“You think the most wealthy and well connected people in the world, people from most prestigious law school on the planet, are somehow in violation of laws you don’t fully understand, and you’re going to get a legal battle with them?”

So let me get this straight, the Trump administration is going into a tax/business/legal battle with Harvard University? Isn’t that literally the best school in the entire world for law and business?

I don’t make the rules. 🤷‍♂️

Just remember, every new lint rule you add is just another reason everyone should hate you.

That’s right, you, the engineer that added 10–20 additional lint rules on top of the defaults, after enabling all the built-in rules.

Everyone hates you. Even your immediate family. You’re the worst.

It's UNFORTUNATE that it's a common term.

"Green" in particular, was a really poor choice. "green" means success or active 99% of the time in software.

Odd/even was right there. lol

"Micro optimization" is an overused term.

If someone's doing some hard-to-read trickery to eek out some performance that probably doesn't matter? Sure. "micro optimization"

If someone wrote readable, more efficient code? That's just better code, not a "micro optimization".

✨Heads up! Observables are shipping natively to a browser near you soon!

Huge thank you and congrats to @domfarolino.com ❤️

I've helped / worked on / watched this through different standards bodies for more than 10 years now. ☠️

(I'm going to have a lot of work now to adapt RxJS to this 😅)

Hey @bsky.app , why can't I click on someone's profile banner and view it enlarged? I want to get a better look at whatever they're showing off of up there.

It would have to be a lot of extensions. In 25 years, I don't think I've worked at any two companies that had the same pairing of issue tracker and source control.

Teams of humans that are hustling are terrible at organizing information across multiple tools.

... not to mention a lot of the discussions about "why" some code is the way it is might happen in person, or in Slack, or elsewhere.

1 year ago 1 0 1 0

They could, but clearly it's vastly more complicated than just adding some jsdocs to methods or a one liner explaining "why" some code is the way it is.

Also it's not one-size fits all. There are a dozen version control systems and probably a hundred bug trackers and team management tools.

"Good code is self commenting" 🙄

Sure. But even perfect code can't always tell you WHY it's doing what it's doing.

Now with AI assistants, they're not going to git blame, and read PRs and issues to know the "whys"

...but they can read inline comments and jsdocs.

AH! That's a "lube station" (lol) I thought it was some sort of crazy keyboard you took the caps off of

Haha. I meant what model of keyboard is that big square keyboard, and what is the use case for such a keyboard?

I mean, I’m happy that you have your own system to lube things, believe me 😂

If you'd ask me in 2015 what will web dev look like one decade from now, my imagination would have gone WILD.

Instead, we just got Next.js

I know this is probably old news for some folks, but I'm always shocked at the number of broken GitHub links I find in the wild.

An image highlighting the SHA in the URL after hitting the "Y" key on GitHub

🚨PSA: When copying GitHub URLs, always hit "Y" first!

Hitting "Y" adds the current SHA to the URL. This ensures your link doesn't break as the repository changes over time.

I'd kill for greenfield work. But the money is in maintaining 5+ year old, neglected spaghetti for very productive spaghetti farmers.

The real reason to work on OSS is just to have a nice place of your own to enjoy coding.

I'm not sure why I never realized this, but it makes sense.

JSX doesn't treat new lines in text the same way that the browser interprets them in HTML text content

It's just interesting, in HTML the outcomes below would be the same.
