Enshittification seems inescapable because it begins with establishing a monopoly. By the time you realize what's happening, there's no alternative to run to. Don't allow platforms to make you dependent on them. Be prepared to ditch them as soon as you can't see the upside anymore.

I hate this so much! I'm glad to see that others feel the same way. The auto dubs in particular revealed a new level of awful that I didn't think was possible. I also get frustrated by Amazon's forced translations of product title and description.

De nombreux facteurs sont à prendre en compte pour comparer les frameworks web entre eux. La popularité n'est qu'un critère parmi tant d'autres. Mais quand on a déjà une réponse en tête, on a tendance à ne retenir que le critère qui nous donne raison et à ignorer tous les autres.

But haven't you heard that AI will replace every job on earth except for CEO? A CEO said so.

Vercel is just a wrapper for AWS. Where is Europe's AWS?

Will this give outsiders further reason to think we're a cult? Probably.
Will I be using it? Absolutely.

I think when there are so many prerequisites for making AI not shit (proper IDE, proper AI model, llms.txt file, detailed and carefully worded prompts, code reviews, etc.), maybe it's reasonable to challenge the assumption that it wouldn't be faster to simply write the code yourself.

Why is "Oh, you think X is bad? But you're doing X!" an accepted way of refuting an argument? It doesn't refute anything; it only shows that the person is a hypocrite. If that's what you wanted to do, congratulations. But where's the counterargument?

Looks delicious as hell. What framework did you use?

Whenever someone uses that argument, ask them:
- Have they actually tried building something?
- If so, did development actually suffer from not being able to use a certain package?
- If so, which package?
If they cannot answer these questions in good faith, the argument is invalid.

This looks really promising, great job so far! I'm curious though, what about Svelte Native? What made you and the team decide not to pick it back up and go with Lynx instead?

Non-technical people:
"AI, make me a button."
*Button appears on screen*
"Whoa! Developers are cooked!"

I guess that's debatable, but I don't think Tailwind is an abstraction of CSS since knowledge of CSS is necessary for proper use. If anything, it's a low-level abstraction.
Regardless, it's kind of wild seeing it mentioned alongside website builders as if they're comparable.

That aside, I agree.

"Choose the right tool for the job," they say, as they proceed to use React for everything.

Yeah, that's a good point. Keeping things simple can be a complex process, ironically.

I'm torn because, on the one hand, I agree with you: The world is complex, and those who try to force simple answers onto complex questions are fooling themselves and others.
On the other hand, I reject complexity in software and I'm convinced that it doesn't have to be this way, 99% of the time.

"seems", "feels"... quite the vibe-driven post from you, ironically. Are you sure you don't want to join our cult?

So now all of a sudden, the "right tool for the job" is simply the one around which AI hallucinates the least?

The idea that engineers need to adapt to AI and not the other way around is pretty wild, in my opinion.
