There is no a code solution for building forms that takes into account schema for validation + showing read-only state while allowing this logic be complex and be based on other forms fields, and still be type safety. This combination really hard to achieve

I wonder how many lookups should happen before it becomes more expensive than creating a memory

Kind of annoying when you suggest REST, devs only think about the most naive implementation

I really don't get the idea of GraphQL with normalized store.
- For dealing with over-fetch, you need a complicated store for telling what was fetched and what wasn't
- If you don't use the shape of the graph from the response, you're doing double work at best

I find it amusing that some GraphQL clients normalize data from a response. This is pretty much defeat the idea of GraphQL

AI benchmarks are funny. I don’t know two developers that use AI the same way. But somehow AI benchmarks assume all the prompts are the same, all the code bases are the same, and everyone uses the same framework

We talk a lot of APIs from the point of view of what it does, why it’s technically a good solution, when we should use it.
We don’t talk enough about the psychology of what it feels to a developer to use that API.
Psychology is a major factor why we use APIs incorrectly

Made a new PostCSS plugin for generating more realistic smooth shadows like on smoothshadows.com
Now designers usually rely on generators, but the resulting code is often hard to maintain.

The 3 worst GraphQL myths:
❌ Everything is POST
❌ All URLs are /graphql
❌ Anyone can query anything
One solution destroys all three: Persisted Operations/Trusted documents

The more I read LLMs sessions, and I see what they do with tool calling, the more I'm convinced filenames are critical. Also the folders they're at. Unlike many other, I'm quite convinced, what's good to LLMs **isn't** necessarily good for humans

Serialization and deserialization without blowing React | Ori Livni’s Notes
Let’s say you have a string source of data. You need to read and write from it. You don’t really have much to do with string so you’d deserialize it and use JSON.parse(…) and when you need to serializ...

I'd really like to use Cursor, but every time I find a new embarrassing bug. For example, for a few weeks, showing code changes stop working, and I needed to do voodoo to make it work again. Now, it stops to index the project, so It doesn't find files for cmd+p. It's a really "bug tier" product
