Frontend world seems to be converging. General trend seems to be moving towards the center of the chart. And this aligns with the framework directions as well. Many are adopting similar reactive primitives and similar control flow approaches. So people seem to care less about the specific choices.

Recently, we had so many discussions about react hooks, signals and more. How fitting that gitnation now published my lighting talk where I discuss why React should NOT adopt signals. gitnation.com/contents/why...

What really surprised me was that there are some starting positions,that need EIGHT clicks to get to the end position... Sadly, this kind of killed the game for me, because it feels like it's really unlikely that I will memorize these harder states, so I will always have to fall back to guessing...

It became apparent quickly, that there are "easy" starting positions and "hard" ones. For the harder ones, I always ended up randomly clicking around until I found a familiar place, where I knew how to finish. And then I wondered what the optimal way was to solve each starting position

In this minigame, you have a 3by3 grid of cells. Each cell can be on, or off. By clicking on a cell, you toggle the cell and the direct neighbours (NOT DIAGONALLY). Your task is turn the whole grid "on" as quickly as possible on as many random start positions as possible.

Does the spec guarantee that a transform stream will never start processing a chunk if the previous chunk is not done yet with the transformation or can some sort of parallelism happen? @nodeland.dev

I‘m really unsure if I like the linkedSignal idea. It feels so much like useEffect to synchronize two states which is kind of a code smell (cc @tkdodo.eu) but they make an interesting case…

Driving to another city tomorrow for 2 conference talks and my social battery is already empty BEFORE going… Not a good start to benefit through networking :/

Doesn’t this mean, that this place is also destined to end up in the same spot? Currently it feels new, fresh, everyone is looking for old and new friends so it feels direct and open and friendly. But in 5 years? Who knows. Let’s enjoy it while it lasts…

Turns out, it wasn’t Twitter/X we loved, it was each other. I can’t wait to see that platform collapse.

@bsky.app is a react native app on iOS, right? Scrolling feels soo much smoother here than the x app. A good example to pull out when someone says react native doesn’t feel „native“

Been thinking a lot about streaming data. From db to backend to the client, all with simple primitives like async iterators.

You are up to date.
