Re:You Don’t Need a UI Framework on Saturday May 07, 2022 @02:57AM (#31292689)
Honorable mention frameworks like Chakra that have minimal styling but have many quality of life features. At the end of the day I find there’s a trade off with the new benefits of tailwind like or reactive styling of components with an sx prop. I also think that react has the issue of being harder to customize than Vue which has scoped slots.

If you’re interested in what’s possible atm, check out the Varjo XR-3. No screen door effect.

What intro cs class uses Haskell as its first language!

Re:Cartography: Solving Software Development Scaling on Monday January 25, 2021 @11:00PM (#25912358)
Hi I'm starting a dev tool company and trying to solve the problem of scaling software development. In other words I'm looking for a way to keep complex code-bases understandable.

Software development in the beginning is always super quick. As the app balloons in size, and more devs join, you end up spending more and more time just reading code, making sure you understand what's going on.

Looking to talk to some people to see what their processes and pain points are!

Are you going to share it?
You're also working twice the hours, no thanks. 996? No one is actually productive when you're working for that long.
My Dad makes more than that in Australia. He is a software scientist though, he makes prototype physics simulation software. I think he's underpaid when considering the amount of value he creates (in 5 months made a better version of one simulation technology than a team of about a dozen working in it for 3-4 yesterday) but then again my dad doesn't care much for money. He likes working on interesting problems.

I agree. The article is so obviously biased against anything related to the world of tech that it makes me feel like it was written by a bot.
I've experienced a similar response from people I talk with. It's such a simple premise and idea that seems oversimplified and lacks nuance. The main issue is that it is so against the way the system currently world, there's no foreseeable solution.
Re:How we do Vue: one year later (2017) on Tuesday March 19, 2019 @12:58AM (#19428186)
Use JSX in your Vue. It's supported just fine.
This is a really cool project! Will definitely be useful. Quick question about what the motivation behind the project was.

Wow Tom! Congrats on getting into the program. It was funny seeing your name on hacker news. Cheers, Shane.
If you mean the online intro course, you're right. If you mean the second or third course of a c.s. degree, then you're wrong.
