i feel like one big required skill for coding on big projects is the ability to turn off the "everything is awful" part of your brain, so you can pile more shit on top of the shit mountain to add features. this is too hard sometimes.

Can you believe we've reached a point in tech where a package named "is-even" has millions of downloads?. hey guys, there is this thing called the modulus operator, and it works JUST FINE

tailwind fluid grid columns🪄. grid grid-cols-[repeat(auto-fill,minmax(theme(width.64),1fr))] p-2 gap-2. change the `width.*` value for larger or smaller columns.

if the app's data fetching looks like this, it's not a real app.
This is how you'd fetch and iterate over data in .React, Vue and Svelte. Which one clicks with you more? 🧐

any time I baked margins into a component, I regretted it later. it's now become a cardinal rule for me to never do that, lol.
Should this PostList component: . 1. define its owns margins. 2. let its container define margin

the fact that JSON.stringify(undefined) returns undefined (the value, not the string) is both hilarious and horrifying. javascript is a language.

tailwind's ability to piss Twitter off is absolutely it's greatest strength marketing-wise. for every 100 people that sneer at it, there are 10,000 more trying it out and being productive af.

HAVING TYPESCRIPT IS NOT THE SAME AS HAVING TYPE SAFETY. if the api accepts `string` and gives me back `Response` without any other type info with it, may as well use JS at that point. sheesh.

- client-side data fetching should be a last resort.- apps should be real-time by default.- setting up separate API endpoints for fetching data will eventually be an archaic artifact of the past.

using TS ✅.writing TS ❌. the less typescript-specific stuff in your code, generally the better time you'll have. made even better by the heroes making libraries like Zod and taking the hit for app devs 🫠.
I know very few people who enjoy writing TypeScript. In fact, most people would likely avoid it if they could rely on type inference for everything.

.@nextjs don't agree with overriding the defaults of fetch() with Next-specific behavior, really hope that changes.

my favorite world is the one where everyone improves my life writing Rust, so I don't have to.
We've been exploring rewriting the code that scans all of your templates for Tailwind classes in Rust for better performance — fun to benchmark. Still no idea what I'm doing so lots of room for improvement I'm sure, but this is extracting classes from 250 template files:

stop using barrel files. just don't. every time I even think they might be useful, they always end up being annoying on top of the tedium it takes to keep them updated. for what, prettier imports? in a world of auto import? ok.
TIL barrel files don't seem tree shake in nextjs ☠️.

if you know me, you know I won't shut up about how much I like <Form> from @remix_run, and how every modern framework had something like it (props to @solid_js SolidStart!). here's a 🧵 where I try my best to explain why it's cool, from my own PoV!.

linking this article again; a friend asks why I use Remix over something like Astro w/ Islands for SPA behavior. Remix bridges the data flow across client and server while keeping fluid SPA UX. it's hard to find something this elegant elsewhere.

@trashh_dev runtime battle is funny, but I've honestly always thought require and ESM in the same file was horrifying. i am a bit of a purist, but i intuitively feel like you'd run into some super weird and awkward edge cases. it's also just confusing.

the biggest problem with this discussion is that "readable" means something different to pretty much everyone. tailwind is:.❌ aesthetically clean.✅ easy to change.✅ easy to move/edit.✅ easy to understand (don't have to look elsewhere for what carousel__wrapper means).

@buildsghost manual client-side data fetching is prone to headaches when your requirements grow: loading states, error states, cancellation, caching, retries, etc. for a large number of apps it's just a subpar approach compared to server-first fetching, or using something like react query.

they still haven't removed forwardRef.
What are your biggest concerns with React and it's ecosystem?.

@cpojer the difference is those libraries have handled all of the edge cases and avoided all the footguns of client-side fetching so you don't have to.

as much as I love all of this love for Remix, never read into twitter trends. most of them are always like-minded people inflating their bubble. both Next and Remix devs off of twitter are building stuff all the same.
Next.js was one the most loved JS frameworks last year and somehow in just the last week, it sorta is the most hated. Did it just reach the typical lifetime of a JS framework? 😅.

I love how Deno came out, guns blazing, modernizing and making us rethink JS projects. I love Bun's commitment to UX, speed, and making stuff Just Work . I love seeing Node improve and modernize itself despite the legacy cruft and ecosystem baggage under it. modern dev is so lit.

here's the thing about buy-in: it disappears with experience. if you're comfortable with TS, it's just purely beneficial. autocomplete all the things, sanity checks everywhere, etc. for TS, the productivity and ramp-up is insane, and buy-in cost goes away super fast.
Thoughts on using Typescript on small personal projects? . Personally, I’m still a fan. I can’t imagine not using typescript ever!.

i would rather use an existing, capable, battle-tested, well-documented tool than build some internal, bespoke solution that _definitely_ won't be documented well, and only its makers know how to use best. libraries are good.

@thekitze > ctrl instead of cmd is crap. i find this one weird, but maybe I'm misunderstanding. I like that Shift, Ctrl and Alt all have their own in-app purposes, where Win is always the global "do something with windows" key. in OS X it feels like a guessing game.

@bterlson @sincerely_tegan might be an unpopular/dangerous opinion, but that's on library users and developers for relying so heavily on monkey patching, something that's been shunned as bad practice for a while now.

twitter is literally unable to disagree without throwing shit. istg tailwind just makes shit fun, man. ain't more complicated than that. jesus. if it ain't for you it ain't for you, stop trying to shove this dumb objective sense of righteousness into it.
The "workflow of styling directly in your markup" was rightly rejected by the creators of web specs and a thoughtful dev community decades ago. This entire project is setting the web back, all because of one man's ego and a corporation built around it.

someone says "your thing is broken" vs. "the thing is broken", I feel like I'm overly sensitive to "your" in this case, like its assigning blame more than pointing out an issue, even when they don't mean it that way. what is this called, accusatory language? am i alone?.

one annoying thing about the `routes` folder in SSR frameworks (or `pages` etc.) is having components for that page in separate files completely separated from that page in a whole other folder, even with feature-based file structure. what features/libs exist to help with this?.
