Ah! Well, enjoying a MUD is still a great shared experience haha. Nothing like them since. I still gravitate to punishing games with obscure mechanics and steep learning curves, an…

I'm sure you mean wotmud.org, and I always look for someone to mention this one in MUD threads, but rarely see it. Man I was hooked on that game in high school. Joined the Lion War…

Yes! Everything else aside, whatever you think of its output and value, shipping largely AI-coded features now doesn't really give me the satisfaction that putting things together …

None of this has been my experience.

Not scientific but I enjoy actually going somewhere. Jogging you can get to places in your neighborhood, but cycling I can get to places in my region. That’s why I get on the bike,…

I think it’s just a Lance joke - cycling has no correlation with TC.

Nah, they’re freaks.

My love of cycling in every form is one of the greatest gifts my dad gave to me. I wish everyone was so lucky to find an activity they were obsessed with that has only upsides. So …

What's a libertarians take on how health care should work? Completely privatized, completely socialized, somewhere in between?

> No one understands TanStack. Sorry to break it to you. Damn, all these years of using TanStack libs successfully, and I had to learn it here that I don't understand them.

No, writing shit in react is gonna be a nightmare regardless of paradigm. HoC, Class Components, render props, whatever - if you don't know what you're doing and react internals ar…

I guess I think it's table stakes to need to deeply understand how the framework you're using works. Lifecycle methods vs. hooks, you still gotta know what's doing what and why.

So your argument is that instead of explicit class component methods, hooks are implicit based on understanding the react rendering model? I guess so - but react could also change …

I think we're just gonna agree to disagree. Cheers.

It wasn't OOP hate, it was hatred of splitting functionality across a number of methods rather than putting it in a single (reusable, sharable!) hook and having your component cons…

You can write spaghetti with class components, too. Doesn't sound like a hooks issue to me.

I just don't understand this take, every time I hear it I wonder if people just haven't spent the time to adjust their mental model. Hooks are IMO the best thing that happened to r…

I didn't realize it was moom giving me my "move app to other monitor" hotkey, and moom didn't launch on startup after upgrading to tahoe. I've been using that hotkey for years. Tha…

This is why I love cycling so much.

Wonder if it's worth squashing in the branch, merging to main, then immediately reverting. Now the work is visible in history, branch can be deleted, and anyone in the future can s…

https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/switch-exhaustiveness-che... if that is something you're not aware of!

You can restructure your JS to avoid some crazy verbose TS though, sometimes. I think that's the point they were making. Why be so hostile?

On the other hand, would we even be talking about it if it hadn't stuck to its goals?

Honestly it's kind of refreshing to just push files to a server.
