@IanMitchel1 @mattpocockuk Very real-world point, especially if types are shared and then go out of sync. How bad is the breakage? What are some ways you’ve found to deal with this? Type guards that resolve API version?

@JonBruner Very cool work!

💡You folks might be onto a valuable service – electronics rated by actual capability, quality, and predicted durability.

The hard science here is stunning because it peels the opaque skin from same-looking products to show how different they are in reality!

Now this is an amazing new piece of tech we might all be using in several years!

The British Red Cross is working directly with Red Crescent to provide immediate aid to Morocco (over 1000 have died in the quakes) and is accepting donations. 🙏 🏥

Super weird. QAnon has found a petri dish in the formerly safe space of health & wellness groups. The author lays out a few cogent reasons behind this hidden trend

Massively under-reported science story because there's so much going on right now but...it turns out that we might have figured out what's causing this very scary spike.

Quick thread, on how WE'VE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY GEOENGINEERING FOR DECADES...but then we stopped:

@swyx Anyway it’s sad, but you’re right. There’s a misguided view that FE I somehow easier or softer.

(One thing that drives this perception is the disparity in testing, it hardens and locks BE systems. FE needs to stay flexible and is harder to test well without hindering progress.)

[MosesSupposes @mosesoak]

@swyx This is a super valuable hidden trap to surface for young devs. Good work.

My perspective, having risen to Principal Engineer & Team Lead from the FE side: there are a couple things wrong besides the industry bias you’ve noticed, which is totally real:

[MosesSupposes @mosesoak]

@swyx Then these folks could rise to the top (if they so desired - again, not always a goal) because it’s more well-rounded and people-focused in the end.

Pure FE AND BE can def get stuck and unfortunately App Engineer isn’t recognized as a thing, people just hear mobile.

[MosesSupposes @mosesoak]

@swyx I’d love to see a world in which App Engineer became a first class citizen along with FE and BE, meaning ANY app - Web, Mobile, XR, Desktop, CLI, etc. - built using whatever technologies fit the app.

[MosesSupposes @mosesoak]

@swyx 2. There is something else as big as FE and BE that doesn’t even need to be called “full stack”, and that is Application Engineering. This can be done in Python, Ruby, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, Typescript. It is big-picture, it is scaled, it is stateful, it is UX-tuned.

[MosesSupposes @mosesoak]

@swyx 1. There’s no need to assume or promote the stereotype that rising to CTO/VPE means success. For people who care about the work and the craft, those goals may sound pretty shallow. The strong need to prove oneself by being ultra-successful in title and pay grade might be vapor.

[MosesSupposes @mosesoak]

@Nexuist Copilot said this? Holy sh*t.. it’s pure poetry!

[MosesSupposes @mosesoak]

@LinusEkenstam So are you worried or giddy about “making a lot of jobs redundant”? Let’s be honest that lots of real people at the bottom of the job market will have another door shut on them now. All because AI is close to being able to trick people? Is fooling people for profit a real goal?

[MosesSupposes @mosesoak]

@kentcdodds Intellisense is great.

I don’t care if it’s XCode / Swift, Typescript, Rust, whatever - I can’t live without the IDE features (in combo w/ strong typing of course) — code hinting, jump to def, instant docs, automated refactors like ‘rename symbol’ and alla that goodness

[MosesSupposes @mosesoak]

Heh. This is fun

We made a #StarWars trailer in the style of #wesanderson hope you guys enjoy it!

[MosesSupposes @mosesoak]

@housecor Your ‘hard truth’ is the truth, many other fields of work with less variation in quality have strict output requirements. That said, I’ve seen smart but low-producing devs with a true drive to improve be fully unblocked by solid pairing, mentoring, and goal-setting

@KillcoDer @dan_abramov That’s an interesting idea but would make Gatsby’s already massive build system into a lerna-like monorepo tool, which is too much to ask. If you can live w/ the hard (no-preload) boundaries between sections, it’s 💯% possible to use rewrites (e.g. on Netlify) to do this though!
