    At this point, AGI seems to be more of a marketing beacon than any sort of non-vague deterministic classification. We all thought about a future where AI just woke up one day, when…

    > "react's complexity isn't worth saving 5 lines of code" which people would agree with. If you look at the code the example shows, the replication is a bunch of HTML and tailwind …

    This is how Backbone looked back in the day. Not that I agree with him, but there's nothing new to this, it's essentially a basic View wrapper around a jQuery dom manipulator.

    Yes. `useState` is essentially the "two way binding" of React at the component level. You may also enforce two way binding via an external state manager, and pass it to your React …

    Nobody wants to have a discussion about [enter argument of the month here] because it's all BS partisan politics motivated by the right's outright disdain for all things liberal in…

    It seems like there's a lot of propaganda premised on the idea that "both sides are bad", it's just "two sides of the same coin," and it's always the people who know nothing about …

    Is it really partisan to point out that Republicans took anti-vaxxing to be practically their identifying feature?

    Yes, there's a difference between a raging narcissist who can't even seem to tell the truth even if there's nothing to gain from lying and listening to a doctor. But yeah, keep goi…

    Wait, you mean you're an enterprise company and using email for login everyday isn't a viable option for you? (clearly Notion is too cool for people like us to use...)

    Exactly. This is why cocktails you order from the restaurant don't taste nearly as good as they do in store (unless you know what you're doing with them). I can't wait to get drunk…

    yes! I've been using licecap for years now and can't sing its praises enough.

    Not that I think react+redux was a particularly great choice for reddit (given that it's mostly just static content), that post doesn't justify your conclusion that this is the bot…

    There's so many factors that come into play with conversion, though. And this will vary wildly between B2B, B2C, and enterprise. I think marketers have invaded the UX space a littl…
