@BHolmesDev Thats only true with certain frameworks and bundlers

I build serverless nodejs software and our process does not install dev deps during deployment, which is important since size affects cold start performance in serverless

@sxp256 @solid_js Oops sorry about that! I’ve moved domains for my blog, it’s at https://t.co/ueo7j4qElI now

I’ll set up a redirect later

New blog post: Writing Your Own Reactive Signal Library.

Signals, like in @solid_js, are surprisingly simple to write! Learning how they work helped me understand how to use Solid more effectively

@lil_indigestion 💙💙💙 I’m so excited for you!!!

[Luke Shafer @lksh_dev]

@BHolmesDev I like this API! Looking forward to trying it ☺️

Question: would you recommend using actions for non-mutating data fetches? I imagine the type safety would be nice for loading data in both Astro files and client components

Or is the focus more on mutations/POST requests?

@SST_dev dang I just tried deploying my app and it just said SOLD OUT. my “dozens” of users won’t be happy!

@WesSouza_ @BHolmesDev @shyam_tawli They’re busy with real responsibilities

@nbrempel Calico cut pants! It’s got nothing to do with piss

@devagrawal09 @EffectTS_ I’m stingy about libraries I add to projects. It seems neat but adds a bunch of runtime overhead for the sake of code structure. It also seems way too unstable to use in a serious prod environment

Interesting to see, in response to triangle company’s pricing changes, so few people mentioning AWS. Are people so afraid of learning something that they’ll turn down dirt cheap hosting and high reliability? And with something like SST or Architect it’s SO easy

AI is not intelligent at all, here is why:

- AI models are static, frozen in time & only rehash the past. They don't learn dynamically nor adapt to change.

- The human brain is dynamic & adaptive, a child is like a scientist doing experiments by playing around & learning.

@trunarla Asking the important questions, thank you 🫡

@Una Made a site for a Twitch streamer using view transitions for browsers that support it (using Astro)! Click “Cards” and then click on any card to see a transition 😊 https://t.co/YDxqoVIpki

This thread is full of valuable information that goes beyond improving your bash scripts. Great read!

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

cat is the most misused thing by programmers new to linux. I cringe every time someone uses it wrong in a bash script. Thread below with proper uses of cat only

Advice I wish I could give my past self: don't keep your WSL installation in your Downloads folder

[Luke Shafer @lksh_dev]

@lil_indigestion I would spend so much money to have this

[Luke Shafer @lksh_dev]

@thdxr The experience is phenomenal. I’ve been developing a twitch integration using SST, and the fact that I can update code and immediately invoke it from my twitch chat is SO helpful

[Luke Shafer @lksh_dev]

@lil_indigestion You’re not playing End Times though, are you?

[Luke Shafer @lksh_dev]

@BHolmesDev I work on an Astro app-like site for a Twitch streamer! It's a collectible card site, built using SST for infra. Site is https://t.co/YDxqoVIpki, repo is https://t.co/dJtvVohDnE.

A lot of the CRUD stuff is behind an admin login so you won't see it but soon we'll have trading!
