fullstack dev in mostly typescript react. learning Svelte and Clojure atm. opinions are my own. internet abode: byhow.me
I think I’m ready to stop being religious about tech stacks and pick up the @elixir-lang.org PETAL stack now, which seems like it is actually solving a problem rather than flashing cool gadgets

and it is so easy to learn and also mess up typescript, so almost certainly you need some custom modules to structure and enhance your dev workflow, (effect, biome, vite, etc) and don’t start on that “just switch to x language” talk; for any Fullstack app, the js avoidance strategy just don’t work

in defense of rapidly growing and changing typescript packages and use it in composition rather than meta-frameworks (like RoR or Phoenix), the demand for more complicated features are evolving exponentially thus it requires more flexible and robust methodologies to adapt to it

JavaScript avoidance strategies just don’t work, and I think unless you are actively inventing Hotwire/Liveview HTML over the wire techniques, all the backend languages differ in semantics and performance so might as well just stick to end to end TypeScript in that case.

not a big fan of consulting firms reports that just reduce people to numbers, that just another penny on a fortune 500 stock narrative. but also i recognize the work to try to make sense of the world and deduce the current and forecast the future. props to Mary Meeker: www.bondcap.com/reports/tai

The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.

This is super cool, great read for someone who’s not familiar with the Rust community driven effort over the past (and very impressive!) 10 years. Now I see it being a super holistically designed infrastructure rather than just a system engineering focused toolset

A note from the Rust Foundation: Today, May 15, 2025, marks 10 years since the first stable release of Rust. To commemorate this milestone, we are excited to share the following guest blog contributed...

i know it seems dumb that we inject so much 3rd party bundlers/utils/validation/effect libraries just so a JavaScript app works, but it’s important too cuz we can’t rewrite everything with a more feature complete language like Rust can we
