Love the man.
Don't even know if I should build some LLM-powered tools to fight back magic with magic, or if I should just quit altogether.
Agents create the illusion that you can accomplish complicated work with simple prompts, and people become less appreciative of the hard work behind the scenes.
That fact that I have to send emails to customer support multiple days in a row, in hopes to get an answer. Makes it 100% sure, that I wont be spending money on your shop again.
One thing I absolutely hate as a customer, is floating money for something that I buy.
If you list your product as in stock. And I buy it, and you realise it is not instock. (happens, its normal). Give me the option to cancel my order. Do not hold my money, especially when the wait time is months.

I posted this 7 months ago about my led lights. Not everything needs to be online. The recent AWS f*ckery is a big exclamation on that.
Somehow in 2025 making a case for performant software amongst professionals is an uphill battle.
Why do you want to build your design system around React? what is wrong with css?

I share the sentiment, it has its place as a tool. AI sucked the joy out of development. It actually made it miserable for me to work with people that use it, because they rely so much on it. To the point that they wont write a simple funtion, when we are debugging.
Congratz!
extend that to South EU as well.
Last week I praised EU regulation for their consumer protection laws.
This week I am critising it for the idiocy that is tariffs. How on earth does von der leyen and her group decide about trade tariffs that affect ALL european countries in a single meeting.
Since when it is reasonable to provide a only a single year of warrantly for an item that costs 2k euros?
In the majority of eastern europe that is 2.5 times the median salary. And on the undeveloped world, that might be years of earnings.
Companies doing this garbage should be ashamed.
Today my mac broke,99% it is a hardware issue related to a screen cable.
I bought this machine in April last year. By apple's standard it is out of warrantly (1 year). But thanks to EU laws that require companies to provide warrantly for 2 years min I wont pay a thing.
Thank god for EU regulation
@astro.build is there a way to donate, and make sure you folks never end up needing to get bought by vercel?
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
:( :(
Do you have any dates planned in the summer in South Europe?
Pair programming session, the other dev had copilot. I spend 2 hours on what should be 20 mins. Because the other dev kept giving prompts/ writting a few words and expected the AI to generate the function.
Stay away from developers that want to standardise their wrappers around web standards.
Someone I know spend 3 weeks to create a reusable form component around a react library written to wrap forms.
All this because they wanted to pretend that html does not exist.
Agreed, but honestly it is fine, you are not telling lies.. just providing stats... Also dev managers and CTO's is your target audience not devs.
I generally find that it is easier to get people off the react train first rather than hopping in another one.
Just show them the framework benchmarks, and actual SEO and real user data. 9/10 devs I have encountered do not understand how rendering and rerendering works.
This is HUGE: Apple can no longer charge the "Apple Tax" on web transactions.
Epic fought up against this anticompetitive practice; took Apple to court and scored a clear and decisive victory.
Apple cannot collect a 27% tax on web purchases. Not for Epic, not for others.
I mean, how is lobbying not illegal...
only the ruby devs looked happy and getting shit done in the same time :/
This is the JS ecosystem not just Angular.
You would 100% have this issues with everything else.
Somehow, in 2025 software has gotten so shitty, that we are convinced that the only way to solve the issue is to throw more processing power at it.
