Sorry for the Kumu 500s! I moved some critical parts of our service away from EC2 classic on Saturday morning. One of our servers was accidentally recreated with an 8GB volume inst…

This feels a lot like Vim's built in file explorer (netrw). I find these kinds of text based, keyboard centric explorers to be far superior for navigating around a codebase, then g…

Kumu | REMOTE | Full Stack Developer | Full-Time | kumu.io Shit's broken, and we're trying to fix it: https://kumu.io/manifesto Looking for enthusiastic developers to help us build…

Doesn't feel unreasonable to conflate the two. npm is the dominant way to handle dependencies for frontend and backend, even some of the most popular script-tag delivery CDNs are p…

Why is it great to be able to publish a package quickly? You may be a smart programmer who only releases production quality, bug-free, vulnerability-free code, but is it a good thi…

I don't think we talk enough about the downsides of DRY. Reinventing the wheel for the sake of reinventing the wheel (not-invented-here) is a problem, but reinventing it for the sa…

> Give better cues that we are in an asynchronous mental model The `async` keyword(!) is objectively a clearer signal that the code in question is asynchronous. That's why type-che…

My take is that the lack of experience for the average JavaScript developer is absolutely a factor here. I don't think it's the only factor though. Here are some of the other piece…

Tried git worktrees? https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree

Also a climber, and occasional soloist. You can absolutely make a bad move on a solo and not die. The soloists who achieve notoriety are either pushing the limits, or seeking adren…

I don't know of a JavaScript implementation where that approach would work. A synchronous implementation of `sleep` can't yield control back to the main thread to handle the asynch…

There's no performance benefit. Promises/callbacks are abstractions which live in a much higher level programming space. Incidentally, many high level programming languages _don't_…

Go watch Jorbs play (the author). In particular his "over-explained" runs on YouTube are good for getting in-depth breakdowns. There's a bit of an unavoidable learning curve initia…

That wasn't supposed to read as a criticism of Redux. Redux was just popular enough to be the medium where people discovered that you pay a price for the indirection you need to ke…

I would go one step further and say that the counter-movement is the visible effect of newcomers discovering that separation of concerns was a bad decision for the simple apps they…

Maybe overwhelming was too strong, but I don't see many people getting excited about building new projects with Redux any more. Presumably some proportion of that 1/3 are stuck on …

This isn't a solved problem. The React ecosystem has spent the last few years trying a model where the application layer separated from the view layer with a pure functional state …
