It's great to see Google promoting YAGNI. It's the hill I'm going to die on: testing.googleblog.com/2024/…

My version (as an alias):
tmp() { zsh -c 'cd "$(mktemp -d)" && npm init --yes >/dev/null && zsh' }

New little script that pops me into a temporary directory for a while until I Ctrl-d.
I'm always going to ~/tmp && mkdir blahblahwahtever to test something out. `tmpsh` saves a few seconds. :)

It was only a matter of time. Now you can create declarative cloud infrastructure using natural-language: pulumi.com/ai

ACID transactions are best practice & every distributed product should support them. There are probably weird corner cases where the data isn't essential & you can try to get by without them. But in this case you should just assume that some of your data is corrupted. 9/x

For scrapers, Google Cloud Scheduler Google Cloud Run is magical. So robust. Publish the data to a PubSub and you can connect more consumers on demand. All cloud infra neatly written and documented as Pulumi scripts of course.

- If we want to preserve the zero-install experience of the web *and* enable rich web pages, we need *some* way to share objects across sites. We can't and shouldn't rely on browsers to implement the majority of APIs. There has to be some way for developers to do this.

With Hasura, it's easy to start with entity-centric GraphQL and add "custom" business logic mutations as required. Or you can use REST just for the latter too, nothing wrong with that.
Another question came my way, this time about entity-centric REST.
In short, don't do it.
Clients will have to do crappy round trips for joins. GraphQL helps with that.
But when it comes to multi-entity updates/inserts? You don't have transactions. That's going to be trouble.

Prop drilling?
Sometimes all you need is a little restructuring.
