Pretty sure you can cure that with another hook

I wish they let
@ricky.fm
keep going but if you make an exception, expect to make another. But dang, I wanted to see the rest.

Overall, half of me hates these 19.2 qol features because I have bespoke solutions to em. The smarter half loves em cause they're better than what I've built 😂

Why use 1 icon when you can use 2?

Definitely not me as it'll carry no weight but I look forward to reading it. I've been using bun a little bit and trying to use it more. Loving it so far

I've been playing with a few side projects since reading this.

Bun boots starts and seems to refresh way faster so I'm liking it. I'm testing simple cruds atm so haven't run into any blockers.

Gotta test vitest still. Ran into some weirdness but didn't have time to debug. Hopefully it's trivial.

Idk if it's helpful (and I'm not in front of a computer today), but there's a way to group config files in a pseudo folder so they're hidden.

It would definitely warrant a warning on you courses cause file structure would look different... Maybe it cleans up the visual clutter though?

I don't write go, is defer similar to await or does it queue the close for when resp is no longer used?

I'm sitting here with a split keyboard wondering if I should add a second backspace button and you're chilling here with none!

Haha yup. I think I got mine in 2018 or 19. Idk if they all are, but I'm pretty sure paperwhite and above are ipx68
December 22, 2024 at 5:32 AM
It's definitely hard to justify upgrading. I got whichever Paperwhite is waterproof though, thats worth it imo

Do you have a "why to build compound components"?

I feel like I only ever see them with useContext, which is rarer and rarer these days.

Everything is a ui. Even the terminal. But yeah, I complain about em a lot.

Everyone just needs to make better UIs 🤷

... I might be slightly crotchety on this topic

Well done dude. I remember seeing you when you were just starting out and I tried to buy you a book but you wouldn't let me 😂. Glad you're still doing you

Oh nice. Didn't load for me but it's up now. Can't use my PC key for PS5 though lol. Looks like I'm stuck in PC 😭

PS store doesn't have it yet 😔

Throw an error and tell em to get a better file and/or requirements.

If that doesn't work, I'd say go with @jakebailey.dev

In college I learned that there were a lot of Three Letter Acronyms in computer science. So to make it easier, we'd call them TLAs 🫠

I'm enjoying the mix. It's nice to see the person behind the face
November 28, 2024 at 8:09 PM
Please don't make it fun for others.... I don't have enough time

This is pretty solid. I'm gonna have to look at the code but for an MVP/pre-design I'd definitely take it. Api -> ingestible data is usually the annoying boilerplate junk imo. Did it follow your typings/etc for the zod schema?

Been waiting for this. I hate that everything needs vscode. Been using intellij for years but am feeling out learning nvim.
