Too many tools, too much glue.
Stack Overflow 2024: ~33% of pro devs frustrated by stack complexity; 22.8% by the number of tools.

I wrote about Motia — a “step” toward unifying the backend stack:

Motia: make backend development boring (and that's the point) Most teams stick to the backend framework they already know — until scaling pain hits. I’ll show you Motia patterns that save your future self (you’ll sleep better).

If you could delete one piece of your backend glue stack (queues? cron? orchestration? realtime?), what would it be?

I wrote about Motia — a "step" into unifying the stack, bundles: api + jobs + workflows + events + shared state + streaming.

there is unfathomable loathing when you review AI-generated code

yea, it could be very fast, "give me code from pre-training data" lol

wondering if ai could help with that "create snippet from package-xyz with that functionality and copy it to my project" seems like a cool idea

this, but only if you use code instead of links - it's easier to open e-mail app on mobile and type code, you can give someone code so they can log in

Also, the underrated function of magic links - you don't need to "confirm" e-mails in another flow in your app

Isn't popover prop solve this now?

In future there will consulting focused on fixing vibecoded project. Making sure they doesn't leak envs, haven't security holes and are ready to be released

I think Apple underestimated how much effort is to make reliable, unharm AI, not mentioning about to be helpful.
Also, Siri in polish still waiting

Was thinking about making something like this but for saas. Like this project is created by "12 projects in 12 months" and could not work in a 2 months

AI coding agents won’t tell me I’m wrong—they just push broken solutions instead

anyone know why they are leading in coding (I hear that at least in my buble)

I love that you can use the react-query package directly, but I will have to get used to `queryOptions` thing

modern css looks so cool, hope for fast support on all platforms 🙏

Wow, define vars seems really cool for saas whitelabel experience. Did you have any examples on such usecase?

Is this still a goal for Preact to be 1-1 compatible with React? Or do you see a different path forward?

I know there were techniques (maybe still are) when you switch to Preact in the prod bundle to save some KB. Wonder if there is a way to distinguish between that and the full Preact codebase. I would be helpful to know how this trick works in the wild

Better Auth The most comprehensive authentication library for TypeScript.

www.better-auth.com seems cool and well-thought-out. Has anyone tried it already?

Lots of people don’t know that you can sign up to @typefully.com for free, and cross-post to X and Bluesky.

Can you RT this?

I’d love if more people I follow on X started posting here too 💙

React-router v7 + @vite.dev could be the most serious alternative to @nextjs.org

This must be the sign lol

Okay, this depends on the job, but when I started in dev, I tried to follow this advice, and it didn’t turn out to be the best use of my time.

I'm shocked at how much better the feed here is filled with posts I actually care about.
I find myself stopping to scroll on almost every post just to check out the comments or threads. On X, it's always like you have to scroll for 30 seconds, and even then, it’s always some engagement bait.

I always have it the other way around - I like something initially, but then I change my mind when things start going in the wrong direction for me

This is cool for sure, but when you are looking for a job, you are applying to many companies. You need to spend many hours on each cover letter – research the company, write it, read it, make changes.
And when you do not get any answer, this hurts 10x. It's hard to get involved and get rejected
