Opened cursor. First thing I tried: Spent 10 minutes trying to get it to understand what was happening and fix - no dice. Task was based on understanding that a markdown file was being converted to html, and writing a few lines of js to enhance it
Will keep playing around

@harrybrundage Refactoring’s one I didn’t consider. I can somewhat empathise with that but I’d say the times I’ve felt that are maybe a couple times a year, not something that’s ever been acute enough that I’ve gone looking for a solution

The idea that static typing is what makes the difference between solid software and buggy software baffles me. It prevents a very specific kind of bug, which happens (on our teams at least) quite rarely.
What am I missing?

If you're genuinely interested in being on the cutting edge and pushing the web forward - this is the kind of stuff you should be nerding out about and following - this is what gets us maintainable, usable, future proof web software. Not the latest react library that replaces it and is out of date in a few months

My impression is Rails & Laravel are the most productive full stack, solo-dev frameworks out there, and that Laravel is much farther ahead from an ecosystem/batteries included perspective.
Ruby is just a much nicer language (in my subjective opinion) than php

@atthatmatt Yeah, couple of reasons
- "A crud app" is 3 syllables - people don't use terms in sentences that feel clunky.
- "Crud" as a term means nothing to non-tech people, so every time you use it you have to follow it up with "CRUD means create, read, update, delete..."

Thought about this more and I'm really liking "Boxware"
- Easy to remember
- Conveys practicality (like a box)
- Discourages over complication ("You're building boxware, you don't need {X complex thing}")
- Conveys storing stuff (like an actual box)
- Most UIs are just boxes (form inputs) inside boxes (sections)

The average AI founder seems to have thought very little about the implications of their beliefs. Good example here
Them: “AIs will be sentient soon”
Me: “Gotcha, so probably best not to commercialise them, cos that’d be like slavery right?”

Discovered this by accident recently: Best noise cancelling for working from noisy cafés: Play music through normal in ear earphones, wear Noise Cancelling over-ear headphones *on top of them*. Sound quality not amazing but I'm getting zero leakage in my local coffee shop which is pretty noisy - much better than the noise cancelling headphones on their own - so good for focus.

This is why I think the only long term defence against disinformation will have to be *individual* education, as opposed to trying to censor it on the platforms - that’ll work short term, but at some point for democracy to work well the people who vote will need to be able to navigate their own way to the truth, or at least away from pure fabrication

My issue with payments companies (including @stripe) is this exactly. The thinking seems to be “we wired together a dysfunctional system, therefore we deserve a percentage of all transactions” even though today there are systems to transfer value much much cheaper, and one of the things preventing their adoption is the preservation of the old system by the payments companies who built an empire around them.

My biggest pet peeve now that most other productivity problems have been solved
- Most day-to-day computer work happens across about 2 dozen SaaS apps
- Have to constantly re-log-in to most of them - 2fa flows etc.
- Many are slow.
- Often you need to be logged in to 2 accounts at once.
Result: Just getting basic tasks done each day can feel like a slog
Strikes me that having custom frontends at the OS level could alleviate this somewhat - let the providers expose the API and let the OS handle the UI, which would like be some form of tables with filters and actions.
Wouldn't work with creative tools but would handle most crudware.

Announcement: Today we're launching Really Good Software - the first software agency built for the future, that acknowledges....
1) Individual developers augmented with AI will increasingly surpass the capabilities of entire teams, and...
2) In the new world, the dominant Software Agency pricing model (charging for bums on seats and hours worked) will need a significant rethink.
Our answer is an incredibly-priced monthly subscription that gives you all of the ingredients needed to ship great software.

Worst parts of using @heroku :
- Sporadic, but time consuming manual upgrades when you run a lot of apps (upgrading DB, stack, plugins).
- Overpriced "Add Ons" which cause cost to balloon
- Finding the right specs that cover throughput during high-traffic periods without spending too much on a monthly basis.
We've recently found a nice middle ground - using RDS for database, upstash for redis, and letting heroku run the web app & workers - now we can scale compute very easily and one-click resize the database when it starts to struggle.

Mini Announcement
For the past 2 years we've been building a software agency called Tonic. In the next week, we're going to be launching our Productised Offering - Really Good Software.
The ultimate goal with Really Good Software is to become the obvious answer when someone asks "Do you know of any good freelancers or agencies?". To unlock that we'll have public, transparent pricing, and (soon) a lot of public content - both on the work we're doing, and on our approach.
I've been obsessed with the idea of Building Good Software Affordably since I began building teams over a decade ago. Silicon Valley engineering culture has convinced us that quality is unavoidably expensive, and I would like to show people that with the right approach, it's really not.

There is a third option here. If you combine React Native Stacker and React Native Webview, you can build your app with no turbo, just 100% normal links and forms, and have it feel as smooth as the amazon shopping app (which is also hybrid).

Not to dunk but to provide an alternative perspective. Every single Neo bank is horrendous when you want to do anything slightly atypical, including @RevolutApp. As an example of something atypical - sending payments from an EU country to contractors in the Philippines.

There are Hypertexters and Javascripters.
Both talk a lot about why their way is objectively better, but in reality neither chose their approach for its merits. It was always about personal taste.
Hypertexters prefer writing html, Javascripters prefer writing javascript.

I think @t3dotgg is mostly bad faith, but there is a pretty important point here. The html-over-js-brigade (of which I'm a part) should have better responses and resources to point to when jankiness is raised.
In my experience It's 100% possible to make server-rendered apps that *feel* as good/fast as SPAs. But it does require much more intentionality than is involved if you take a declarative js library off the shelf.

A few weeks ago @RevolutApp started bouncing every payment to our Filipino team, who we’d been paying for months, and blamed it on “an issue on the other side” with no other explanation and no recourse. How can there be so little accountability for something so important 🤯

We need more of these kinds of founders - authentic, thoughtful, genuinely mission driven.

The secret to getting a payment provider to provide you with basic communication/support: Have your complaint post get nearly a million impressions. Easy! https://t.co/EDolCHbZCZ

I get annoyed when people imply technology can *only* get better. The fact that no individual or business can have any degree of trust that they can send & receive payments without service interruption, in 2024, is a great example. These companies are too big to provide support, and yet everyone relies on them.
