This is 150% why I built @tanstack.com Router first. CSR is 👑 and I don’t see that changing any time soon. If you’re building a CSR React app, you deserve to use the best CSR router.

What kind of React app do you get paid to work on (not hobby projects)?
- CSR, no SSR
- Isomorphic SSR
- RSC
Again, if you don’t use React at a paid gig, don’t reply. If you maintain multiple, reply with the one that makes the most money (the product, not yourself)

I’d really like for a combination of TanStack, local-first data fetching, and CRDTs to win out on as the dominant way we build apps.
I think we’ll finally get native-feeling apps that “just works” on every platform when that happens.

Just updated to iOS 26. It’s really weird now how there are two variants of every UI
You get beautiful Liquid Glass in native apps
Then you open an app like Bluesky, and it still looks like iOS18: buttons, keyboards, modals
The fact that there are two system keyboard designs really messes with me

Update to this: having built two apps with it I think TanStack Router + Convex is a beautiful combination
What a simple yet powerful stack. Works great with LLMs and easy for humans to grasp

Rocicorp’s Zero is pretty amazing from what I can see.
It’s in alpha so I was a bit cautious to use it but I’m very tempted now
It would replace 4 layers of my stack:
Prisma ORM
ZenStack (authorization)
tRPC
TanStack Query
And provide realtime multiplayer for free.

Okay, been a few months since this post.
Ended up going with TinaCMS. Pairs well with Next.js App Router.
I hated working with the App Router when trying to build an app (slowed me down so much), but building a content site with it is such a breeze.
Had so much fun building with this stack.

It’s surprising to me how fragmented everything’s gotten yet all the options on the market seem either too complicated or incomplete
Symptom of catering to either large enterprises or OSS hobbyists I guess

I don’t think AI will replace jobs. I think it will likely change the way specializations are re-organized
For example, in tech, specializations develop around different tooling expertise (UI designer, React developer)
But humans tend to organize around purposes (marketing, R&D, ops)

Much decision-making is tacit or qualitative. Making our OODA loops more legible is the first step towards observability & steerability. AI systems might help us codify this nebulous process. But how will it be trained to do this, and on what data? We don’t have good primitives or tooling for this.
I don’t really want to prompt an AI system.
Instead I want it to passively watch what I do as I do things, talk to me to understand what I’m thinking as I do them, and progressively learn from me.
Over time, it should understands tacitly what it’s like to make certain decisions, and then do them.

Sadly I don’t have a beefy enough computer (which is an M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB RAM) to run Llama-3.3-70b-Instruct.
But I was surprised it was beefy enough to run Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct at an acceptable speed!
9 tokens per second isn’t as fast as ChatGPT, but usable.

A boring but useful way to use AI I discovered today
I like to read on mobile but sadly PDFs have always been problematic
But then I thought, what about “reading” it with AI?
Maybe I can upload the PDF I wanna read and have it spit it back out to me

Listening to Spotify Wrapped
And I realize I’ve been using this product since 2012, yet the algorithm still doesn’t really know my taste well enough to recommend me songs!
I have an eclectic taste and I’m okay with 60-70% of genres. I just want the best of those genres.
Think: GTA radio stations

This is the first year of Spotify Wrapped that I realized I haven’t actually used it all that much.
Don’t know what’s changed: am I aging or is music culture kind of boring now?
I used to be a culture vulture and devoured as much music as I could
Nowadays I just listen to instrumentals

Since Star Wars Outlaws got me back into the Star Wars universe, I’m pleasantly surprised at how much I liked watching Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett
I’ve always thought it was mindless action
But it turns out to be an extension to Star Wars that’s thoughtful, and sometimes heartwarming

It’s crazy how unproductive I used to be with my 2018 Intel MacBook Pro, up until like a week ago.
Getting the M4 MacBook Pro was the best developer productivity upgrade.
Promotion and Apple Silicon is just so buttery smooth.
So glad I got it, even though I had to sell Bitcoin for it.

Maybe it’s just my luck, but I’ve never been at any job where I’ve had more than 1 out of 3.
I ended up type-casted as the “retail fintech mobile product manager”, which also severely hurt my prospects of growth.
Thankfully managed to optimize for good pay. Now I’m paying myself to grow my skills

I've said this before but I'm saying it again: when you're looking at your job, you should have:
- Good pay
- Good culture
- Good growth opportunities
If you have 2/3, it's not too bad, but 0 or 1/3, you might want to question why you're still at that job.

Undecided between the M4 Mac mini and the M4 MacBook Pro
The mini looks *really* tempting – especially since all my work is currently deskbound at home
Plus it still comes in at $200 cheaper with a monitor and trackpad thrown in
That nano-texture and ProMotion screen on the MacBook Pro, though!

I really like the idea of durable execution
It reminds me of something like GitHub Actions. Everything is a workflow. Workflows respond to events. Events can be queued or scheduled.
