Going through the same migration from nuxt 2 to nuxt 3. Can you share more details? Did you also move from vuex to pinia ? If so, how did you manage the API change (dispatch, commit) scattered through the codebase. I'd love to learn more

I'm also exploring xstate for a similar use case and would love to know more about your experience with it. I'm particularly interested in understanding the level of customizability you allowed in your implementation.

My use case involves implementing various user flows in my app and I'm currently weighing the benefits of using xstate versus react-router.

Also, I'm curious about how you integrated graphql into this project. Could you share some details on that?

Lastly, I wanted to ask if you stored all the different configurations on a database or on git? If you used a database, how did you manage different schema versions?

As a developer, I legit feel crippling anxiety and might need professional help.

People saying it's not intelligent, really don't get it. It looks like it's working exactly like the human brain. We, humans, also pretend to know what we're talking about and often talk with authority without really understanding what's going on. When you apply for a react.js position you pretend to be a js God when in fact you know shit, just enough to be able to stitch things together to make them work.

The rate at which technology, languages and frameworks change also doesn't give you the ability to master your craft. In fact, mastering a specific tool/framework is risky for your career because of new tools emerging every 3-5 years. Every company uses a variation of react,vue,python,go,java,ruby whatever, it's impossible for the human brain to keep up and be good at everything. We can only scratch the surface of the complicated mess of a tech stack and that's exactly what gpt3 is extremely good at right now. So yeah, I fear a lot...

I can't imagine how good this is gonna be in 5-10 years. I legit feel scared and anxious. How can we prepare for this future?

I'm in a similar situation. I have 1,5 year of experience working in a web dev full-stack job, but the FOMO is so strong with all the advancements in AI. I fear my skills won't be future-proof and eventually AI is going to take my job. These thoughts are taking a toll on my mental health and as a result, I can't focus on improving my skills because of the constant fear of me losing the hype train / making the wrong career decision.

Is this fear justified? How should I proceed? Is software development dead? So many questions and uncertainties...

I don't know Ruby on Rails but i would love to learn it at some point. At my job we're creating some internal tools that are 95% CRUD and we're using JavaScript for everything. Vue.js/Nuxt.js/Vuex with express.js(on docker) and a shitty "headless" CMS (strapi) with MongoDB for backend. It sucks. We're writing hundreds of LOC every day just to create some simple forms. Our tech stack is so fragmented that makes it difficult to make changes and cooperate in our team. A simple thing like a <select> or <datalist> html element is re-implemented in a vue.js UI library and across 3 different files in Vuex. On the backend the story is even worse. Strapi is very limiting and it's not designed to be extended with custom business logic so we have to rely on custom solutions from scratch. Rails appears to be the best solution to our problems but our CTO only likes Javascript i guess...

What might surprise him/her even more is that PHP is actually better than js/react at anything web related. Symfony and Laravel are amazing frameworks. You get frontend scaffolding and admin generation,fast templating languages, authentication, authorization, databases, great tooling. On top of that PHP 8.0 improved the type system and these frameworks are quickly adapting to use types everywhere.

When it comes to web applications tho, Django is not as pollished as Laravel/Symfony. There is no webpack integration (or any other npm frontend tool). built-in authentication is very basic, hosting is a pain.

The thing is a haven't written a single line of code in Django, but modern PHP and it's ecosystem looks more fun from a front-end, JS developer's perspective

Dual monitor setup is a huge problem with linux distros. I haven't found yet any DE that works out of the box. I'm really looking forward to KDE with official stable wayland support, until then 2021 is not the year of linux desktop

We're all complaining about how js is a bad language, tooling is a mess, and how the web is fundamentally built for documents and makes it hard to create app-like experiences. Now, Google comes and creates a whole new UI toolkit from scratch, couples it with a very beautiful SDK and component framework and offers a far better programming language than js could ever be but we're still nagging. I was also pretty disappointed with the demo at flutterfolio.com that is supposed to show how great Flutter 2.0 for the web is. It's not that good but it's gonna get there eventually, given the hype around wasm and <canvas> technologies. Not to mention that Flutter is already better and easier to use than the existing native tools for both Android and iOS. I believe Flutter is an extremely ambitious project and I appreciate that Google is really trying to give an answer to the problem of cross-platform UI development.

I recently got introduced to the Laravel framework in php. I think it's probably the best implementation of a monolith web framework right now. Php is very simple if you come from c/java and the framework provides you with so much functionality out of the box.

I love it! I like how it's just pure php and purposefully built for small size I/O needs. The documentation also looks great, so I might actually give it a try. Has anyone used it?

On a side note, for small projects everyone preaches about serverless js functions and firebase, but a can't imagine how sleekdb + a micro framework like slim + modern php 8 is actually bad

What would be the best programming language matching his criteria(flexible, concise, static types, DSLs)?

Right now Next.js might be the hottest front end framework but I'm looking for something simpler to build SPA's. I'm not interested in SSR or SSG at all. Mithril.js looks very promising as it provides you with everything you might need to build a simple web app out of the box. The only other frameworks that do that is Angular and Ember, but they're both declining in popularity especially Ember. On the other hand React.js has CRA that is very complicated and doesn't even come with routing out of the box. Is there any other good and modern SPA framework out there?

Serious question. Is there an alternative to create-react-app for SPAs? I know Next.js is the hottest framework right now but i'm only interested in client-side rendering
