That is the question

Are you implementing designs that were given to you or having AI generate the design as well? I could see it being better at the latter.

Frontend dev for 13+ years here. In my experience it’s pretty bad at anything but basic frontend stuff. I’ve tried all the models, editors, Claude code etc. It’s constantly wrong a…

I didn't set up Biome and can't tell you why it wasn't working, but people on the team couldn't get the VSCode extension to show lint errors in their editor (Cursor, primarily). I …

Joined a team that maintains a pretty popular TS library recently. The repo was using Biome. It was unanimously disliked by the team. Linting was broken for most people and in CI. …

IMO, if your star developers aren’t writing readable, maintainable code (at least most of the time, some things are inherently complex), I don’t think it’s right to call them star …

I haven't done anything with Cursor that I wouldn't be able to do without it so far, but for me it's made certain tasks _much_ faster.

Wanting more than the bare minimum, I imagine.

Not a single frontend dev I know in real life has had the same negative reaction about hooks that I often see on HN. I remember some people taking a little longer to adopt them eit…

I can’t think of anything CB put out during his tenure that was interesting at all. IIRC, he was a driving the push for Coinbase NFT which flopped massively.

I really liked how it felt but there was like a 50% chance of me getting sleep paralysis and feeling extreme terror, so my weighted blanket experiment only lasted a week.

I'm so sick of opinion pieces that are written for people who share the exact worldview of the author and are just looking to pat themselves on the back for being better than the "…

I’d rather subsidize a handful of slackers than return to the office.

Yeah, the blue button in each question item is only for reordering. You can move questions without clicking on them first, btw; not sure if my demo communicated that. I.e. If you c…

I worked at an ed-tech startup that allowed teachers to use our bank of questions to create assignments for their students. We found that drag and drop came with a few issues, such…

I learned about this project by YDKJS author Kyle Simpson in the latest episode of JavaScript Jabber[1]. A few folks on the episode, Kyle included, seemed to hold a somewhat negati…

I've noticed that a lot of paid dev tools are just priced too high or that I run the risk of blowing my budget depending on scale. I wish more paid dev tools were aware that I don'…
