This is what Angular does, where an Angular component is typically rendered as a custom tag. I find it to be one of the (very) few nice things about Angular, as it can be helpful t…

Great nostalgia! I fondly remember QuickBasic, and how excited I was to compile my BASIC code. And the rarely mentioned gem I thought was amazing at the time: Visual Basic for DOS!…

All true, but glosses over a lot of nuance and wide variety of contexts, particularly B2B. We’re likely going to switch to Cognito because maintaining OIDC auth has been a pretty b…

I really like the Decoders library for this. Similar in function to Zod, but a more Elm inspired approach - https://decoders.cc/

I've read that Angular is also extensively used for Google internal projects. How do the teams choose between Angular and Lit?

PDF processing seems like a security minefield. What are folks doing to mitigate that problem prior to (or as part of) processing? Or as part of any system that accepts PDFs with t…

Nice overview, especially for those of us working long term projects and locked into whatever framework the originals devs chose. I wish I had time to try all these things out, but…

This seemed like a really great explanation. But I have no idea if it actually is, or it if it just feels that way because I finally have some Haskell coding time under my belt. Re…

This has absolutely been my experience as well. The one thing to be careful about is losing sight of the content while making it entertaining. I've swung a little too far a few tim…

I’m all for culture of writing, but that feels too easy. Like another pointed out, what about a culture of reading? And further, what are these cultures of writing doing to help in…

I’ve always felt that quality of writing is one of the best signs of a good candidate for hire, well before tech skills, and is something I factor heavily while hiring. But now tha…

I could rant for a while, but a few things off the top of my head: over-architected, overly complex, sometimes bad tooling (karma, protractor), tons of old issues (though they’ve b…

I think I’ve reached the point where I simply don’t mention most nits. I’m most business software it just doesn’t seem worth it. If the code works, isn’t utterly obtuse, and abides…

I agree with the spirit of this, but the async nature of code review seems to prevent it. Social and power dynamics in async code review can make things very difficult.

Funny to see these new incarnations of the old ASP.NET UpdatePanel. I despised WebForms back in the day, but always had a soft spot for the UpdatePanel, seemed like a great idea. E…

I’ve been considering switching from karma to jest for our angular project, this certainly brings a new angle to that decision. Frustrating. I guess I get crappy karma “supported” …

I’ve noticed that often this is an area where WIP is not limited, and the efforts are least likely to be well managed and documented (unsurprisingly, it can take a lot of work to k…

I like these recommendations, especially around decorators, maybe I’ll start following them reviews Angular app oh

IndexedDB on Safari has had issues it feels like since day one. IIRC there was a full rewrite somewhere along the way too, and still problems seemingly every Safari release. My fav…

I definitely agree with this in general, but there are exceptions where it’s still a quagmire. Angular, for example.

Not a fan of ORMs at all, especially ActiveRecord style. They just bring a costly new layer of complexity and not enough value to justify it. I do very much like the object hydrati…

It obviously doesn't matter that much if you can or can't. We all google all day long. But through my career at various times I've been able to say yes, usually after spending mult…

My experience with junior (and sometimes not junior) developers has been that the lack of understanding leads to confusion about what they're trying to test. I think the ambiguity …
