I don't think development is solved. The main activity in development is having a clue about what to maintain and why it's important, and dealing with operational aspects. Writing a first prototype is solved. No doubt about that.

I'm usually not one to write thought pieces without much technical depth. But here we go.
Slow the fuck down.

Every Member of Congress who voted for this disastrous piece of legislation must pay a price at the ballot box during the next election.
They do not deserve to be re-elected and they must be defeated.

Here's our last parody song about the #USElection2024. It's called "Bohemian Trumpsody" (based on the inimitable @QueenWillRock but with only six voices & no overdubs) & we've self-trolled in it as 'libtards' already, just to save folks time who might be offended 🎶🗳️🤞

React 19 greatly simplify vanilla data fetching
Previously we had to useEffect, handle race conditions, unmounts, loading/error state...
Now you just:
- store a promise
- read it within Suspense/ErrorBoundary
This makes a whole class of problems disappear

Primer is the best movie at exploring time travel paradoxes
If you disagree you have to tell me what movie you think is better so I can watch it

At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.

I'd just like to point out that, for 250 years, American presidents didn't need to ask for immunity.

look how much better a jacket looks when the chest is a little fuller, the shoulder slightly extended, and padding is used where needed to confer that flattering V-shaped silhouette

It is my informed, professional opinion that @astrodotbuild is the single best tool to use to build high-quality websites at this point in time, period.
Nothing else in the space comes close. Very thankful for @FredKSchott and his team who have worked so hard on this.

debugger freezes time, print freezes 'space'. sometimes you need to inspect the state of a system at a crucial moment, sometimes you need a birds-eye view. learn to wield both!

I've worked with Eric for decades. He's not only an incredible thinker and programmer, but he's also one of the most lovable people I know. Any team will be better with Eric as a member. Good luck my friend! 🤗

IMO everyone should take a moment today to read about + celebrate the life of John Goodenough:
- Served in WW2
- PhD with Enrico Fermi
- in his 30's, helped create RAM
- At 58, invented Lithium-Ion batteries
- At 97, oldest Nobel laureate ever
- Lived to 100, almost 101
RIP to a great man with the best last name any engineer should aspire to
