I'm very worried with all this bullshit around TVs. I've been running the same Samsung UE40C6530 since 2010. It's 16 f'ng years and the thing works flawlessly like the first day. N…

Proof of not being built with React: It's fast.

Proof: site design

So you don't have a redundant server until $1marr? That means you also don't apply updates to the server/kernel that require a reboot until then? Or you accept the downtime? And wh…

Dexie is my favorite, although I haven’t tried them all of course.

This. Only backend developers that think frontend is trivial and we’re all just idiots think that HTMX is the solution. They saw it working in their hello world side project and th…

You're mixing programming languages with software architecture.

This is why I'm a big advocate of Inertia.js [1]. For me it's the right balance of using "serious" batteries included traditional MVC backends like Laravel, Rails, Adonis, Django, …
