Does anyone use any good alternatives to GitHub Actions?

I'm not sure "building a web browser" is such a great test for an LLM. It helps confirm that they can handle large codebases. But the actual logic in the browser engine will be based very heavily on Chromium/Firefox etc.

Agreed! I assume the reason for the forgetting of the features is that at least some were poorly supported when first released so developers create workarounds that then become the de facto standard.

It has been amazing to see the speed up in release and support of new CSS features over the last couple of years! Even the masonry layout has finally reached an experimental stage

Could you share the actual examples of where you’re seeing the 3x output increase?

As a fullstack web engineer I've never had to implement a tree structure at work. I'd love to hear examples of what kinds of companies/platforms people are writing these structures regularly. If anyone is willing to share where they use them I'd appreciate it

Agreed, this is probably the most gripping non-fiction I've ever read

New comment by danieloj in "Why aren't we all serverless yet?"

danieloj — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 14:16:07 +0000

I still find the DevEx of serverless terrible compared to the well-established monolith frameworks available to us.

The YAML config, IAM permissions, generating requests and responses, it's all so painful to get anything done.

Admittedly I speak as a software engineer primarily building CRUD apps, where frameworks have had decades of development. I can see use cases for event-driven applications where serverless may make life easier. But for CRUD, currently no chance.

There are interesting positive/negative (it hasn’t been researched enough yet) side effects on the effects this has in raising the pH of the ocean, potentially reversing ocean acidification

danieloj — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 12:51:45 +0000

Finding a reason to regularly meet up. It takes away the mental load of having to arrange a time to meet up. Do X with someone weekly/monthly and you’ll become friends if you get on.

This Changes Everything - Naomi Klein.

This was a good alternative view to how we were taught the world was “meant” to be run

Ha I’ve considered that. I think I’d like a job that is directly connected to the physical environment rather than me just being in that environment (i.e I want to see my code change something in front of me)

Funnily enough my current company has a big IoT network and I was hoping this would mean I would get to travel to the installation sites but the tooling is so good everything can be done remotely! I imagine other companies must have more people on site though

That’s interesting. Maybe some systems are so remote they might need full time software engs nearby. Although I probably wouldn’t want to live that remotely
