In the philosophical sense, sure. But given the context of this conversation, the fact that you don’t have to pay to use GitHub projects is absolutely relevant to their success.

Linear

is your expectation that if you contribute to an open source project that you would get notified if your code is later modified? if I was in your shoes, I would assume that once th…

People are using the term “metaframework” these days to describe things like Remix and Next that build on top of React as the view layer and provide many of the other bits you migh…

I’m the exact opposite of you. I like most of the touch screen controls, including the AC ones, but the number of taps it takes to open the glovebox always irritates me.

Nope, I installed a few extensions to replicate things I had in Alfred, and got a few new features for free

I used Alfred for 10+ years as well, but am a recent Raycast convert. Much larger and easier to use extension ecosystem, and looks nicer too IMO.

Linear is a better shortcut IMO

It’s been several years since I’ve used Jira so can’t give an honest head to head comparison, but my experience with Linear has been fantastic. Looks nice, has all the functionalit…

That price is squarely in the realm of other popular similar products like Squarespace. Most likely not targeted at people who have the skills and time to figure out how to self-ho…

That’s fair. My issue with the mixin approach is that then your app code can hit the database from anywhere you have access to the model object, which makes testing your own code i…

I don’t use Clojure but based on a quick search, EDN is extensible so you can serialize things like datetimes and UUIDs with type information rather than as plain strings

The problem is that coverage of typing in third party libraries is not that high yet, so it’s not really possible to enforce typing in a thorough manner.

I’m not the person that suggested handwriting object methods. As I’ve said, I agree with the point you’re making, I’m not arguing with you, or for any specific ORM design. I don’t …

The quote is about the shift to mirrorless vs DSLR, and the article seems to misinterpret that to support the conclusion that phone cameras are killing photography. They even throw…

There’s not a perfect solution yet (I want someone to release preview DBs) but I currently use Supabase since they provide a regular Postgres instance with a connection pooler out …

Rails and Django are both AR, and are still probably the two most widely used backend frameworks, for better or for worse. I don’t disagree with the overall point you’re making, I’…

Many/most ORMs (the ones that follow the ActiveRecord pattern) do this as well though. I prefer to avoid mixing concerns and use datamapper-based ORMs myself, but what GP wrote is …

I definitely agree that there’s less magic going on with a traditional style deployment, but I think you’re strawmanning Next a bit with this comment. Not everyone uses graphql, an…

Counter argument: if they’re paying designers, why would they not pay for the tools that enable them to be most productive? Figma is a small cost, relatively. Asking them to use a …

They can literally copy the whole directory from their local machine to production as a first step for all I care. How do they test things on production? If there’s a bug how do th…

Source control seems like a straightforward first step, regardless of what approach is going to be taken going forward

I’ve been a Capture One user for several years and it’s a more powerful tool than Lightroom for sure. Layer capability removes the need to go to PS for most simple use cases. Their…

There are third party options you could try like this one (no personal experience): https://github.com/microsoft/parallel-prettier Alternatively, it’s pretty common to only run pre…

I would wager that combination is much less than 1% of 1%
