A misspelling of "copy-on-write".

Because despite what the tagline says it's not a package manager, but a project manager.

And yet you claim that you have a "deep understanding" of how React works. Why did you ask an idiotic LLM then? Doing it yourself would have allowed you to be even more dishonest with your examples... :>

The author of this article and framework either doesn't have the slightest beginning of a clue how React works or is just being extremely dishonest. I'm all for alternative and new ideas, but this is not it and the way it is presented is just plain wrong.

Hard pass.

I fully support artists to decide what they want to do with their music, but artists who sign contracts with labels and music companies do give up their rights, like it or not, that's how it works. And yes, Spotify enforces contracts and geographical licensing deals that dumbfuck lawyers invent because reasons. What would you want them to do, break IP laws?

There's absolutely no way in hell I'm going back to hoarding stupid ass CDs or MP3/FLAC files when I can legally have immediate access to tens of millions of titles. I have absolutely zero interest in the "owning" part but I understand some people would prefer it.

Yes it is. If it's not available for you then blame the fucktard lawyers who made the call that it should not be available wherever you are for some dumbfuck reason. Spotify is not responsible for this, they just comply with the aforementioned fucktard lawyers.

That's what TFA is complaining about: size. But nice pivot, hope your head isn't spinning too much.

Tell me you haven't been paying attention to what's going on in Trumpistan without telling me you haven't been paying attention to what's going on in Trumpistan.

Unbelievable.

I don't have "JavaScript fatigue", what I do have is "JavaScript is a dumpster fire and React is the spawn of Satan" daily blog post fatigue.

JFC.

My NodeJS apps from 2014 still work exactly as they did on day one as well, what's your fucking point?

Xcode has been slow, messy, buggy and all around atrocious to use since day one. Being forced to migrate from MPW and Code Warrior to this utter piece of garbage has actually pushed me to web development.

> Kitty is cross platform

In the absolute lowest sense possible, which means that it's been compiled for different platforms and it runs on different platforms, but it also looks and feels completely alien on anything else than a Linux machine with a tiling window manager.

That you can use without having 4 PhDs. It's pretty good. You should try it sometime when your done fully ingesting algebraic topology theory or whatever the fuck Nix requires to know just to install figlet.

Overriding standard language constructs with magic behaviors is a giant no-no and a recipe for disaster.

> having worked with both more or less equally, I'd choose Vue 10/10 times over React

I have the exact opposite experience, I find Vue hilariously bad to the point of being repulsive. Now what?

New comment by lucsky in "If not React, then what?"

lucsky — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 01:33:25 +0000

Right, and people would obviously love those same apps if they were written with Vue instead. Of course.

Again, you can still use class components today, feel free and have fun.

1. Nobody said that classes are bad. Yes you can encapsulate logic and state in a singleton, that's not the issue, the issue is how you then "apply" it. There was a fantastic diagram that (most likely) Dan Abramov posted on Twitter a while ago (before it became the olympic pool of diarrhea that it is today) that was demonstrating the superiority of hooks in a beautiful and obvious way but I cannot find it anymore... :/

2. Sorry but if you keep using "weird", "hard" and "complicated" adjectives to define something that is quite honestly not so hard to grasp you make it hard to not go with "skill issues".

So he's basically publishing a 20 pages philosophical logorrhea to make the simple point that developers should pay more attention to the difference between a web SITE and a web APP and choose their stack accordingly, which is a totally fair point to which I 100% agree with.

What I fail to see is how React is responsible for any of this because this sort of reads like his wife left him for one of the React engineer or some shit.
