Has anyone ever seen a demo on CodeSandbox that actually works? I haven't.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Working on converting a huge Groovy codebase to Kotlin. This would be damn near impossible without AI. It'd take forever. It takes a long time, and is very tedious, even with the help of AI. This is a perfect job for a LLM.

Really digging the Lucide icon library. I just ran into a problem where I wanted a filled flag icon, but it seemed that all their icons are outline-only. But for some icons, including Flag, you can just give it a fill and stroke. If you need a filled icon, just give it fill. You have control. Nice!

Not to brag too much but I just got back from a meeting with a customer who talked about how much they like my SaaS, fielderapp.com, how it saves them so much time/effort, etc. That’s awesome, but it’s hard to accept when all I ever think about is what is WRONG with my product.

After struggling for over an hour trying to get Pino working in an app built with Vite 6, with all suggestions from both Claude and ChatGPT failing, I had to resort to actually reading documentation and doing it myself.

I think this brilliantly articulates my own thoughts/experience with using LLMs to help with programming.
I always figured that for AI to really take over the job it should just write programs directly in binary. Programming languages et al are for humans. world.hey.com/dhh/the-prem...

The premise trap
The hardest part for me about collaborating with junior programmers, whether it's in open source or at work, is avoiding the premise trap. That's where the fundamental assumptions baked into the first...

I currently have a form with an address autocomplete field, to capture an address in a single text field. I noticed that Stripe's Address Element will auto-expand to show extra detail fields once you select an address. Thinking of copying that. Thoughts? #designsky

Recently switched from i18next to Lingui. I love being able to write the text directly in my JSX instead of having a bunch of t(“msgkey”) calls. Also love the PO format, so I can write comments in the translation file. Makes it easier for LLMs to do the translations for me.

Watched this amazing video last night about how microchips are made. Just thinking about all the human intelligence that goes into the process boggles my mind. The video production is awesome too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX9C...

Really looking forward to Civilization VII coming out on Feb 11. I hope its as awesome as I expect it to be. So far I really like that the graphics don't seem to be as cartoonish/cutesy as Civ VI.

Finally checked out my Spotify Wrap. My top song was Loading Zones by Kurt Vile. I was in the top 0.05% for that song. I park for free!

Ughh, just realized our React Native app uses toSorted and that causes problems for Android because toSorted is not available there. The best way to avoid this kind of dumb mistake altogether would be to NOT use RN. Use the platform, with a good compiled language (Kotlin) instead. Sigh.

I really like the design of Prismic's main landing page prismic.io
It is clean and simple, yet still dynamic and engaging with, subtle animations, without being annoying or distracting. The animations serve to help me understand what they're offering without really having to read or think too hard.

We're using JPA/Hibernate with our Micronaut-based backend. I'm struggling with some strange (to me) Hibernate issues lately. Feeling some "grass is greener" vibes looking at jOOQ. Looking for advice from people who have experience with both. Do you prefer jOOQ, or a "no ORM" approach generally?
