No it's not. HTMX is a backend tech; it hinges on moving your presentation logic from the frontend into the backend, hence the whole hype about it supposedly obviating React.

- Why would you pick $backend technology? - Because someone told me frontend was dead.

Probably because the news of frontend's death has been overstated.

The M2 money supply has increased by roughly 48% since 2020. There are probably social consequences to this (as it would be strange if there weren't). Perhaps we are feeling the ne…

Doctors have to undergo minor professional development refreshers — not replace their entire education. There is a reason we educate early in life; it's hard to retrain the old (an…

That would not run counter to the popular (whether true or not) idea that by using functional programming languages you filter for a higher quality labor pool / applicant pool.

Drudgery is not as much drudgery when there is variety. I think a lot of people who see their work as "drudgery" actually just are forced to do one thing and never even think about…
