For me, the biggest benefits of tailwind vs other options is

a) it helps you codify your design system in utility classes. It makes it easier to keeps things consistent.

b) LLMs understand it better than plain css or other css-in-js systems where you're constantly wrestling control back. I mean, you still wrestle, but less.

Were I work I have to deal with an 8-years old codebase and we've switch several times from plain css, css modules, styled components, radix and now tailwind. I would be mad if I still had to write all those classes manually, but it's not the case anymore thank God.

Adding keyboard support gets very annoying after a while. I recently posted a new version a package I made that makes it really simple to add keyboard shortcuts to javascript apps: keyboardist.io

I am sorry, I am probably just very dumb, but this sounds extremely wasteful. If this is a reflection of how software was made before AI I wonder how anything was ever made.

Amigo! If you're not a professional video editor but you have to, occasionally, make long videos shorter or just remove awkward silences, etc., the cut page is a godsend. You grab the knife tool, bim, bam, boom, you're done.

This is such a sloppy face verification system.

One of the first thing I did with Claude Code was to tell it to never credit itself in commits. Same with other AI coding tools.

> what makes this different from the native html video element?

You don't realize how blessed you are to not know the answer to that question and to never ever have to say "Screw it, I'll just use video.js".

> I group European & American food into their respective groups as well.

If by "American" you mean "Unitedstatesian" then I agree. But Latinamerican food is worlds apart from what the US and Canada eat.

Looks like it is back.

I'm not looking for a job, but I can do consulting. I have 20+ years of experience in web development, specially front-end. I've been coding React apps almost exclusively since 2014. I've been doing remote my whole engineering career so I'm one of the most reliable remote programmers you'll be able to find.

I've been looking for something like this to coordinate volunteers. Per seat pricing makes it impossible for us to use any existing tool, so we stick to WhatsApp which is productivity hell.

Well, there's one more hard requirement. We need the tool to work in Spanish. It's unbelievable how many apps refuse to localize their app, taking into account how easy it is too keep a good localized app in many languages. You're early stage, so this would be a good time adding i18n, l10n. If you want help dealing with that, I can help.

I've been suffering from de quervain tenosynovitis for the last 6 months or so. I thought it was the cause I can't type anymore.

Remember when the saying was that Netflix was trying to become HBO before HBO could become Netflix? That turned out weird

In Mexico, we get it for free

I'm surprised there's no startup building a helicarrier

Of course it has nothing to do with his tattoos.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned how these days having a tattoo, no matter which, is a potential one-way ticket to a prison in El Salvador. That's a very good reason to having them removed.

> Wait, is the angle of the book that she’s a good person? That can’t possibly be right…

Well, she paints herself as an idealist who believes Facebook can be an agent of [presumably positive] change, so at least she thinks of herself as good in some sense of the word. That’s what I found intriguing about that shark attack prologue. If it had been written by a third person or if this were a novelization, it would feel like a character-revealing moment, telling the audience that she’s actually selfish and self-absorbed, and setting expectations for her behavior before getting into the story.

Did you find the author/narrator very unlikable?

[mild spoilers ahead]

I was tempted to stop reading after the shark attack story when she wakes up in the hospital and declares "I saved myself". Ugh. But I think it makes narrative sense: why would a good person stay at the company after all she has witnessed? It also makes the company leaders seem so much worse in comparison.

One more thing: Is it credible that she had such a high profile job for so long and still be worried about money?

he is just anti-mexico.

As a MobX user, now I'm curious about your Mobx + websockets framework.

Just recently I had to code a little but complex animation and I ended up using the web animations API. It's nice, it was a lot less code than the css counterpart.

But, if I* have to write this same animation in two years and @property is widely available, I'll reach up for that first.

*To be honest, it will be 100% an LLM that writes it for me.

Well, one could be faily musically inclined and never have listened to "despacito" on the height of its fame.

And I think that in this case,the critic was kind of a dick in his critic. In a very knowledgeable and eloquent manner he implies that if (from his perspective) the painter is not very good nor the art he produces, then the only explanation is that all the people who enjoys his art are gullible simpletons who don't know art. He has every right to have this opinion, of course, but he shouldn't be surprised if the gullible simpletons in question loudly disagree.

This is funny, pressed the dice icon and I got "Milk" and "Cookie" and I thought it was going to be a short connection. It isn't. https://www.wikibinge.com/#Milk/Cookie

I've been using the Logi MX Ergo Trackball for about four years now and I couldn't go back for standard mice.

Yes! we got one last year and although we use it mostly just to cook beans (this being a mexican household) it has improved our lives enormously.
