Site does look great. I’ve not used Claude Design. How much do you feel like you were able to give your own personal touch to it? I ask as I see many vibe coded products that look …

> So my customers will face a new wave of refreshed screens all over the place in coming days How do you determine the changes to make? Do you A/B test? How do you measure success?…

The syntax proposals look fine. But I don’t feel they are needed. Lua is easy to write and grok. I default to using LuaJIT, and have never had an issue with the actual code. Integr…

Yea, not sure what “written in rust” adds to this. I would have thought that you could get the same functionality with a few shell scripts and a package.json.

I agree, this is why the term Software Engineer is in italics or quotes throughout. The article is rant written whilst looking back on a career in tech. The author is clearly quest…

Zed are doing a great job at making the exact things developers don’t want. It’s clear that their focus is on raising funding rather than making a great text editor.

Yes, I have nothing against Tailwind as a technology. My gripe is that you can now prompt an LLM “make a stylish homepage for my product” and they almost exclusively spit out this …

So many software homepages use that tailwind template, or a variety of it. As soon as I see it, it suggests to me a poor quality/rushed product.

First thing I thought to do was add an emoji to the content. But it just shows the unknown char rectangle. I was hoping for magic, I guess.

“Accidentally recording” sensitive data is happening pretty much everywhere. Last year I was tasked with removing sensitive payment information that had been stored in an insurance…

Men that make sacrifices to serve.

I'm sorry for your loss.

You exist solely to procreate. I could not imagine an emptier life, than one without children.

I am totally burnt out. I am a “software engineer” I am great at making things and solving problems with code. I love to code. I am an expert in my domain. But I am employed to sit…

I’ve recently read the third edition of Bjarne’s “A tour of c++” (which is actually a good read). I feel the author of this post could benefit from doing so also.

I really like the concept of this. I'd love a html reference guide (pattern library?) with plain html no CSS or JS to document the basic building blocks of the web.

I’d rather be explicit. If the value is null then it should be explicitly handled. I feel like this is another step in the race to add every conceivable feature to a language, for …

The server rarely has to render/build the html. It will do it once and then cache it. 99% of websites don’t have real time data. They are just boring webpages.
