The z.ai was stupid cheap during the great anthropic opencode rugpull.

No. Do you realize how much of a joke Claude code is? Under the hood. How they implemented client auth?

Well let me tell you

https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/dev/packages/open...

You literally send your first message “you are Claude code”

The fact that this ever worked was insane.

Headline is more like anthropic vibes a bug and finally catches it.

Playwrights MCP went had a strong idea to default to the accessibility tree instead of DOM. Unfortunately, even that is pretty chonky.

“ AI isn’t just serving as implementer.

It becomes a collaborative design partner.”

You’re completely right!

Here’s the thing though…if you read enough of it, you’re gonna start using it a lot more often. It’s not just AI slop, it’s fundamentally rewiring how we as a society think in real time! It’s the classic copycat AI mannerisms cried wolf Problem!

“It’s not just X, it’s Y” is the calling card of ChatGPT right now.

I’m so sick of this.

Stencil has a way better DX. Especially if you’re doing a whole library of components. You pay a slightly higher perf tax for their auto loader and light vdom. Lit is the way to go if you have opinions and want no magic

But what if I don’t know how to do anything else? I’ve learned the basic rules but struggle really hard even figuring out what’s a legal move.

I’ve become obsessed with pattern languages lately. If you read Timeless Way of Building, you realize we got it all wrong. What everything thinks of as a “pattern” is missing the point entirely. It’s the pattern language that has power.

He even calls out atomic design and all of the flaws with it—no two atoms are actually identical. So the result is we have these rigid design systems that discourage variation because, imo, we can’t be bothered to define the things that make something alive.

My favorite so far—a pattern language for creating a pattern language

Nobody wants Shadow DOM though. Using ::part is always clunky and we’re all lying to ourselves when we say “oh no that’s the feature”.

The whole shadcn/tailwind philosophy of having you own your components is the future.

New comment by commanderkeen08 in "Tailwind CSS v3.0"

commanderkeen08 — Thu, 09 Dec 2021 23:37:27 +0000

Every time Tailwind does something great and gets posted here, the conversation devolves into the same arguments: “I don’t get it. It’s just inline styles.”

What is it about CSS that gets people so offended and opinionated? If it were a new JS framework, few people would be saying “I just don’t get XYZ. Use React”. Is it because Tailwind is so drastically different and breaks people’s core ideas about separation of concerns? Maybe it’s because we all learned CSS very early and were told to do it XYZ and now challenging that is painful.

If you honestly want to “get” Tailwind, go use it in a project. If you don’t like it, don’t use it. Nobody is going to change your mind in a comment and you’ll never convince anyone to stop using it.

Idk. CSS is what I least care about. It’s a thing. I use it to do a thing. And I move on. I used SASS. Now I don’t.

New comment by commanderkeen08 in "PHP 8.1.0"

commanderkeen08 — Fri, 26 Nov 2021 01:37:46 +0000

Honest question: what are people using if not PHP? Node? Python? The 80% of us who aren’t FAANG and are writing CRUD apps. I’ve tried researching the pros/cons and all I get are low quality listicles.

Nobody can tell me why PHP is “bad” or what Python does that PHP can’t. Inconsistent params are the only argument I’ve heard. Which my IDE solves. What about JavaScript splice vs slice. I look it up every time.

fwiw I play exclusively on my couch using the Steam controller. Not sure if it’d work with a tablet but it works almost perfectly. The only issue I have is with steering the tank.

A LOT of people will say it’s not possible with a controller.

They’re not supposed to be reachable. But there’s a slight adjustment needed to reach them for sure.

The outer thumbs work great for things like shift and delete. My right outer thumb is right shift. When I need to shift something on my left side, my right hand is always free to make that slight adjustment. It feels much better than having put all that on my weakest finger, the pinky.

The outer outer keys are absolutely not meant to be reachable. They’re macro keys for me (global microphone mute switch).

New comment by commanderkeen08 in "React Table is a “headless” UI library"

commanderkeen08 — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 02:24:36 +0000

Can’t agree more. We were using vue-tables-2, which got the job done, but the maintainer went MIA for a few months (he did just recently push a new update).

Ag Grid is INSANE. The client side version churns through our entire set like butter.

Even if it weren’t, I was prepared to dive into the graphQL implementation but haven’t needed to.

The only negative I have is the bloat. But I’m p sure v22 solves that by letting you load on demand vs the whole thing.

I can’t imagine ever using datatables again or having to make a server call to sort or filter.
