It would be hard to understate how large of a feat of engineering this was. PostGraphile is such a powerful tool and it's great to see such a great foundation for the future in v5 Kudos to @benjie.dev, Jem, and all who contributed to Postgraphile

Immediate impulse purchase. Josh's animations are SO COOL and I can't wait to learn his tricks!

Josh builds the highest quality educational materials I've seen in the world of web software development If his last 2 courses are any indication, I'll be referencing this for years. I highly recommend checking it out

C++ is much easier post-ChatGPT. Was grumbling that current project forced my hand into building a portion in C++, and now I'm breezing through building it Dependency management is also much better than it was in ~2016, but it is still very rough. make's pip look good

I'd love to see a post on React's useOptimistic from @joshwcomeau.com 😁 The React docs and existing resources out there are too high level. They don't actually explain how it actually works in detail - they just show an example of how it's used. In my experimentation, it seems sneakily nuanced!

Diving into Next.js and it feels like the cacheing primitives are designed more for semi-static sites than for dynamic ones e.g. it'd be huge have cache tags be dynamic. Then I can revalidate a single cache entry, not just the entire cache really hope they're working on this

2 things I'd love to see from new cloud providers like Railway, Fly.io, 1 - an LLM to chat with that has the context of the state of your whole account. "Why am I seeing X?" "It could be because this setting is set over here"

Anytime I am helping someone with CSS and they seem to have the wrong mindset in how they approach writing it, I tell them to watch this video by @miriam.codes As far as I'm concerned it should be required viewing for anyone who is learning CSS. youtu.be/aHUtMbJw8iA?...

Someone should do a regular TypeScript “Packages we Love” inspired by @oxide.computer’s “Crates we Love”. It’s a delightful format, and I imagine everyone listening would learn something oxide-and-friends.transistor.fm/episodes/cra...

It's kinda wild how slow the F street car in SF is. Pretty sure it's significantly slower than a bike. Would be curious to see if ridership numbers justify its existence

Manually managing focus state in a web app is not a fun time. Would not recommend it (also couldn’t find a better way for supporting keyboard nav through elements in a canvas??)

Kinda wild that we don’t have an HTTP status code for partial success other than 206, which seems focused on the range request I wonder what would break if the GraphQL community just commandeered a 2xx number and started using it. We’ve still got plenty of numbers, right? 😅

Chandler Gonzales @chandlergonzales.com · 07/01/2025

I know that ship has already sailed, but it’s a tiny shame that the term “query” is used in GraphQL requests to refer to the whole document and to the query operations. Could’ve calledthe request the “document” or maybe “queryDocument” to better disambiguate. Naming is hard

Was hoping to use Neon Database for my Postgraphile (by @graphile.org) deployment, but event triggers are required for Postgraphile's "watch mode" Is branching worth forgoing watch mode 🤔

I wanna hear the untold stories of the huge architectural and data migrations that go into the “smallest” changes like when Slack added the ability to add someone to a group DM and *move past messages* to the new conversation or how Amazon no longer asks which Kindle to send your library book to

Playing with React again after being away a while, pretty stoked about this setup: - @bun.sh serving @tanstack.com start + router - @biomejs.dev handling formatting, linting - @tailwindcss.com styles - Wasm with Rust + wasm-bindgen + wasm-pack - All dockerized and deployed to @fly.io Very slick ✨

Collaborated with @benjie.dev on an updated version of the Graphile Config docs. It’s a pretty young project, but I think this is a valuable little tool for people creating large extensible Node.js libraries a la Postgraphile, Cube.js, etc star.graphile.org/graphile-con...

I know most software engineers hate writing docs, but I've always kinda loved it. I've really enjoyed contributing to the @graphile.org docs over the last couple weeks on the side. Turns out that contributing docs to OSS projects isn't so hard 🙂

so... i was looking at some other JS routers/app servers 1) a LOT more exist than there was pre-Polka & pre-Worktop days 2) regexparam is everywhere 3) people generally inline regexparam (sometimes w/ link) ... I guess that's more appealing for 300b libs? 4) and, most surprisingly/worryingly...
