Apr 19 @mitsuhiko @getsentry Thanks! Also seems to have reverted back again to thinking we don't have a plan when we do 🙃 https://t.co/FWJGwhVZ4x 0 0 0 0 138 .
Apr 19 @getsentry your product is awesome but first-run experience is bad. Just wasted half an hour trying to get Slack set up - first issue: Upgraded the plan but the app still didn't seem to be aware of the upgrade. Second issue: Getting this cryptic message when trying to set it up,… https://t.co/70NbPM7wUM 1 0 0 0 304 .
Apr 18 @ToKTeacher I think you have the psychology wrong on this. Most people who have these interests do so not out of excitement, but because they want to understand and accept the reality *despite* how it makes them feel. I happen to think, as you do, that they’ve reached the wrong… 0 0 0 0 281 .

Apr 17 @destraynor I feel you guys are leaning into this trope in a way that comes off as needlessly us-vs-them. It can be true that building is hard and should be lauded, and people get bad reviews for missing the mark. Labeling people with reasonable critique “haters” doesn’t feel very intercom-y 12 0 0 0 292 .

Apr 15 @dvassallo @syg1ll I can see why you’d come to that conclusion if you’re assuming he’s using the video title for more likes - like most other YouTubers. Having watched a lot of this stuff I don’t think that’s how he operates, which ironically is why he has the trust and power he does. 15 0 0 0 285 .
Apr 15 @joeldrapper Ouch! Personally find raw html with a little bit of erb to be the clearest, most maintainable way to do it. Although I'd agree when it comes to Rails frontend stuff e.g. <%= turbo_frame_tag %> Also agree that I'm in a minority and you're probably right that many prefer react 2 0 0 0 295 .

Apr 13 @joshmanders Took me 10 years to realize this, then a few weeks to learn the basics.

I'm paying €6/month for a server with… 0 0 0 0 291 .
Apr 11 @KenjiCapital Nice! Assuming by your answer there's no website/online venue that just lists different kinds of properties that you can browse through? E.g. what @faborio just launched with https://t.co/cOlzonmtCw ? 2 0 0 0 215 .

Apr 10 @jakobgreenfeld I feel I have more experience than most with this - we worked with an agency to build a more targeted offer for outbound.

Mar 27 @darraghcurran Yeah, I feel at some point it’ll get there. I do think the damage being done by being incorrect-but-certain is probably being under estimated.

Mar 27 @darraghcurran In that example the answer was completely wrong, it lead to an article about getting a pin from your POS system - nothing to do with admin API keys.

Mar 27 @dr For sheer cost, cheapest is @ContaboCom followed by @Hetzner_Online If you'll want to do more than one, spend half an hour and self install pgAdmin on one of their €6/month instances = unlimited free databases https://t.co/LZqY9hkJGU 3 0 0 0 240 .

Mar 07 I know I'm in the minority but I agree with @thekitze. The problem IMO is that all these conversations are being had about *minor* improvements in capability. The "vanilla" web gives us an 8/10, then "their solution is an 8.2, but *mine's* an 8.3!". Meanwhile it's the web platform doing the actual heavy lifting. 1 0 0 389 314 .

Mar 06 Noticed this. I (currently) really don't like it - I follow people in the web dev space - I want to see their ideas when they post, and I'm guessing those who follow me want to see mine. Currently if I don't find an "angle" that appeals to a broader base, that doesn't happen 🤷‍♂️ 1 0 0 335 280 .
Mar 06 Currently chasing a payment to a contractor through Revolut. Revolut considers it sent, but the receiving bank won't credit it because the name doesn't match the account exactly (despite already accepting 2 payments with identical name). In 2024. Duct tape. 0 0 0 369 257 .
Mar 05 Analogizing human self-awareness (having recursive conversations with ourselves), wouldn't a good test be to give it some kind of "kick off" prompt and access to an OS, where it can decide to call itself, and see if it does so (and observe the conversations it has)? 1 0 0 333 266 .

Feb 27 @johnlpollard @Intrepidd @rails @dhh Sorry just realized it wasn't mentioned in this part of the replies but my personal go-to for this is htmx. We only use 5 of the attributes the library gives, which are just more succinct ways to do an async fetch, so there's very little learning curve. 0 0 0 0 290 .

Feb 27 @Intrepidd @rails @dhh Would argue it's higher than 5%, but still that's kind of my point. If the thing you're using it for is remote partial replacement, there are much better options out there that are both conceptually simpler and better documented than Turbo 0 0 0 0 262 .

Feb 22 @dabit3 I’m not a beginner. Your tweet said “you can now build mobile apps with html”, but the video didn’t show html, so I was clarifying whether you could build the apps with actual html, vs html in react as you’ve demoed 3 0 0 0 223 .

Feb 18 I really hate to say it, but tailwind is a prime example of this. 90%+ of apps need a simple, constrained set of SPCs to prevent cascade collisions on teams of more than one. This stuff is very cool, but totally unnecessary for most applications. https://t.co/Aj92K9Wwt4 1 0 1 356 272 .
