Definitely worth keeping up with as a framework user too.

Smaller bundles, often easier to use, less bug potential. Code's a liability and being able to occasionally rip a bunch out as a feature becomes baseline is always a joy.

Might be grass is greener mentality, but I think I prefer this to whatever C# is doing.

The sealed keyword makes sense, isn't unique to this feature and you can pattern match exhaustively. I feel like I could explain this to a beginner without overloading them, it's still 'just Java' while giving you a way to occasionally model a one-of relations with out the awkward default handling while sticking to the predominately OOP driven nature of the language.

The stuff you can do with a functional language is amazing but I don't think bolting on new paradigm's until you have a diabetic Frankenstein of a language is the right answer, Scalar is right over there if that's your preferred style.

You had me till Tim Tams.

Those things have been enshittified to being brown dyed sweet biscuit your decrying and I hate that we (Australians) still talk them up.

There's other rough edges too (generics for example), but the absolute chasm between svelte and JSX tooling quality and it was a major reason for me dropping it.

You can fire up a solid project and get close to react's speed and quality even with earlier preview versions. Comparison aside, the reliability and speed of svelte tooling has felt extremely lacking on larger projects to the point i resent working on my 3 year old sveltekit codebase.

This is fun and hits too close to home, I can appreciate that Claude won't ever screw up this badly for something this simple but it's a simplification that captures the essence of the rage loop perfectly.

It's making me realise something new about why I find Claude so exhausting. Of course you're getting terrible results with these prompts but I found myself getting just as enraged contemplating what my reply would be. Estimating every single way this little asshole will hyper-focus on a pointless bit of semantics, ignore explicit directions, go do something unrelated and spin its wheels until you’re out of credits or wasted a ton of time.

The defensive writing is honestly just as exhausting as reading Claude’s output. Every session is a game of Russian roulette with a chance you'll end up in one of these loops. At that stage all the joy you had of having it pump along with your intentionally crafted prompts and agent configuration is undone in an afternoon.

Incentives to not have said small sinks perfectly curved to splash straight into your pants would be appreciated too.

"but it might be the first step towards making the entire Reddit website login only."

They're A/B testing that already. Mobiles more well known but the desktop version was unusable without logging in for the last couple weeks.

The 'core gamer' bubble has always been bad for this.

Sports games sell like hotcakes and have people buy them every year religiously but you never hear about them, sims too. Their other titles were heavy hitters.

Their just a seperate audience; EA certainly has influence, just not with people that talk about games.

Hey look if putting a sticker of Elsa on it or saying it’s for the AI gets the kids excited to eat their vegetables just quietly take the win.

HDMI and display port are in a similar boat. Putting the spec on the connector would be so much help.

Even purchasing them is a nightmare these days because everything says ultra super duper fast supreme and then the fine print says it's actually just 3.0 (or doesn't say at all sometimes on online storefronts). Multiple time's I've found myself in the store flipping around the box like a rubics cube trying to find the little fine print that tells me if the cable is more expensive because it's gold plated snake oil or actually matches the higher spec I need.

I think it's a correction, There's multiple levels of interpretation:

1. Don't roll your own crypto

2. Don't roll your own auth strategy

3. Don't Roll your own auth code

4. Don't host your own auth infrastructure.

For the last few years level 4 has been aggressively pushed with a lot of advertising spend to push people towards prohibitively expensive hosted providers. Donning a tinfoil hat for a moment, auth as a service companies have made everything seem substantially more difficult than it is too for simple needs.

Now we're seeing a correction back to 2 and 3 as people way up the risks of SaaS vs just using a easier to manage local library and discovering it's not as scary as it's been made out to be if you follow now fairly well established patterns.

the providers aren't going anywhere, people still need them for a variety of reasons but their time as the default is ending and whether this is good is to be determined.

Only if the software is optimised for either in the first place.

Ton of software out there where optimisation of both memory and cpu has been pushed to the side because development hours is more costly than a bit of extra resource usage.

They’re usually picked up by scanners by then.

Pivoting to node support and even more-so rewriting deploy really hurt momentum on top of all those projects. Coming out swinging with 2.0 and then decreasing regions and rewriting the product that makes you money soon after was certainly a choice.

While they’ve been doing that void 0 made a significantly better linter & formatter that can replace eslint, a perfect embrace and extend. Nodes improved and a lot of annoyances have been ironed out (at a user level at least), each passing day the benefits of deno reducing.

Fresh is close to abandonware despite being a framework that could be the middle ground between htmx and js framework insanity with even 1 man-day a fortnight dedicated to it.

JSR seems like it’s going nowhere and only exists to install @std.

This was the final straw for me, if they bounce back in a few years hell yeah I’m in but I’m begrudgingly back to node for now.
