Is web development going Back to the Future? Here's my take on latest #NextJS/#React Server Components (#RSC) developments. Are we finally closing the loop from progressive enhancement to SPAs and back? linkedin.com/pulse/modern-we… What's your take?

“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry. Many times over the years I have thought about a great programmer I knew that loved assembly language to the point of not wanting to move to C. I have to fight some similar feelings of my own around using existing massive codebases and inefficient languages, but I push through. I had somewhat resigned myself to the fact that I might be missing out on the “final abstraction”, where you realize that managing people is more powerful than any personal tool. I just don’t like it, and I can live with the limitations that puts on me. I suspect that I will enjoy managing AIs more, even if they wind up being better programmers than I am.

PSA: Whenever you think of writing useEffect, the only sane thing is to NOT do it. Instead, go to the react docs and re-read the page about why you don't need an effect. You really don't. But what if I ne.. - NO. read the page! In my specia.. - NO. read the page! READ THE PAGE

Thank you so much for bringing this up, explaining, raising fair questions, sharing your perspective! The letter is very well phrased and I hope it will have an impact.

But they're entirely fucking arbitrary, and out here in the real world of thoughtful and dedicated practitioners, we all know that what matters is trade-offs, priorities, and delivering a positive return on investment in pursuit of whatever unique goal we have.

Interesting take and quite spot on for inexperienced or ignorant developers. If you're having a solid engineering approach, best practices can streamline your work. Doesn't work the other way round. Reminds me of an agile mindset and Scrum as a set of rules.

I started doing paid mentorship and it's a lot of fun! Feels good to use my 10 years in software engineering (#frontend #react #fullstack) and leadership to help others to start or improve their career. 💫 If you're interested, get in touch! 🤝 mentorcruise.com/mentor/mart…

Agree. Rendering HTML and other UI -specific concerns are frontend, both on server and client, including backend for frontend services. Never heard otherwise but maybe because of client-only SPAs people get confused.

Been there and yes, learning this can spare you much anger and frustration and help you staying productive. Still practicing...

This. 💯

Adding GitHub comments to individual lines in your own PR is pro level. And no, I don’t think they should be comments in the code. The point of PR comments is to talk about the *change*, not the code itself. This only makes sense with both old and new code visible side-by-side.

Zukunftsangst trifft es sehr gut. Angst davor dass sowas nochmal passiert, öfter passiert, normal wird. Mir geht's in solchen Situationen genauso, friere auch erstmal ein. Vielleicht hätte ich den Impuls gehabt die alle an der nächsten Ecke rauszuschmeißen, hoffentlich.

In Wahrheit agiert die FDP ja immer nach demselben Muster: sie macht aus einer Mücke einen Elefanten. Sie bläst ein Detail zu einer vermeintlich zentralen Frage auf. Wochenlang hat sie für die Verlängerung der Atomkraftwerke gekämpft, als ginge es um die Zukunft Deutschlands —

Aber da kann sich die Bildungselite mal auf Gossenniveau amüsieren als wären sie Bild Leser. Das geläuterte Schwer Drogensüchtige Genie ist halt einfach relatable. Und er hat einen coolen Namen.

Yesterday, I got my hands on a copy of "Diary of an African Hub Manager" and I have to say, I'm already on chapter 6 and I can't put it down! This book is such an inspiring and informative read, detailing @Afruturist experiences as a hub manager in Africa and the challenges
