The Useless useCallback Why most memoization is downright useless...

📚 Whenever I see useCallback, I wonder: why do we need it here? And a lot of the times, when I look deeper, I see that it actually doesn’t do anything. I think a lot of code-bases would be better of just not memoizing at all - and then let the compiler do it for you:

Setting up a brand new app is both so exciting and taxing. 🥵

My brain no longer shuts off after work recently. I'm still building, just in my head.

You know what AI can't do? Auth.

It's done.

Happy Birthday! Oh man.

How it feels to ask for approvals on your PR

Thanks! What's sold you on it?

Thanks a lot!

With the accessibility, would you still consider integration tests with react testing library a good path to go or should I look into the browser testing?

Thanks! What's sold you on it?

Hey Friends 👋

Looking for advice, small project, React SPA, we want to focus on integration test with some unit tests:

OpenSpace

Today, I've joined OpenSpace as a Senior Front-End Software Engineer to build a platform with a complete visual record of construction projects, powered by AI.

Excited about what's ahead! 🎉

Thank you! 🙌

Yes, I worked on an AI sidebar, thanks for asking.

New contract signed. Bio update on Monday. 👀

Not yet. When I was starting working on my page, astro@5 was already out there—I'm currently on v5.1.7. 👌

But I'll keep this in mind, it's good to know. One of the reasons I migrated was I couldn't get my previous Gatsby page up and running locally. 🤦

Cursor background agents in Slack changed my workflow | Swizec Teller a couple weeks ago Cursor launched a Slack integration and ... wow. First time I can say AI *changed* my workflow

Also, this: swizec.com/blog/cursor-...

Or both. 😎

Today, added to Munch:

✅ Sort controls for the meals page.
✅ Sort keys: name, updated at, created at.
✅ Type-safe URL support for sort parameters.

True. We extrapolated too hard, the pendulum has swung too far.

But it's pretty much always like that, with any *good* idea.

There's the obligatory background plant - yes, you're doing it right. ✅

I don't like the top-down push either. But I switched to Cursor some time ago personally, haven't looked back. I wished my last company would allow it - they didn't. Not allowed.

Economics aside - right now all of the AI products are banking on exponential growth and massive cost decline.

I'm not that far into it, would love to see that kind of workflow in practice.

For me it's mostly:
- specing larger swaths of code and only refactoring (e.i. faster typing)
- simple but large-scale changes (eq. to codemods)

Still worth it to me.
