    In reality, building anything complex is a huge pain using web components, particularly because it is hard to author them with appropriate level of styling API and accessibility su…

    I don't have allergy to AI "accelerated" development. I have allergy for platforms opting me by default into something that they clearly know I won't opt-in if asked.

    BenQ is great. Been using a DesignVue for years. It is boring and just works. Doesn’t require any specialized drivers either.

    BTW, if you use Nushell, you can opt into sqlite backed shell history and press Cmd+R (or Ctrl+R) for search, all without any specific dependency.

    As a very heavy user of IntelliJ and associated family of IDEs, I’d say they are extremely bloated compared to a few years ago. My latest annoyance with IDEA has been extremely slo…

    It depends on the app you’re using to save passkeys. Use Keepass and it saves the passkeys into kdbx file (similar to SSH keys).

    You can store your passkeys in Bitwarden or Keepass vault. Then you can use them through Bitwarden or Keepass apps on any other device. Been using passkeys like this for several ye…

    My problem is not with the marketing; they do their own thing all the time. It’s the people who drink the cool-aid and force “the tool” on others who are a problem.

    To me, “AI is just a tool” argument sounds so fake and hypocritical because that is not how the proponents of AI talk about it. Instead, it is marketed as “the tool” and in some ca…

    The switch to strict HTML compilation is just not cool, and actively prevents upgrading sites which need to deal with remote content that is not written in strict HTML. I also wish…

    IntelliJ has free open-source distribution so you don’t need to pay anything for using it. To each their own, I guess.

    Out of all the things listed, dependency tree and compile times are the most problematic things I face in Rust projects. As stated at the very end of the article, if you need tight…
