I thought this was common knowledge, but with so much new React code being vibe coded I think there is room to reiterate some fundamentals. Therefore, I wrote this small blog post a few days ago: www.benbachem.de/blog/classna...
I started a new job this week and so far the experience has been great! The experience of diving into a _huge_ unknown React codebase, that does a lot of things differently from how I am used to, is a bit of a challenge though.
Thanks, I‘ll pass it on to the team. 🙏🏻
After 5 1/2 years and ~5,000 commits, today is my last day at @ superchat.com.
I joined when we had 0 customers and an empty office. We grew to 9,000+ and became the DACH market leader. Incredibly proud of what we built. Excited for what's next — more on that soon. 🎢
Thanks!

I have a bit of an unrelated question. I've been trying Tuna a bit lately and was wondering if there is an equivalent to the Raycast "Search Menu Items". I use that quite often to run things like "New Window" when the action in question does not use the regular CMD+N shortcut.
Thanks!
What icon theme are you using?
Congratulations! They should be happy to have you!
Oh wow, this looks *methodical*. Very cool!
What model did you use to generate these images?
Where it‘s at
Does match the unix philosophy of „Make each program do one thing well.“ better though, right?
The animations are so clean 👀
I'm a big fan of oxlint and biome. We're in the process of migrating to biome for formatting. The codebase has a lot of custom ESLint rules though so switching to another tool entirely would be even more work 🥲
Since ESLint 10 is out, I decided to finally reserve some time to migrate from ESLint 8 to 9 @work. This definitely is a whole lot of work...
Just finished the audiobook. Really enjoyed it, especially the earlier chapters.
Giving a AI coding agent a robot voice just makes it feel so much more futuristic 😂
Custom notification sounds for claude code / opencode are fun! I just quickly configured opencode to use some voice lines from the StarCraft Adjutant grabbed from here: youtu.be/YD2aq2MbboE
I was not aware of pub-search.woaw.tech but it looks amazing!
Insane numbers. Congratulations! 🚀
To be fair, I don't think many React developers would argue that CLI applications are a good fit for React.
Could you name some counterexamples of apps that don‘t use React and feel great to use? Ideally web apps so it’s not an apples to oranges comparison.
I think it’s too early and too niche of a topic too ask for something that is „stable and mature“.
- livestore.dev is still in beta
- zero.rocicorp.dev is still in alpha
- jazz.tools is also still at a 0.x release
Give it time, I‘m confident local first will win in the long run.
This looks really interesting! Do you have a longer demo video showcasing the app somewhere?
Agree! I do the same. It messes with my head a bit every time I need to type on someone else’s machine, thats why I posted.
"Exhalation: Stories" and "Stories of Your Life and Others" by Ted Chiang are equally good, if not slightly better.
