@Kombaico your tool is getting *really* good. If you had
- First class VScode integration like codeparrot
- Support for Static Tailwind (basically "don't use square bracket classes")
It would reach the threshold for me/my team - would be transformational. Any chance of either of…

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.

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 🤷♂️

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.

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)?

This is why I don’t recommend using Hotwire or Turbo with @rails unless you really need real-time, web socket enabled features. People (including @dhh) talk a lot about how awesome it is, but the reality is that the supporting material just isn’t there - and the people who made it don’t seem to care too much about documentation etc. so getting it in use on a team has much more friction than say, just using @htmx_org.

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.

This is true of every framework. There's a misdirected obsession with the idea that the *framework* needs to be constantly improved. Frameworks should add the *abstractions* that are missing in current web standards, and their only major improvements should be (gracefully) removing those abstractions as it becomes possible to do those things natively

Another bad faith argument from @cramforce that there's no way to keep a chat app serving ~500 users moderately reliable for less than $90k/year because you have to have a person on call to fix it if it goes down.
The main reason Slack needs people on-call is that they serve the same product to 30 million users. They've had 8 outages in the last 12 months - that's *super* impressive at that scale, but even so, much less reliable than the 6 apps I've been hosting on Cloudron for the last 18 months with zero downtime.
For the "Clearly he's never done this in real life" crowd
- Updates: Handled 100% by Cloudron - all apps are auto updated with new releases.
- Dodgy Deploys: We had one for Gitlab - there was an answer on the forum which required rolling back a version - took me 15 minutes & about 2 hours downtime (still less than Slack in the last year). And I wasn't "on call".
- Backups: Set up in 15 minutes and about 20 clicks with Snapshooter
- Resource Issues: Cloudron tells us when resources are getting low (there's 6 apps on a single VM). It's one click to resize the server with our host.
- Storage Issues: It's €14/month for 300GB of storage with our host - even at 500 users your chat database is not growing beyond that for *years*, and when it does, again it's one click to resize.
What am I missing here? *Why* would you need someone on call for this?

A lot of talk about the countdown until all jobs are taken over by AI - I'm looking for a subscription-accountant service at the minute, and all I want is a fixed monthly price to be able to talk to a real human. Any mention of "AI powered advice" is a no straight away, because I need to trust that there's someone who has/feels accountability if things go wrong.
Maybe I'm shortsighted but I can't see that preference changing much (for me, or others) in the short term, no matter how good the answers get.

@jmlacroix This particular app just didn't need websockets for the functionality - at the time the calculus was "Oh this will be make the product a tiny bit better and will be quick to do so zero cost". In hindsight there was a cost in maintenance and additionally complexity for deployment.

Working on several migration projects this week for hobby and client projects and thinking about the idea of codebase Durability.
Some Takeaways
When you've been around for a while and worked on web app codebases that are 10+ years old, you notice how little the product fundamentals have changed in that time (we're still using html to draw rectangles and put data in them from a database, which is likely to still be the case for decades to come). Yet when we see a Github repo which was last updated more than 2 years ago, most of us think of it as "out of date/obsolete".
Theoretically, the most durable (future proof) possible codebase is one that only relies only on functionality and concepts that browsers natively support (html, css, js). Every new library added on top carries a maintenance burden as new concepts and trends come and go, which happens every 3 to 5 years. (This isn't really possible today IMO as browsers aren't there yet).
The codebases with lots of named libraries and concepts are obviously the least durable. (Some of the things we're removing or replacing this week: Turbolinks, ActionCable, Tachyons, Semantic UI, Webpacker.)
It feels like in the industry there's this idea that everything's a cycle and that we're perpetually looping and not progressing, but in reality browser standards are incrementally improving to support more things, and at some point we won't need to layer frameworks and libraries on top.
The ultimate goal is getting to codebases that are durable-by-default - that require zero new libraries/concepts to be added but still have fast, polished, maintainable web apps. That can be left operating, code untouched for 5, 10 years, but if/when changes need to made they can be operated on with zero friction.
When it comes to libraries, there's not yet any way to avoid them entirely - we still need them to patch things the browser can't do natively. But we should choose libraries that are 1. Likely to still be around in 10+ years, and 2. Not likely to introduce any new concepts/breaking updates in that time.

The "Hiring Pool" concern doesn't get enough airtime in my opinion. It's the number 1 thing that influenced https://t.co/EgIFQGIGpH
If your app is 90% HTML/CSS/JS & you're prudent about adding new concepts to it, your hiring pool can be 100 - 1000x larger.

I agree it’s not as intentional as dhh describes - they’re not looking for complexity specifically. But they are looking for challenge and fun (with little consideration for company value). If you’ve never seen that first hand I’m guessing there’s a selection effect at play.

A lot of people’s opinions/recommendations on what libraries to use or avoid, ultimately come down to “silly” things like this. It’s basically aesthetics/ergonomics but that seems too trivial so we make up deeper, more scientific sounding terms and talk past each other.

This is what we mean when we say “non essential complexity”

The biggest mistake I've seen tech leaders make is being too relaxed about how technologies are chosen in the tech org, and ending up in specialization hell ("Tim is our redux guy, John is our AWS guy") etc. If you want to keep a handle on costs, you *have* to keep a handle on what you build with.
Love the terms "Canonicity" and "Avoid non-essential variance" for capturing this. This article is great

This same principle is why my day to day earphones look like this. One item that sits around your neck all the time = basically un-lose-able, whereas AirPods = 3 items to keep track of. https://t.co/IZgH5qP0Ig

To elaborate, there’s four areas where a company like stripe provides value
1. Simplifying interactions with legacy infrastructure
2. Preventing fraud
3. Doing the government’s job (AML, tax collection)
4. Providing great payments-related software (subscriptions, invoices etc)
At the moment there’s huge value in #1 alone, but in a world where it costs a micro-cent to transfer 7 figures from one wallet to another, the idea of charging percentage-based fees for 2,3,4 wont cut the mustard.

I love that Stripe raised the bar for what a developer product should look like. But if we’re being honest there’s no long term business model for payments companies without eventually rent seeking or racing-to-the-bottom on price.

A nice exploration of the sixth html first principle - Stephen goes even deeper than I did, really enjoying these videos.
