the difference between the boosters and skeptics seems to be the difference between necessary and sufficient conditions

There’s a big difference between the promise of GenAI and the reality. The promise is the democratization of expertise. Anyone can be a coder, analyst or lawyer with AI. The reality is actually the erosion of expertise. Being an expert is no longer valued yet experts are needed to vet AI lies.

We have the right to record ICE agents, police, and other government officials at work in public. Read up on your rights and our tips to get ready for Saturday's No Kings protests. More info at aclu.org/kyr_record-

this is so cool haptics.lochie.me

Some people can't afford the cost of a Real ID, or a copy of their birth certificate, which is why it's important for those of us who can help to help. Even helping just one person goes a long way. This is about preparation for any foolishness while we continue to fight for our right to vote.

PSA: The No Kings PAC is not affiliated with and had no role in putting on the 10/18 mobilization. If you get a spammy text from them claiming your donation will be 5x matched, know that it's not from anyone involved in the No Kings protest (and please direct your angry emails to them, not us)

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

“The moment you have nine useStates in a component, you've already shot yourself in the foot.” PREACH

I want a normalized API pattern where introduction of a side-effect returns you a function to undo it. const controller = emitter.on('foo', cb) controller.abort() For everything, please. No more "and now let's call .removeListener() and provide the same fn by reference" 🤮

Kinda feels like e2e with playwright is better than literally any other test setup. Starting to second guess the value of Storybook in these crazy times.

💯 it isn’t clear from the docs how to roll your own RSC implementation which is pretty important for developing a strong intuitive understanding of the technology

I’m convinced that with AGI we will reshape reality in the style of a Studio Ghibli film

As web devs we work on top of a huge pyramid of *extremely* good abstractions, from the metal on up. The problem with web dev currently is all the abstractions on top of HTML/CSS/JS/HTTP, by comparison, are quite leaky.

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

Headless UI libraries make a lot of sense, I just wish they were authored as web components so I could use them in any framework

the tech market is so weird for entry level devs. it seems like no one wants to hire non-experienced devs, but you gotta get a job to get said experience, but the advent of AI makes companies not want to spend on entry level tasks, then eventually there will be no one to promote to seniors

Can’t argue with facts 🤣

🎁 #React 19 is the gift that keeps on giving. We can finally drop useState in forms! With useActionState, you can streamline complex form logic into a single hook—no more scattered state updates. It can handle actions on the client OR server 🧑‍🍳💋 Have you tried useActionState? What do you think?

Stop overusing useEffect for DOM tweaks! In React 19, the ref callback cleanup lets you handle DOM side effects directly. But don’t take it from me… @tkdodo.eu wrote a great post about it: tkdodo.eu/blog/ref-cal...

Setting state in useEffect? 🚨 That triggers a render loop: state changes→ render→ useEffect→ setState→ more renders. Instead, compute derived state directly—no loops, just clean, efficient code! #react

I think this is why @shadcn.com has become so popular. It puts you in control of the component contract without sacrificing the convenience of a complete implementation

React v19 is now stable! react.dev/blog/2024/12...

don’t useEffect, but if you must, don’t call setState in it
