I’ve used thinkpads (and the X1 in particular) for many years. And I do think they’re the best option you have outside of the apple ecosystem. But they are far, far, far of being a…

What an awesome metaphor, 100% agree with this. That's why I've always said that the SPA architecture with a separate backend is a way to increase the amount of work so that it can…

I think my job is to ship useful, secure and robust features to my company's customers. Dealing with technology is a consequence of that, not the end goal itself, which seems to be…

It's mind boggling some people don't know you can render plain html on the server, or even submit forms without javascript. Such a basic building block seems to be fading away nowa…

Say you're travelling back from 2099 and your comment still applies :-)

In my opinion (and experience, this architecture is great as a way to scale teams, having a clear interface between them. As soon as you have to work on both sides of the API, it i…

Not my experience. Most Laravel projects I've seen are in a much much better shape than even the most minimal "microservices" I've seen around. You get so much done for you with La…

Already mentioned in other replies, but as a long time node/react developer, for the last year or so I've been working on a project built with Laravel (blade components) + Unpoly (…

Next.js is easy peasy and lovely and wonderful until you need to mix in validations + translations + authentication + authorisation + calling upstream APIs with user's credentials …

I use Unpoly (equivalent to HTMX for your question) + Alpine and they complement each other very well. Unpoly handles everything that requires what in SPA world would be an "API ca…

A lot. https://blog.jannikwempe.com/debunking-tailwind-counterargum... https://www.swyx.io/why-tailwind And many similar ones.

Don't forget Unpoly! A bit more opinionated and "batteries included" than HTMX, still same ideology. I use it every day and I love it.

> I make a difference between website and webapp. Everyone says this, which doesn't solve anything. 99,9% of what we build is just something in between. It is not as easy as you ma…

> Isomorphic codebase, you can share the majority of your code with the client/server since it's Node on the backend and ES2015 on the frontend I've been working for 20 years on th…

But it is trendy and fashion, so we still do it /s

The moment you need SSR, you'd be in a better place if you were using just plain old server rendered (componetized) views, such as the ones you can do with laravel's Blade system, …

Err... We're literally this close to wipe out ourselves. I'd still take the discovering of an advanced civilization any day.

Or they just got bored and wanted to try some shinier toy. I've seen this happen dozens of time, all the bullshit for justifying it is just that, bullshit. Not saying this is the c…

Unless it is an offline-first web app, or something like Figma, I'd go for the TALL stack [1] and deploy to Heroku or App Engine (or Dokku [2] if it is just a side project). Specia…

Wile E. Coyote will be so happy with this.

My cat is the smarter cat ever. It managed to train me very well.

This is so common, sadly. I've seen this happen a lot. And those geniuses advocating for these insane infrastructure usually leave the company after they scratched their itch with …

You are confusing parallelism with concurrency. It definitely can be a problem.

I love the simplicity and how clean it looks. There should be more websites like this. Congrats.
