💬 React.use(Compiler) - Can we finally forget about dependency arrays? by Max Zauner
💬 Building a multi-domain SSO with FusionAuth and NextJs: Challenges and learnings by @cezar.is

Yeah, for a few months now. Liked copilot, but Cursor‘s take on it seems better to me, especially for repetitive tasks. If you like copilot I’d recommend giving it a shot. I came from VSCode though, switching from another IDE might be more of an issue.

Very neat, love it!

Vue 3 is fine. Nuxt 3 is harder, GPT for example likes to give Nuxt 2 code. Overall it’s fine though. It’s great for laravel as well.

I recently had some issues with hyphenation which I then just gave up on in Firefox.
Just out of curiosity, what glyphs are you having trouble with?

Keep it to avoid confusion.

Exploring ways to make nice looking packery-like image galleries in WordPress today. Loads of plugins that seem cool but I’d like to make one without paying for it. This is not a complicated enough feature to warrant the expense, I feel like. Let’s see if I’m right😅

Today was my first encounter with a 360 deg meeting camera. It saw me while not even looking at me! Spooky but impressive.

Got it working. It was (unsurprisingly) my mistake. Still had some requires in a few places, which Vitest apparently does not condone at all😂
Tests now run definitely faster than before: 10s instead of ~17s before with Jest. But: after the tests it says 22.7s, which definitely was not the case.

Still nibbling away at the Jest to Vitest migration (while knowing little about Vitest). Making progress, but am now stumped by module not found errors. Seems to be a common issue though.

Alright, I understand now. Thank you for your insight!

Sorry about that. I’m just wondering which cases there are where laravel is the best tool for the job while not doing any content management. Genuine question, I think I’m just not imaginative enough

How did laravel come into play here, if not for content management?

Very interesting! What kind of stuff are you building if I might ask?

Impressive that you manage to do this every day. Incredible consistency!

Very cool! How much time do spend on average per tool?

Comparing yourself to others is a quick and certain way to unhappiness.
You compare your whole being to just a fraction of the being of the other person, which massively skews the results in the others persons favour.

NOT comparing yourself to others might be one of the most important but also one of the most difficult things to learn.
The reality is that most of the time you know very little about a person, their history or what’s going on in their heads and lives when nobody is looking.

Today I began migrating to Vitest from Jest, mostly because I heard good things about Vitest. It is not going smoothly at all. Wish me luck.

Currently resisting the desire to rewrite a small Vue page of mine with HTMX😅 I know little about HTMX but I think it’d be a good fit and I need a reason to learn it.

Fixed a bug today. Parsing a text file I used for..in to iterate over an object. Forgot that the property name is a string, even if the property is a number, and treated it as a number, leading to a multi hour bug hunt. The second time that has happened to me. Bad practice to use numbers as keys?

I can’t find a stackexchange policy like that mentioned anywhere do you maybe have a link? If they have done so information about the framework can still be found on the framework documentation page e.g. ChatGPT can also look up more recent information if instructed, but the quality varies.

Already happening right now that e.g. GPT suggests code that only works in older versions of certain frameworks. Maybe LLM maintainers will be able to feed it fresh data more quickly? Or LLMs will draw on information from the web in a more capable way? It is an interesting question.

The LLM In The Room Over 2 years ago, the at-the-time not-for-profit research organisation OpenAI released a new version of their Large Language Model, GPT 3.5, under the friendlier brand name of ChatGPT, and started …

Great article about the realities of LLMs and why thoughtless hype is actually damaging to the software industry.
You’re a developer or thinking of becoming one and you’re scared that AI will take your job? Don’t be. Don’t believe the hype.

Shadcn · Nuxt Modules Re-usable components built with Radix Vue and Tailwind CSS.

Kinda extremely late to the party, but today I used a component library for the first time. I think that's pretty handy!

After loads of networking with business people, today I was at an event for coders. Definitely cool to get to know people that are into the same stuff that I am into.

On the topic of carousels in Vue and Nuxt: One very cool effect someone has made with vue3-carousel can be seen in the stackblitz below. I have used an adaptation of this in one of my own projects! Make sure that the preview window is wide enough for the effect to really shine!

Have you ever wondered how to make great carousels in Vue or Nuxt? You can stop wondering. ismail9k and other open source heroes have got you covered!
This package does have somewhat of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you will never look back.

I definitely am. Don’t know about you ;)

Developers who always use LLMs will fall behind because they lose time fixing code that might not have needed fixing if they had written it themselves.
Developers who never use LLMs will fall behind because they have to write code that the LLM could’ve provided.
LLMs are tools. Use them wisely.
