The Triptych Project is a fantastic endeavor and we as a community should be fully supporting it. There's literally no downside; it only benefits. We can debate about whether Cancel should be a button or a link but please people don't throw shade at the idea of adding completeness to HTML.

v4 is in beta and the source has some skills files. And for me personally I'm slowly building my own rules, like not having dialogs live hidden in the main page; instead, every button that triggers a dialog should do so via an htmx call that returns a dialog and appends it to the body. And then setting rules for how Claude should write templates, leveraging Django's new partialdef feature.

I can describe private efforts about a couple recent projects that made me finally believe that Claude Code can actually be a 10x multiplier on certain work.

We decided to integrate our SaaS into Microsoft Business Central and NetSuite as plugins into those systems. BC has its own programming language, called AL, that has a lot of idiosyncrasies from any other language I've worked with. And NetSuite plugins are written in SuiteScript, which is a custom JS runtime with a ton of APIs to learn.

In the "before", it would've taken 5 developers a year or more to build those integrations. I did both by myself in well under a year. Thank you Claude.

Like what? And are you trying to say they're not harmful? I'd love to hear your reasoning. For me, 10 seconds of googling shows verifiably true claims of data centers having all sorts of negative impacts.

Datacenters have evolved into this gigantic nuisance that are sucking up a town's water and electricity, emitting a ton of pollution, causing people's utility bills to skyrocket, and all sorts of other problems. I don't think people who are against this issue are "bootlickers". More like people who have at least a shred of empathy.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Tailwind? The way it totally pollutes your html makes it seem like, while the benefits are impressive, they're not worth the collateral damage.

I was in the very first cohort of this program. I loved it but had to drop for personal/family reasons after finishing three courses. Someday I'd love to jump back in! I highly recommend it to anyone who might be interested.

No one has mentioned it: mobile! Mobile apps became a thing, and there was a strong argument to have one common backend for your web app and your iOS app and your Android app. Plus the mobile UX (especially with iOS apps at the time) was such a gamechanger that there was a natural shift to replicate it in the browser.

That said, even though I still build SPAs at work, but I can't wait for the day that I get to build something big with Django & htmx.
