I get the mentality but it feels very much like security through obscurity. When did we decide that that was the correct model?
Comment · 9 months ago
The mental model I had of this was actually on the paragraph or page level, rather than words like the post demos. I think it'd be really interesting if you're reading a take on a concept in one book and you can immediately fan-out and either read different ways of presenting the same information/argument, or counters to it.

Listen I'm not a crazy huge fan of a lot of new tech, but this is pretty transformational. When reading the first article [1] I was struck by the fact that it granted so much new freedom to your "social identity" on the internet. The comparison to hosting providers was incredible, because imagine you building a website and posting your thoughts there or starting a business there...and then immediately being shut down and all your data lost because of some arbitrary change of policy at your "host".
Everyone always talks about how your Google account being tied to logins is scary because you can get arbitrarily locked out. This protocol makes something like functionally impossible since /you/ control your data.

Huh? He talked about and linked to a series of his older articles, including this one from 2013. [1] It's been a while.

This is a gross simplification on both accounts.
US Army veterans do have a higher rate of arthritis but their days are quite different from the "run 3-5 days a week" that most people think of when talking about recreational runners.
And the pacemaker comment stood out so I did a bit of digging and found a study [1] you might be referring to. Again, the effects were strong only in the heavy-duty-exercisers/pro/semi-pro cross-country skiier group. Additionally, this didn't offset the gains to cardiovascular or mortality risk - that group was still "healthier."

The dosage of this study was "2 × 70 ml ∙d−1, each containing ∼595 mg NO3−". That's probably gonna be tough to get daily by eating beets...

You’re right - if you only used it for ‘font-heading-2’, you wouldn’t need it.
But like the person you’re responding to said, the ergonomics improve for the majority of cases that are just ‘flex items-center gap-2’.
And yes, you could write it all yourself but Tailwind is a good set of defaults for those classes and minimizes bike-shedding and improves consistency. These are useful things in lots of teams.
I don’t really use Tailwind on smaller personal projects because I love CSS, but in an org of mixed skill levels, it’s pretty damn useful.
(Also, Tailwind uses CSS variables. It had solid support for them in the last major and first class support for it in the current one.)

Join | Sr/Staff Golang/DB Developer | Remote (USA, Canada) | full-time | $175k – $205k/yr + equity
Hey, I'm an engineering manager at Join. We build collaboration tools for huge construction projects: think stadiums, hospitals, research facilities, etc. Our customers (GCs) love us and their customers (owners) love us so we're getting cool network effects out of that.
I'm looking for a senior/staff Golang/DB developer who has a bunch of tools in their belt, knows their tradeoffs, and /wants/ to share their knowledge with midlevels and help them avoid some of the scars you've accumulated over the years. :)
The full job description (along with my email) is at https://join.build/company/careers-sse/
If you're curious about anything, either reply or email me.

This was one of the biggest "oh shit" moments I had when learning Remix: I could reuse the same validators across front and backend and they could even be right there in the same file.

> Actually it would sort of be nice if these frameworks could be coded such that if I have JavaScript shut off, it just runs the code elsewhere and sends me the site.
Remix does!
Actually, most (all?) of the major frameworks will do SSR on pageload and only use client-side rendering for re-renders. But yeah, Remix will do exactly what you're asking for and force you to do full-page refreshes without JS. If that's what you really want.

Reading the code is a joy. I love seeing different approaches to what we all take as givens, such as design.css rather than style.css, or the usage of an `else if (1 == 1)` compared to `else` or even `else if (true)`.
(So I guess, thanks for not teaching her about bundlers and minifiers yet :))

Looks like the developer is aware there may be limitations.

Hopefully a new version will be released free of charge for current customers.
I understand why this is a tempting thing to do in a "STOP THE PRESSES" manner where you take a breather and fix any existing issues that snuck through. I don't yet understand why when you reach steady-state, you wouldn't rely on the same tooling in a proactive manner to prevent issues from being shipped.
And if you say "yeah, that's obv the plan," well then I don't understand what going closed-source _now_ actually accomplishes with the horses already out of the barn.
