I asked Claude whether these elaborate words like "walk down the design tree" actually mean anything to the LLM and make a difference. The answer confirmed my gut feeling: You can …

Awesome! Too bad Next.js will never profit from these incredible community efforts, because Vercel suffers from NIH.

I felt the same and I asked Claude about it. The answer made me chuckle: > There’s definitely a tendency to dress up fairly straightforward concepts in academic-sounding language. …

That Oasis tune in the 2nd trailer already ruined everything for me.

This very recent PR updates the docs to basically remove all common (and previously recommended) middleware use-cases, rendering them almost completely useless: https://github.com/…

After 25 years of professional development experience my favorite task lists are still and will always be paper and pencil. ;-)

Although it became harder in recent years to find recommendations for newer businesses, Foursquare has always been way more reliable for me than Google Maps reviews (where almost e…

This. I think types really make the difference here. You can get very far with just plain old JS objects as long as you've got strong types in place.

Never, when it felt right. I'm in my mid fourties now, still doing web development and I stayed 13 years at a startup and am now celebrating 10 years at my current employer. In bet…

Fat as in fat models, thin controllers ;-)

What exactly makes Go more suitable for building LDAP clients than any other language, including JS? I've been running ldapjs in production for 4 years now (it's basically a web-ba…

In cases where the client needs to stay separate, we have had a good experience with Orval[1] to generate a fully-typed @tanstack/query client from our OpenAPI spec. [1] https://or…

That's actually something I find a bit awkward, too. Especially, there was no way to re-use the global Hono error handler for all OpenAPI routes. I created an issue[1] with my sugg…

I created a pet project (REST API) with Hono and I'm seriously considering using it for future projects instead of what has been my go-to stack for years (Express, lately with Zodi…

This has been my experience as well. I introduced my son to Scratch when he was 8 and now, 2 years later, he's creating quite advanced games in it I wouldn't have thought possible.…

IMHO, blaming the unexperienced Javascript developers is unfair, because in my experience mostly the senior Java developers were the ones jumping on the hypercomplexity infrastruct…

react-query indeed doesn't automatically take care of this. We manually invalidate its caches (based on the query key, so you only ever invalidate what has changed) after a mutatio…

We're happy users of react-query[1]. Its stale-while-revalidate approach makes Redux and Co. unneccessary for most use-cases. If you have an OpenAPI spec of your REST API you can a…

Did it ever cross your mind that there are more things than money which make a person stay at a company for a longer period? For me personally, if the money is enough for me to mak…

I wrote a Sketch plugin[1] to search and insert SVG logos. [1] https://github.com/soulchild/sketch-logo-fetcher

Hehe, sometimes Hacker News is unbelievable. ;-) So, I take it you‘re from the Cologne area as well, given the Burning Chrome‘s proximity to the city (if memory serves) and long-di…

Funny, a guy called Scythe, operating a board called Burning Chrome was a member of my group (Paranoia). We mainly developed PCBoard PPEs. Good times indeed! ;-)

Admittedly, I only concentrated on the bad stuff in my post. Both communities were focused on everyday problems, one dealt with parenting and the other was about cooking (recipes).…
