its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time about things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Best thing I’ve read recently.

Very happy to have made an strong bet on sync engines over RSC to address most of the motivating problems. Apps like Linear have proven it’s the way to go.

Impressive technology indeed but there is a *huge* difference between extrapolating existing art/design from one form to another and creating new source material.

TLDR: Learn how to *program*, not how to code. The catch-22 (at least for now) is that the best way to learn programming is to learn it via code.

There's never been a better time to be curious.

Sometimes I wonder if there are really only two frontend architectures: 1. No frontend rendering, no JavaScript. Just HTML the and browser (not even htmx sorry) 2. 100% frontend rendering + background sync Everything else feels fraught with compounding complexity

"I ain't reading all that..." auto-suggest edition.

I really miss .swf (shockwave flash) as a format. Literally a chain of bezier paths. Scale to any resolution. Oh, and it loads progressively with its own virtual machine (ActionScript Bytecode). No modern filetype comes close. Vector video was a special era.

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.
