@mattpocockuk If you have no context to start with, how would you recommend building it up?

[Benjamin Reid @benjaminreid]

@mamamicah93 Being an avid Cracker Barrel fan yourself…

I don’t even follow him… 😪 Abuse of the platform. This maybe the last straw for me.

@longislandviper I know little of GI Joe but spotted this in a local shop. Let me know if it’s valuable to pick up and I’ll send it all the way from the place you detest so much, Europe.

@joshm I could see this doing wonders for accessibility. I mean it’d wipe the floor with a screen reader.

First post on Bluesky and it had to be praising @nuqs47ng https://t.co/rY3ih0bwDw

@joshm @t3dotgg @browsercompany This is not reflective of anything I’ve experienced.

I’ve had no performance issues since I started using Arc in January '23. Using it day in day out as a personal and development browser.

"Arc is actually dead" seems very hyperbolic.

@TkDodo I’ve always been tempted with https://t.co/ih2K6jJjki for similar reasons.

i am increasingly skeptical of open source that is directly tied with vc

[Benjamin Reid @benjaminreid]

@alanjhorne It’s *so* well done there.

It only took me 7 months (ironically) but I’ve finally finished @finalfantasyvii Rebirth.

What a wonderful game ⚔️

Wonder how many people scoffing at the PS5 Pro price that paid ~£200 to add an extra 1TB of storage to their original PS5.

Total cost is not much shy of the £700 mark (£449 + £200).

PS5 Pro includes a 2TB drive by the way... 🙃

[Benjamin Reid @benjaminreid]

@TkDodo I guess that’s where something like Relay helps (not for your average team though obviously!), or we’re just hoping we can keep track of what needs to be loaded.

[Benjamin Reid @benjaminreid]

@leeerob Even if you don’t go full Neovim, taking the motions back to VS Code is really valuable.

My VS Code is as basic as Neovim, with the basic motions and can always hop back to the more “IDE” features if I need. Can’t fully commit, ha.

hear me out:
for react query, drop query key management, and use queryOptions instead – we followed this pattern at Earn, and things are much simpler now

@TkDodo has a great blog post on this as well: https://t.co/lS7PlQivuh

[Benjamin Reid @benjaminreid]

@_csalmeida Do they have a stable `key`? That may help 🤔

We’re never going there. Creativity is made, not generated.

@housecor @mattpocockuk The TanStack Router does this well, https://t.co/FrlXpLw489.

See, there’s nothing React can’t do!
