I just append « talk », it works pretty well.

AI;DR

You can inspect a Lit component directly in Chrome, it’s just a custom element. No need for a browser dev extension. You can use this custom element from React or any other JS framework. You can also use this custom element in a server-rendered template, no need for any custom SSR setup. Feel close to the platform yet?

Web components are intentionally low-level, they’re not really meant to be used directly. You should see them more as performant, interoperable building blocks. Have you tried lit?

> Reading the code does not mean you understand the code.

Reading the code may not be enough to understand the behaviour of your program, but believing you can understand the behaviour of a program without at least reading the high level code is truly silly.

(by high level, I mean the code living in the higher layers - of course we don't often read the code of the generated assembly, or the interpreter, or the browser, but that's because they're reliable abstractions, unlike prompts!)

Rails is the most cult-like, anti-learning, anti-choice and even anti-engineering technology I have ever used. It does NOT want you to make your own choices, it does NOT want you to decouple from the framework, it does NOT want you to grow. It’s frightening.

I mean, in an app that uses Rails by-the-book, you won’t even find a class instantiation. No call to new. You won’t find a class that does not inherit from a framework bass class either. The framework handles everything, don’t worry.

The one thing that gets with those PRs is that they want you to read stuff they haven’t even read themselves! Yeah, no.

Two years ago? I don’t get it, coding agents have been compelling for barely a year.

I trailed off a few lines into the README. No human ever edited any of this. « LLM detected, project rejected ».

If only!

Did not know belt and braces was a saying in English! I learned something today.

> Good models these days spit out architecture and code fairly indistinguishable from your average developer.

Emphatically, no. It’s way too complex, every time. Ceinture et bretelles, as we say in French.

My favorite thing is leaving the skin and slicing them. Each slice has the perfect amount of skin and pulp, it’s crunchy, it’s heaven!

Did the author really put significant effort here? The LLM speak suggests the opposite.

This is obviously written by an LLM. Should we flag such content?
