Nah, I don't have time for that grudge. If they hadn't invented it, someone else would have.
This is good news, because React itself is backed by Facebook and Facebook is looking awfully peaked lately, don't you think? Unfortunately, when Facebook goes the way of Friendster, we will have (at least) three branches of React to contend with.

These React frameworks have been backed by for-profit companies for a while but now they’re backed by larger for-profit companies that lead development of multiple f…

I just read on the birdsite that the framework wars are heating up again, but it's between three flavors of corporate-sponsored react framework. I think this means we can stop paying attention to it now and unsubscribe from the whole thing.
He's just so unbelievably close.

I don't think React is inherently better or worse than any other framework out there but it's hard to choose anything else because of how many extraordinarily hard problems you have to solve from scratch if you want to build bullet proof UIs.

So the good news is, it took me about 20 minutes to completely rewrite phpdoesnotsuck from scratch and redeploy. The bad news is my dns appears to be completely on fire. So for right now: https://phpdoesnotsuck.herokuapp.com
Here's a much less polite take: frameworks are so complex and confusing it requires the influence of an entire Chattering Class of content creators to drive adoption and implementation on 5% or fewer websites, a significant portion of which objectively don't need it.

whether or not this is The Big Outage That Finally Takes Twitter Down, you can guarantee that Elon is now having a miserable day, and I just think that's neat.

Actually , I was about to rant about how localStorage seems like the correct move here but it's passé and I can't find anything useful there and I should just write a tiny localStorage library for myself and move on but Nanostores is just... That thing right there. Cool! Thanks 👍 that's pretty much exactly what I needed
@astro
Astro isn't bad but every time I pick it up I keep ending up in this place where I start thinking "this is cool but what problem is it actually solving for me?" Which is why I keep falling back on 11ty. Kinda like how I pretty much only use Sass for nesting selectors, 11ty gives me back dynamic html includes and that's really all I want.
Like, I don't need a single page application, but I still kind of want singleton state management? I think what I'm seeing is that we have SSGs and SPAs, but like the middle is still really Django Laravel Rails
Ok, so I pick an SSG for my site because I don't want to use react, but then I need some data and state from an API and the SSG is all "just scope in some react there bud" and, like, my guy I feel like you weren't actually listening to what I wanted here.
The game should be called Chitter.

ACTUAL game idea tho: a horror game where you can't see the monster, but have to rely on a cat who can. https://twitter.com/JortsTheCat/status/1623906151413977088

I realize that complaining about the lack of functional pockets in women's clothing is so last month, but Jesus H. Bricklaying Christ On A Skateboard I just discovered a company that makes underwear with functional pockets for men. UNDERWEAR.
This just isn't funny anymore.

This book is a visual metaphor for my entire career as a front end developer who works almost exclusively in legacy codebases.

I guess this book must be print on demand now. The pages look OK, but I was startled that the cover was so badly misaligned, but no one decided it didn’t meet their quality standards.

Maybe "the plygs are not ok" or "that is not the problem" as in, the plural marriage is not the problem with polygamy
My next hit podcast idea: a Sister Wives watchalong and review featuring three or four queer poly perverts and moderate amounts of wine. I still don't have a clever name for it. If you steal this idea THANK ME WITH WINE

Considering that we just learned most of our firetrucks fail at fighting fires or being trucks, that'll catch up to today real fast.
