i immediately suspected mostly because it seemed like an interesting plot device as well as the obvious thing that character would do in that situation
To give a example, the Dublin market seems to be set up where be devs outnumber the frontenders, the be folks are mostly python and java, they end up in management more often, and are generally universally shocked by all the churn with fe tech. Vite SPA's and query just work by 5pm there.
Most large successful enterprises are now allowing JS on servers at all. They have backends and API written in different languages by different teams. It's ridiculous to think that's going to change any time soon or even that it should.
Full-Stack JS represents such a small part of reality.
System prompt tips: Use the system parameter to set Claude’s role. Put everything else, like task-specific instructions, in the user turn instead.
anthropic has similar instructions for claude but seems like most don’t follow it
oh boy is this topic set to explode my email inbox and social feeds again with alarmist doo doo
curious if u have tried the OpenRouter integration for even more LLM options? github.com/OpenRouterTe...
OMITB is a high bar tho
and i thought prettier’s default formatting of ternaries was 💩
we’re cooked…
same, and i was feeling slightly guilty about it (which is dumb) so thanks for sharing
what is your “poor man’s bookmark” on bsky? i usually just DM it to myself in Slack
recent shows i enjoyed in no particular order:
- The Penguin
- Only Murders in the Building
- What We Do in the Shadows
- Wyatt Earp & the Cowboy War
- Mr. McMahon
Donald Trump absolutely HATES the “President Musk” meme with a passion.
Let’s keep spreading it.
What happened to the world’s largest CRT? @shankmods.bsky.social went on a quest to find the last surviving Sony 43” tube TV, tracked down from one of only two known photos of the 440-pound behemoth.
Happy end of year! Prompt during the holidays with 2M free 🎁 tokens!
this is fun. @bolt.new givin away 2M tokens for end of year. what should i generate?
Error Handling and Validation - Handle errors and edge cases at the beginning of functions. - Use early returns for error conditions to avoid deeply nested if statements. - Use guard clauses to handle preconditions and invalid states early. - Avoid unnecessary else statements; use if-return pattern instead. - Implement proper error logging and user-friendly error messages. - Consider using custom error types or error factories for consistent error handling.
someone asked how i feel about early returns. well, i keep this in my copilot-instructions. big fan
i used the trial Cursor plan. CoPilot Edit is comparable for 1/2 price. i disable the CoPilot autocomplete and use free Supermaven instead (much faster). Before CoPilot introduced Edit I was using the Cline extension (formerly Claude Dev) which is also nice, but you need to provide your own API key.
very entertaining!

yes!
good read. i wasn't nearly as repulsed by the original chesky interview, but i did find myself thinking that the proposed CEO involvement in every aspect of everything didn't really seem realistic or even useful in most scenarios.
i ❤️ mechanical pencils. I'm partial to 0.9mm lead.

and don't under estimate the power of a good .cursorrules or copilot-instructions.md file. there a few good directories you can use as a start cursor.directory or cursorlist.com it's so useful to be able to declare your preferred coding style, frameworks/libraries, naming conventions, & other rules
hell it even gets stuff wrong sometimes but there'll be a little useful piece in there like, "oh, i didn't know that method existed. cool, ima use that!"
true, i've had success generating new or boilerplate stuff being vague. what i was describing is more for just being lazy lol. like if i know exactly what needs refactoring but i don't want to actually copy/paste the template, create props, etc etc.
i've also been trying to embrace "learning how to program differently." it's not my first instinct. but i'm starting to enjoy it more. i get best results when i give very specific instructions like "componentize this section of this file, use this library" & then follow up w/ more small iterations.
it's convenient on web apps that don't have a bottom nav, but seems unnecessary on a mobile app with a bottom nav. and i'm more used to it being on the right, but bsky already has another floating add new (primary) button in that space. the secondary floating button on left feels odd.
right, i think it's partially because that's what i'm used to on 🐦, but as everyone else already said, floating scroll to top with notification dots seem like unnecessary clutter
