The issues were more behavioral for us. You can build the web component however you want, and the venn diagram of acceptable WC behavior vs React isn’t a full circle at all. Changi…

For web components to be consumable across frameworks, you still have to write it to be compatible for different frameworks. Our platform team thought they could get away with just…

This really gets at the issue with JavaScript in the age of AI: it’s just not a terribly statically verifiable language, and DOM work is incredibly prone to failing silently while …

This isn't it. After spending my morning on a code review and catching several major issues despite it being a +7kloc diff, the real question is--how do we make the tooling around …

They have web components if you want

“Build our platform for us!”

Or less!

Integrating these web components into our React codebase has been pretty awful--more of a web components thing than a Lit thing, IMO. We have "scoped styles", except for certain im…

Another part of what happened is that the comment section feels more succinct and insightful than the actual article. Articles have to be long form, comments get to the point. It's…

The leverage has been flipped. We all had awful college classes teaching next to nothing, and now that you can get good grades without attending, what's left? "We lost critical thi…

Oh my god, love these visuals. Geo data is so perfect for dataviz

Honestly it's already working great in Cursor. Even adapting one type structure to another is quickly handled.

I’m sorry, does this send your database to Claude?

Biggest fear as a new parent is basically this. What if my ideals estrange my kid? They’re not bad ideals, but the kid might just not be wired for them. Working hard, doing good fo…

Gotcha, that wasn't obvious on mobile

Well. I guess the demo doesn’t work for react components even when prompted for them? Overall the output seemed best for static demo showcasing, it was all HTML

Obsidian Sync is great, was worried you were describing it for a sec there

In my experience, VS Code’s extension system really shines here. There are also boilerplate repos out there to get started.

The real trick here is dodging ASTs, which, after trying to use in so many parse-the-code projects, really aren’t needed all the time but are put pretty highly on the pedestal

The Austin tech culture is…interesting. I stopped trying to find a job here and went remote Bay Area, and talking to tech workers in the area gave me the impression it’s a mix of s…

"3rd party neutral observer" Taking a look at the rest of the blog, this one's anything but.

I created a code tool that I can use through a VS Code extension to speed up how I work as a programmer. I have it in a private GitHub repo with an MIT license that I pushed up whi…

Yup. Common. With all the performance blogs focused on time to first paint and the like, React introduced a whole new category that looks a lot like this

Any good book recs?
