1. My own manager now gives "expert advice and suggestions" using Claude based on his/her incomplete understanding of the domain.

2. Multiple non-technical people within the company are developing internal software tools to be deployed org wide. Hoping such demos will get them their recognition and incentives that they deserve. Management as expected are impressed and approving such POCs.

3. Hyperactive colleagues showcasing expert looking demos that leadership buys. All the while has zero understanding of what's happening underneath.

I didn't know how to articulate this problem well, but this article does a great job!

1. It makes sense that any language with GC-less memory management will be easier to port to WASM, because in WASM all we have is a linear array of bytes as memory.

2. But then higher languages like Kotlin have a LLVM backend, and then derive WASM binaries from LLVM IR. What makes this possible?

3. Even dynamically typed languages like Python are ported to WASM (I guess they ship the interpreter itself with the binary which will make them heavier) but I'm not sure how is it different from #2 or am I confusing two different routes?

4. What does this even mean - https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc/#gc-proposal-for-webassembly ? "GC proposal for webassembly" - how will it aid in WASM becoming friendlier with higher level languages?

5. What exactly is ahead of time compilation? What relation does it have with WASM?

All this means I have a very shallow understanding of memory management. So feel free to get as technical as possible. Thank you!

I find it has more formatting features than Google Docs. Best of all: no Ads and document reading bullshit.

That's a lot of good news. Yet, I find it unsettling, that there's always going to be a minimal(after compressing/gzipping) amount of repeating code for every component.

>The self-contained nature of Svelte components makes it easier to treat them as atomic downloads and use them as needed. For example, you could get to a working UI extremely fast, and then download more components for below-the-fold or other pages in the background. This could work well with HTTP/2.

This is a huge win though - if I can load the first component extremely fast with no extra code.

#1. One that I am very clear about how to implement. One that I want build, ship and grab users as fast as I can. The real goal of the project is to get it out their in the market and make a tiny dent in the universe ;)

#2. One that I am not very clear about what it's gonna become. This one I want to take it slow. Experiment. Play with tech that I haven't had a chance to flirt with. The goal is to enhance my toolbelt and learn new concepts/tech.

Clearly keeping these projects separate helps me keep things clear. I quickly take decisions and move fast with one. I play and experiment a lot, no matter what the outcome is, with the other one.

The traffic spike, remained a spike and didn't continue long. But it gained a few regular users. I run my own blog with HexoPress (http://hexopress.com).

And the code is open-source!

What simple service would you pay $10/month for? #JustCurious

Must be because I have a strong python background, but generally I find "self" makes more sense than a wild "that"!

Is it? I think there's a way to get around that, if the protocol defines standards for verbs.

Of course, it's difficult and can grow wild, yet very much possible.

Nope, I haven't started concentrating on making it all that customizable, except for a few basics. It's in the roadmap.

Zoho Writer, is one such word processor which has managed to retain a distraction free writing canvas, while still packed with features, found in a typical word processor.

When it comes to programming, which developers do you closely follow?

Please include blog/website/github links.

A couple of my favourites:

[TJ Holowaychuk](https://github.com/tj) - because he's a wizard. The number of premium open source projects he's been a part of, is just astounding.

[Dan Abramov](https://github.com/gaearon) - First hit on his redux talk, then drifted to his blog posts. I like his clarity of expressing the why's and how's.

Can you elaborate on that one? Sounds interesting to me.
