To avoid writing stupid code since they will see qualified people put reason on why some codes are "garbage" (I'm not saying this).

> Fast forward to today. I’ve been doing a dive on JavaScript/TypeScript and different runtimes like NodeJS and Deno,

That's why. If all codes in a project are stupid, there's no stupid code indeed relatively.

Go read Linux kernel mailing list.

i found assembly is easier to assemble from scratch (it's apple and orange but.). Most materials should exclude these tooling, mostly rust based tools. We should be able to write them by hands just like when assembly was taught. Compiler and assembly are separate classes. I think it's bad assumption that only compiler devs only care about wasm. It's compiling target, sure, but framing it this way will not broaden its knowledge.

These topic and mentioned tools always fail to demonstrate how sync engine works in multiple players modes. And mostly only for backend written in TS/JS, worse it's only for using with 3rd service (which you couldn't put your business logic in here). The first thing i scan in these tools' docs are how they handle write conflict whose conflict is semantic level, not data exchange format level.

Tried to adopt this last month at work, it failed. E.g. the mentioned Automerge, it has poor docs https://automerge.org/docs/reference/library_initialization/... and that left out a lot of question, it seems backend agnostic but have to figure out how to store, how to broadcast ourselves.

many such as cases, it's clear why. People hate doing task x, because it's not fun nor valuable to them, but need to do because of duty.

Ironically all nuts friends seem to be talking less, less defensive than other nuts friends who keep talking about other people not buying what they believe nuts.

Thanks Dan. Yes, I agreed on the ui part, it seems to work in most cases. Some html tags have relation like `<datalist>` or `[popover]` attribute, but if we make all kind of relations trivial then it's benefit for sure.

It's useless as data is not just some graphic semantic, they have relation, business rules on top, not ready to interact with if not all are ready, loaded.

Looks neat, the first thing I search for in the docs is:

    Unique indexes  Not currently supported. Requires query rewriting and separate execution engine to validate uniqueness across all shards.
But still looks promising.

Honestly, it doesn't need to be local, API is some 200ms away is ok-ish, make it 50ms it will be practically usable for every majority of interaction.

Indie startup (or just simply call it "selling app online") is not bad if your "capital is lower than $1M" AND "desirable MRR at $10k". You can beat $1M capital, 10% return .. by making $10k MRR SaaS instead.

Yep, 2024 market is considerably too good though. When he about to quit, I'd expect 8% yield (pessimistic) per year, so $6.4k/yr or $533/mo, that's "good" living quality in non major cities in Thailand. But to be fair, it's only good for locals, not for foreigners. And that $80k also needs to be invested 1 year before quitting.

It's doable for extending up to 3x of his runway.

tbh, the 2m app is more clunky than the OG 1m. Virtual scroll is very poor. Jump doesn't seem to work (it works just sometimes).
