USERS care if code is messy. They care if the app is buggy. Or slow. Or if the UX is frustrating. Or if important features are missing or broken. These are downstream effects of messy, unmaintainable code.
Senior developers are currently having a massive existential crisis because Claude writes "messy code" A junior just used Claude to ship an entire feature in 2 hours. Meanwhile, the Senior is still spending 3 days reviewing code. When will y'all realize that literally nobody cares if the code is "messy"?

You know how when you start typing into a field and then a truckload of JS finally lands and everything you typed gets wiped out? That's because of controlled inputs.
Controlled components make an imperative API declarative, but does it really buy you enough for the theoretical and implementation complexity? <input type="checkbox" value={checked} /> onClick={() => setChecked(true)} vs onClick={() => ref.checked = true}

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). nitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1jxXgeyMk…

I always choose passkeys if the app/website supported them. I don’t think that’s the case for non-tech people. Maybe it’s because “passkey” is a very technical term. My mom knows what FaceID is but not what a passkey is. Using familiar icons could help as well.

FYI passkeys handle both identification and verification of the user. So you don’t really need to provide your email ever. But if you only have the passkey on file and somehow you lose it, good luck recovering your account.

Miss the old days of open source. Code carried a piece of its maker. Software made with <3.

Crete is an amazing place to lock in for a month. Greek food is delicious and healthy (rare!). Most products are sourced locally, and the ratio of organic shops per square meter is the highest we've seen so far. It's a bit quiet now because it's winter, but there are a bunch of open gyms and Greek people are very kind and welcoming. The mother of our Airbnb owner lives downstairs and keeps feeding us delicious Cretan food! The landscape is wonderful. Snowy Mountains surrounded by the clear Mediterranean Sea. I saw someone swimming without a wetsuit the other day. Many locals have a little farm outside town where they make olive oil. There are lemon and orange trees everywhere! You can literally get your vitamin C refill just by walking down the street. Cherry on the top: Wife can walk alone without being catcalled. Minor downsides: - Sidewalks are too narrow to be walkable for 2 people - Heating is done by burning wood, which spikes AQI at night depending on wind direction - Digital entrepreneurship culture is (or seems to be) inexistent. Chania, the city from where I'm writing this, could be a great place for Longevity Hotels. My wife and I are visiting lands. Just curious, but we never know!
I moved the startup office to Crete, Greece 🇬🇷 My wife and I are searching for a new nest after Bali, so we travel slowly and hit the local gyms to make new friends. I'm back to work after 10 days off for Christmas. I'm working on TrustMRR's marketplace, setting up Escrow to transfer startups safely.

Clerk is hiring a PM for our Billing product. Who would you recommend? Clerk Billing has over 500 customers, and volume has been growing ~30% MoM for the last 6 months. It's *flying* But we don't support many basics yet. Seat-based billing is in progress, usage-based is up next. There's a long roadmap of coupons, discounts, credits, internationalization, tax, etc etc etc It's an easy place to drive immediate customer impact AND business impact for Clerk. In the long run, we expect Billing to drive more revenue than our Authentication product (this sounds crazy, but it's true at Shopify - they make more from "Merchant Services" than their store subscriptions!)
