Wanted to start a new project and since I always want the latest and greatest tools, installed biome. mf says comments are not allowed in tsconfig.json. 🤦‍♂

I genuinely think a non-coder will have an easier time learning to wield agents effectively than advanced developers. The reason: forced constraints. If you don’t know the old path, you must learn the new path.

I believe advanced developers can overcome this. It just takes discipline. Note to self

I had used CRA, webpack, parcel, snowpack,... and I immediately knew that Vite would make it.

two years ago, I thought vite may stop growing
a lot of momentum, but also hard issues:
- expanding scope to meet ecosystem needs
- scaling the team to match demand
- story for large enterprise apps

fast forward: Environment API, VoidZero, Rolldown
and it now feels like vite is just getting started

I can't fathom how this is implemented. Guess I don't know typescript.

I wonder if "Open Source" is the best way to refer to what we do and how we build together. It emphasizes the code's availability, but that is only one requirement. The process and people are as important. Maybe something like "Collectively Coded" could help users when interacting with the project.

The process is more important than the product. In light of the fact that everything ends, this is especially true.

Having it as "shadcn/ui" in cursor rules messes up the agent terminal commands. So I'm using "shadcn ui" now.

A significant number of conflicts happen because of misunderstanding, lack of understanding or, miscommunication.

Using python even for something simple makes me realize how blessed we are with Node.js ecosystem even with the shittiness of JavaScript.

People seem to love this. But it never works for me. Not even once. It generates garbage with errors everywhere.
bolt.new is so good.

Whenever I wanted to build a side project, I used to dread having to do that first step of building some sample layout before I infuse it with functionality (the "easy" part), but now I can just describe what I want that template to look like and fill in the rest myself.

Prompt, run, edit & deploy web apps
