@adamdenverco@janaagaard@TheJackForge This sums it up quite nicely. People can have their issues with Tailwind, but for me It remedies most of things I donโt like about writing CSS, and as a result makes me enjoy writing CSS so much more.
@AdamRackis Weird to see people questioning the Reactโs monopoly. Yes, other frameworks do exist and some people are being paid to work with them. However, seems pointlessly contrarian to dispute the fact Reactโs market share is orders of magnitude higher than the rest.
@AdamRackis Iโm really hyped by the current state of front-end frameworks. @astrodotbuild has really changed my view as to what it means to build modern websites. Iโm really enjoying working with it. That coupled with the SvelteKit 1.0 which I guess will be coming very soon, has me pumped.
@fireship_dev Iโm not here to cause trouble, but clitool is super out of fashion nowadays. Me and all my super cool friends have been using cli-tool since before it was popular.
@chrismardell@FaangStaffEng@kentcdodds Agree with this. Good tech should never have to cover for bad code. My opinion on this is ship as little JavaScript as possible and hydrate only what you need to. Iโm a big fan of how @astrodotbuild leverages its islands architecture to keep things fast.
@corin_ja I can imagine all that exploration and discovery is going to make for some thirsty work, make sure to have a beer between each beer to stay hydrated!
@KevinNaughtonJr I find myself becoming passionate about tools when Iโm taken aback by how well they solve a particular problem, but the problem should come first, then the tool. The issue with some devs is theyโve already chosen their tool before theyโve seen the problem it needs to solve.
@EthanGardner@astrodotbuild I think DX is a huge part of it, different frameworks are often different solutions to the same problem, that appeal to varying groups of developers. If you know how to solve a problem in one way, that will become your default, because learning new things is often hard.
Ah man, Iโm sold on @astrodotbuild. In an industry that is flooded with developers who are so adversarial and partisan about their tools and will advocate for their use universally, itโs awesome to find something that aims itself at solving a particular problem extremely well 1/2
Content driven sites are the bread and butter of the web and I, any many others, reach for tools that over-engineer and ship way too much JS as a side-effect of our own comfort. I really think @astrodotbuild is a tool that should be rallied around as a โ Problem solved.
