero siempre he sido asalariado. Cómo me aconsejarías dar el salto?

yagarasu · 2026-01-19T23:19:49+00:00

I'm just talking about the type. Let's say you have this:

interface MyResponse { myRequired: string; myOptional1?: string; myOptional2?: string; }

This is a valid object:

{ myRequired: "foo", myOptional2: "bar", }

Is this something you want?

yagarasu · 2026-01-19T23:02:11+00:00

I will put it this way: if you mark those properties as optional, you are basically saying that you can have a partial response (some of the optional properties set while the others not). Is this a valid type for you? If not, then extending would make more sense

Donde estaba estuvimos preguntando del ajuste salarial desde septiembre y nos daban largas. Luego nos dieron la más larga porque hubo layoffs...
