Why you may want to be careful when using React.cloneElement. 🧵

[Fabien Weibel - Wishlist Sandcastle @FabienWeibel]

This is an early preview of Sandcastle, a new game I am working on. It's a relaxing sandbox (literally) where all you have to do is build the nicest sand castle! 🏖️

You can wishlist it if you want -> https://t.co/9L2GQFNq7b

I'll post more dev logs here and on my discord

@linear I imagine hardly anyone would ever end up in this situation, but I was curious about what happens if you go deep, there's a small UI issue here

[Jonathan Catchpowle @catchpowle]

@vanlancker @untitleddotnew I’d be interested in reading it!

[Jonathan Catchpowle @catchpowle]

@jjenzz I’ve been thinking about this a lot since I first saw that blog post and honestly think it’s the right way to go

[Jonathan Catchpowle @catchpowle]

It's a little late here, so I'll post more tomorrow and reference inspiration, but happy to say I have a toy version of odyss-cache working with the following tentative API.

[Jonathan Catchpowle @catchpowle]

Decided to join nights and weekends s5, I'm going to use the next few weeks to explore an idea around cache invalidation management. I'm calling it Odyss.

@chronark @RhysSullivan A good blog post on this topic https://t.co/WYT9iZ676o

[Jonathan Catchpowle @catchpowle]

@chronark @RhysSullivan They can significantly slow down most people's default approach to test suites/linting that follow all non-cached imports they find in them, even if they're irrelevant to the file importing from that barrel file https://t.co/Plp5y19pWg

@rannbouusagi @_buildspace @_nightsweekends I think the one liner is too generic and could be more specific about what makes this game special. It seems to be about collecting items, it might be worth referencing that and then going deeper into why that's interesting in the second part. Hope that helps! 🙂

[Jonathan Catchpowle @catchpowle]

@sm0junior @_nightsweekends @_buildspace The one liner here doesn't paint a picture for me of what this is. From the tweet text I think it involves donating to people in need, but that's not instantly clear from the one liner. Hope this feedback helps 🙂

[Jonathan Catchpowle @catchpowle]

@Breakthruapp @_buildspace @_nightsweekends For me this description is not super clear on what this saas actually does. For example what is storytelling in this context, is it fiction, marketing or maybe something else? Hope this feedback comes across as useful 🙂

@jjenzz That's amazing, can't wait!

Libraries in this category rarely gain widespread adoption but are game-changing when they do, so I'll keep an eye on it.

[Jonathan Catchpowle @catchpowle]

@mattpocockuk's approach is spot on for libraries like this and helps you consider the tradeoffs appropriately. As creator @MichaelArnaldi mentioned in the thread, it's an Embedded Domain-Specific Language.

[Matt Pocock @mattpocockuk]

My current mental model, which the maintainers might disagree with, is this:

Effect should be treated like a new language, like Elm or ReScript, that happens to use TypeScript syntax.

This language has a ton of benefits. Strongly-typed errors. Built-in handling of complex things like concurrency, timeouts, data validation. Awesome composability with less FP bullshit.

Basically, you choose Effect as a new language to work in if you think that TypeScript is too loose. It makes your code more robust, and you ship fewer bugs.

[Jonathan Catchpowle @catchpowle]

@thdxr I'd be really curious to try it, if there are any invites left 🙂

[Jonathan Catchpowle @catchpowle]

@chatsidhartha @CloudflareDev Super exciting! 🥳🥳🥳

[Jonathan Catchpowle @catchpowle]

@jasoncwarner Should this read “Meta is clearly 1b” or perhaps I’m misunderstanding 🤔

[Remix London @remix_london]

Thank you to all who came to @remix London last night, I hope you had a great time it was lovely to see everyone! Special thanks to @chatsidhartha, @threepointone and @moishinetzer for providing awesome talks and @cloudflare for hosting!

[Sid @chatsidhartha]

Remix London was a lot of fun today. Massive turnout and talks by @threepointone @moishinetzer and myself

Thanks @catchpowle for organizing and @CloudflareDev for hosting
