Judging by the amount of insider interviews it's more than just ads. Longtime subscriber. Pretty disappointed in how biased their coverage is. The most critical piece they have put…

Anthropic is a sponsor of The Economist. So maybe that influences their retoric somewhat.

Also worth pointing out Anthropic is a sponsor of The Economist. Probably muddies the water some more.

Agreed! Cloudflare absolutely destroys user experience and honestly doesn't seem that effective in practice. What's worked for me is I block any client that don't support brotli co…

So compression ratios with streaming compression (brotli/zstd) come down to the regularity of the data, the size of the change, and the size of your window. Basically, if your html…

It's nice to see HTMX4 is adopting the core strengths of Datastar. That sort of cross pollination of ideas is a huge boon to the wider hypermedia community in general.

A focus on morph by default means you don't have an explosion of endpoints and can write programs like the 300 redirect days. [1] Once you want realtime/collaborative app SSE + mor…

My experience was similar. I'd wound down a startup and as a solo developer could no longer afford to do react + a backend. So I tried HTMX, then turbo (which introduced me to morp…

Sqlite with litestream has a smaller default window of data loss than RDF. 1s vs 5 minutes.

I would only recommend sqlite if you know what you are doing (and/or prepared to learn it inside out). It's more of a build your own database primitive (often you'll have multiple …

Personally, I think the better way to tackle sqlite_busy is to have a single writer managed at the application level. That effectively eliminates sqlite_busy in the context of a si…

> The bottom line Is how Claude ends 90% of articles. So yes LLM slop.

Maybe maybe not. In large organisations for each person creating value with LLMs there are probably more destroying value. Bob used to only waste one person time with LLMs he can w…

Philip Walder (one of the creators of Haskell) was our lecturer for my CS introductory course. I'd never done any programming before then. Yes, imperative languages were initially …

Yeah compile times have always mattered. It's why games often have a scripting layer in lua despite the engines being C/C++.

Lisp/smalltalk programmers have been going on about this tradeoff for a long time. It mattered before LLMs too. Lisp/Clojure repl allowing you to compile tiny parts of your program…

That's partly the problem ORMs. Lowest common denominator that prevents you from leveraging a lot of the power of your actual database.

Wait what? gpt5.5 is better than fable. I thought fable was the endtimes?! Wonder if this is because fable swirches down to opus for somethings without telling you?

Neither of the companies you mentioned are listed.

Personally the main advantage of monoliths is performance.

Yeah, it's an intellectually intoxicating idea but incredibly hard to get right. For me the problem is that in practice it only fits really well with quite a specific subset of pro…

> Generalization breaks down for offline-capable applications. Offline writes require conflict resolution, create authorization edge cases, and demand coordinated schema management…

I honestly think streaming HTML is a game changer for collaborative realtime web apps.
