What is the strong argument exactly? Odin coexists happily with Zig, Rust, C3, nim already, no?

I think both Bill and Jon have discussed this at length and are both mutually respectful of what problems each are trying to solve, could be wrong. At the least, I think it's disin…

I have had similar questions, and am still evaluating here. However, I've been increasingly frustrated with the sheer volume of anecdotal evidence from yay and naysayers of LLM-ass…

How does their stewardship of a CSS library exempt them from being a valid company? The fact that the market is competitive alone isn't justification. I agree that it's not obvious…

For your first question, IMO the purported advantage is mainly convention at scale. There's nothing inherently wrong with raw CSS in style tags or other authoring models (well, exc…

A few days ago I was trying to unsubscribe to a service (notably an AI 3D modeling tool that I was curious about). I spent 5 minutes trying to find a way to unsubscribe and couldn'…

For me, no. I hate writing applications, but not sure automating all of it is beneficial to either party. Applying sucks, I get it, but... As an applicant, I often discover reasons…

Feels like I'm working on a million things (between work, side contracts, and creative explorations). Recently a friend asked whether AI is helping or hurting my workflow. And I re…

The project at a glance looks interesting, but it's difficult to tell what the target audience is. It doesn't help that the "About" link (which is actually a button) doesn't seem t…

I stand corrected--didn't notice at first. I do prefer the crossfade, admittedly.

Bun is built on web standard APIs [1]. Is your point that it's not _industry_ standard? [1] https://bun.sh/docs/runtime/web-apis

Couple other notes: You appeal to simplicity a lot, which is great! Contemporary frontend is way too complex. But a lot of what you're saying comes off as too black and white and r…

I resonate with much of what you've written in here. In particular, the cultural costs. I work on a "frontend platform" team at a mid-sized company and spend most of my day trying …

I believe the "obnoxious blur" is a common view transition API animation [1]. Astro uses similar as a default [2]. 1. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/View_Transi..…

I think the point is that "the man behind" connotes direct responsibility, not indirect inspiration. It's misleading wording. You might try "Dieter Rams inspired Apple's design phi…
