The optimistic outlook: Just like this has made Web devs into Mobile devs, so could Mobile devs leverage AI to work in Web shops. I'm not an optimist but there could be an increase of available apps being created which…
Astro is still fundamentally different, it's not server-side rendered in the sense of dynamic pages. I can't, in a language agnostic way, use Astro to receive a request, get data from the database and render an HTML…
Components as in React, Vue, etc requires a complete overhaul in frontend rendering, many dependencies, changes in deployment and even have an impact in organizational structure. If one wants to do server side rendering…
That only matters in context: if this repetition allows you to forego React and a zillion JS libraries you’re better off in the end performance wise. I have never seen a single website where performance downgrade was…
> The only problem is not every car on the road has it yet. Yep. ADAS should be mandatory like seat belts and airbags. A regulatory body should be able to come up with a minimum standard for it.
ADAS + human driver seems enough to solve most of the shortcomings of both human and robot drivers. Full self-driving doesn't strike me as necessary to prevent deaths.

They achieved $2 million revenue in the first 5 months of the first Tailwind UI release.[1] They had a very good run for such a project. [1] - https://adamwathan.me/tailwindcss-from-side-project-byproduc...
It definitely changes some aspects of good engineering. I'm not a huge AI person but it's obvious a host of great tools we've built to deal with our challenges would not have been significant if we had LLMs. A very…
This is a good discussion: do LLMs change the calculus for DRY? A major point of components is having a single place where you can change design and behavior across your entire codebase. With LLMs you can with very good…
I made this point at the time but Tailwind Labs' business model shouldn't exist. It irks people because they wanna blame AI for it but they were coasting and should be happy it lasted this long. Tailwind's business…
I’m equally surprised how many people read extremely low quality pop fiction nowadays. Especially those romantic/erotic books. Those were the kind of book you’d be laughed at for reading back in the day. Reading…
I think you’re underselling it. You’ve listed several projects with many thousand man hours in development. It’s telling that in Python there have been multiple package managers over the years to fix the broken status…
Indirectly, maybe 8 years after Electron was first started, and not for the company that first invested in Electron. My point yet again: only companies with money to burn can take that gamble.

There should be a concept called "engineering privilege". I see some companies do things that are widely out of their core product and engineers there just having fun with a bunch of different stuff with seemingly no…

It's not "prohibitively" expensive if they managed to pay for flights to the US, hotels and then buy several pieces of hardware. They definitely had more than enough money to buy whatever they wanted in Brazil. It is,…

A "Pay with PIX" button is just a QR code. You reach the payment page, the merchant website generates a QR code, you open up your bank app, scan the QR code, confirm the merchant and the purchase, the merchant website…
External battery banks are a better reducer of e-waste as they'll work for all devices and not just the one cell phone.
That's not cynical. Trump has done the world a great benefit by transparently saying out loud what was hidden US policy for decades.
In the matter of drone production, which was my point, it doesn’t change the calculus. It is evident that short of regime change or popular upheaval Iran can produce or import drones indefinitely and the only thing that…
