This is your periodic reminder to clean your context window. I've had a single chat session going for a week now with all sorts of work happening. Things just get 'weird' after a bit.

Trying to force this data state should only be on the server with server components and server actions is a mistake.

I've been forcing myself to fetch at the route and server render the stuff. Great for abstraction. But at the cost of just get everything! Maybe you need it, maybe you don't.

What's up with the new `taint` api's in React. I heard a bunch about them a while back, everyone was interested, and then gone.

The docs are still there but still only in experimental.

I have an actual use case where it would be nice to add the additional check. Dam API keys.

Why is it as we get older the Drs appts become more... complicated.

In the past 3 years it's either been a 10m check up, nothing to see here. Or a 2h + 6h follow up.

Scambot voice calls are getting better with AI agents. But their models still suck.

I ask "if you are a human say cheetah". They have no idea how to handle that simple query.

Thank you for being a torchbearer on this. It's been a long time coming. I just hope the docs about how to migrate are up to your par of completeness.

I did that migration about 5 years ago to vite and honestly it was easy, less than a day tops to get the build stuff working again.

Cooking with Coordinates Building an app that helps people explore recipes from around the world

And we're back for February. Tuesday Feb 4th at 5:30 at Code Talent, Denver.

Come check out Cooking with Coordinates by @eriklars.bsky.social

I would personally love to see you there

Help getting up, balance etc.

I'm looking at potentially going back home, but with help.

Has anyone does live-in-care or similar? Is there such a thing as a caregiver roommate?

I don't need/want to pay for 24h care. Only a few hours a day, but all as needed?

This is hard.

I'm looking for advice. My mother is 78 and needs, help, not a lot but enough that I can't do it on my own.

I have her in a senior center, but its way too expensive and she's just not getting out what she's putting in.

Honestly she needs easy household stuff and medication reminders.

I would love to know how that goes. I've been unable to sleep without medication for 3 years. Talk about dependency. Love to hear your experience over time

Always a great PR to review.

Complexity: It's Complicated Exploring Complexity in Software Engineering: Beyond Simplicity, Understanding Emergence, Feedback Loops, and Self-Organization in Systems

It's tonight!! reactdenver.com/event/lifest...

Come hang out for the last event of the year. Enjoy some pizza, network with some friends and maybe learn about complexity.

I think the splitting of Chrome from Google will only hurt everyone. Goggle actually saves money here. But the fact that they have pushed so hard on web for so long means that we all won in the end.

If Chrome does get split and sold, who honestly would pick it up and keep it going?

Working title - "How did I get here?" a career focused talk about how I became a JS engineer and the importance of networking.

Find out why LinkedIn isn't the best anymore and why using AI probably isn't the best idea for applying.

I feel like I can write again and have a constructive conversation. Twitter felt/feels like just hot takes. Too much public square and not enough, I care about this.

At the very least I look at this far more than I have twitter in the past many months.

Timing is everything. I had just submitted a talk that was highlighting the importance of personal connections and networking.

I do wish it was easier/ cleaner UX for switching accounts here. I have this personal account and an organization account. Switching via settings is a bit awkward.

Denver devs, after you vote, join me tomorrow night at Code Talent on Blake for @reactdenver.bsky.social!

I'll will preview my upcoming conference talks:

🎨 What makes a design system win
🔬 Testing your way to a better developer experience

We'll have food and go out for drinks after! 🍻

What is time ? Beyond the construct of dials on a watch. To the idea itself is misleading. We as a species accepted the sun rise and sun set as our guides. It all seems simple, until you pull back the curtain a little bit and you see so much more. Things you were not expecting. Timezones. F those
