I like the web chat UI for quick one off questions where I don’t want it to have the context of a local project I’m working in.

Tangential but does anyone an have opinion on Base UI vs React Aria?

Trying to decide between the two atm.

It’s not math but I’m using AI to help study and learn DSA. I’m finding it helpful.

But yeah you need to make attempts to apply what you’re learning and answer questions on your own. You can’t simply watch problems being solved (whether by an AI or a person) and retain it.

Honestly I get awful results using this skill. The output is way better when I simply ask it to review the changes on my branch compared to origin/main

Yes

I catch so much shit when I read the code. I’ll take this into consideration when I’m no longer catching poorly made slop all the time.

We are doing this on my team (I am the frontend engineer) and honestly I really miss the old way of doing things.

Written specifications are being reduced in favor of these working prototypes, and now there’s this extra cognitive burden of reading the code and trying to determine what were the intended changes, and what’s the slop that needs to be tossed aside.

We also have to figure out, should we take over this generated PR and make any needed changes? Or do we start over from scratch? There’s often a sense of friction either way.

There have been times where a bunch of unintended changes were generated and I took time to port them over on my reimplementation, and then later on it’s “oops! Sorry! We didn’t mean to change that.”

I get it’s empowering but it does take away from some of the joy I used to find in my work and replaced it with some headaches.

It’s really common that you can arrive on a view from different places.

For example on instagram you might click through to a post from the explore page or from someone sending it to you via DM. In either case pressing the back button rendered in the app, or swiping back, will take you back to where you came from. It feels natural and seamless. Although I guess there are other ways to skin that cat than history.back()

But I agree with you when there’s a clear hierarchy. Like on a job ad a “back” button should just be a normal link to the index of job openings.

They are actually speaking to trying to make an in-app back button use the history stack so that it _doesn’t_ “break” your browser’s back button.

The problem with just calling history.back() with no fallback is it will bounce users out of your app (back to Google or wherever they came from) and PMs won’t like that…

As someone who went through that same journey, agreed.

Compared to previous paradigms, React lets you compose complexity and rich interactivity really, really well. Even for all its flaws.

In case anyone else is going crazy trying to find this setting, it’s called slide to type

I think they have rotating specials. These are pre-made, cheaper, and smaller. When you have a membership this is the one you get for free (once a month).

They used to have a “Dr. Paul's Raw Animal-Based Smoothie” that I looooved, but unfortunately they stopped making it. Still sad about that one :(
