As someone who created those horrifying RxJS monstrosities, I agree with most of this, which is why I caveated my concerns. Tanstack Query simplified a lot of these issues—separati…

Most UIs I've written in my career benefit from being modeled as FSMs. While I see the value proposition of the atom-based approaches, especially for basic applications, I can't he…

We aren’t good at creating software systems from reliable and knowable components. A bit skeptical that the future of software is making a Rube Goldberg machine of black box inter-…

That's right, Effect lifts all types to a lazily-evaluated common type and provides combinators to work with that type, similar to RxJS with Observables and its operators. Retrying…

I think going all-in on Effect in its current state is not something I'd do. However there's a subset of its functionality that I'm currently replicating with a bunch of different …

The fragmentation around runtime validation libraries is pretty crazy. The fact that half these comments mention some alternative library that mimics almost the exact API of Zod il…

I do consulting for a few restaurants, and despite my experience building full-stack web applications, I find myself reaching for Excel for most of my deliverables. These are "appl…

Do you have any favorite resources (can be books, courses, blog posts) that teach with this approach from? I have been diving more into 3D and the shortcomings in my mathematical b…

I have not used it in production yet, but it's been great for one-off scripts and side projects. Setting up a TypeScript Node environment with ts-node, ts-jest, ESM support, top le…

I like the idea, especially the TS-like syntax around enums and union types. I've always preferred the SDL for GraphQL vs writing OpenAPI for similar reasons. Most APIs I've run in…

ts-pattern has been a decent band-aid for the lack of native pattern matching, but obviously has downsides that could be avoided if it was built into the language. https://github.c…

Thanks for the link! Hadn't seen that release, looks promising. I think this could definitely work for some of our newer apps that haven't fully bought into GraphQL yet. Not sure i…

Thanks for the links! Will certainly check them out, might even send me down memory lane a bit when I was first reading about these. Would love a full-fledged recap at some point—i…

Congratulations to the React team on the release! I've kept up somewhat with the development of these features since Dan first introduced some of the ideas at JSConf 3 years ago. I…

I use coc-nvim [0] for my development environment and love it. The VS Code plugin is a great start to get used to vim movement, but eventually you'll run into some limitations that…

I miss reading the 100 page threads on What.CD about which of the 40 different rips of the White Album was best. Alternatives have popped up, but it saddens me that we lost all of …

Jonathan Blow and no one else clearly.

Yes, almost any routing library will expose a Link component wrapper that properly sets those attributes.

I like the idea that the 200 line event dispatching state atom is more over-engineered than a framework that works off wrapped "observable" objects and uses ES6 proxy magic (MobX).…

I'd love to read something about your experience. We are currently using Apollo for one of our newer projects. We've written Redux apps in the past and understand the tradeoffs and…

Thanks Jason, this was very helpful for me. I think I was having trouble making the mental jump from reading the code as a normal function with state vs how a component instance is…

Thank you for the example, Jake! It was very helpful. You and Jason's answer cleared it up for me.
