Or would it work with @convex.dev (and other sync engine tools) for more efficient syncing of local data?

Exploring the TanStack DB docs, @tanstack.com is this an alternative to @convex.dev? πŸ€”

Example: my mother worked in healthcare doing home visits as recently as 5 years ago (since retired). She shared a desktop computer with 3 other coworkers, used paper charts and fax machines, and was given a flip phone for comms while out on visits. Many people still work like this in 2025!

These problems are everywhere, but as tech professionals, we’re often too isolated from other professions that it’s tough to identify them.

For about two decades, if your idea didn’t involve β€œdisrupting” an entire market, it wasn’t worth investment. This has created a huge gap in the market where we still have a lot of unsolved problems simply because there’s a limited (but still profitable) market.

There’s also another problem though trying to emulate these successes. For a long time, venture capital has been focused on finding the next unicorn, which has led to a lot of money being pumped into moonshot ideas to make $10B+ and dismissing ideas that might top out at a few million.

This is such a great opportunity though, and the unicorns we all know are typically startups who have taken a confident step outside of the tech echo chamber and solved problems outside of tech: Uber, AirBnB, DoorDash, Spotify, Zillow, to name a few.

I often wonder about the bias of tech entrepreneurs towards only solving problems in tech. There’s such an over-saturation of companies building CMSs, productivity apps, DB-as-service, auth-as-service, etc. meanwhile it’s rare to find great software products for customers outside of tech.

We'll have to keep spreading the good word of Gleam then until we reach critical mass for a socks order! πŸ˜„ 🌟 🧦

Gleam sponsorship has dropped in the last 2 months.
We are free of any corporate control, but this means sponsorship is vital to pay the core team!

Please consider sponsoring Gleam, or any of the maintainers. Just a few dollars a month makes a difference.

Found my Gatsby socks in the back of my closet yesterday. What ever happened to tech companies making socks??

I need whimsical tech socks for modern tools! I’m very out of fashion right now.

Also there are some great concepts I've learned from Go, like returning errors instead of throwing is something I wish more languages did.

This might be kind of dumb but code aesthetics. A few things that annoy me: the convention of abbreviating variable names, the lack of parens around conditionals `if condition { ... }`, Go templates.

I'm learning it primarily for work, but I know it's also good for career progression

This is exactly the content I need right now, thank you!

Currently (begrudgingly) learning Go.

Yeah, I remember when I first started web dev (~2011), Bootstrap was all the rage. I think TW does a better job at exposing customizability, but it's not perfect. The 5% of cases where I bump up against the limits of TW and have to write some raw CSS are frustrating for maintaining consistency.

As a tailwind hater, the biggest thing pushing me towards using @tailwindcss.com is how well AI agents are trained on it.

It’s allowed me to do so many refactors on a massive spaghetti code frontend that wouldn’t have been worth my time otherwise.

Are you trying to sort by just the name? I think the file extensions and dots are the problem.

Lint rules have helped a lot here. A problem I see now though is some people will assume the tools are doing all the a11y work for them and only implement what's lintable (which isn't much).

How regularly do you contemplate leaving the tech industry and living in the woods like a hermit?

For me it's about once a year. I feel like that's a healthy amount. πŸ™‚
