Reposted by George IliadisAnthony Fu @antfu.me · 05/12/2025Don't even know if I should build some LLM-powered tools to fight back magic with magic, or if I should just quit altogether. Agents create the illusion that you can accomplish complicated work with simple prompts, and people become less appreciative of the hard work behind the scenes. 51104
George Iliadis @geoili.bsky.social · 12/11/2025One thing I absolutely hate as a customer, is floating money for something that I buy. If you list your product as in stock. And I buy it, and you realise it is not instock. (happens, its normal). Give me the option to cancel my order. Do not hold my money, especially when the wait time is months. 100

George Iliadis @geoili.bsky.social · 20/10/2025Somehow in 2025 making a case for performant software amongst professionals is an uphill battle. Why do you want to build your design system around React? what is wrong with css? 000

George Iliadis @geoili.bsky.social · 30/07/2025Last week I praised EU regulation for their consumer protection laws. This week I am critising it for the idiocy that is tariffs. How on earth does von der leyen and her group decide about trade tariffs that affect ALL european countries in a single meeting. 000
George Iliadis @geoili.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Since when it is reasonable to provide a only a single year of warrantly for an item that costs 2k euros? In the majority of eastern europe that is 2.5 times the median salary. And on the undeveloped world, that might be years of earnings. Companies doing this garbage should be ashamed. 010
George Iliadis @geoili.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Today my mac broke,99% it is a hardware issue related to a screen cable. I bought this machine in April last year. By apple's standard it is out of warrantly (1 year). But thanks to EU laws that require companies to provide warrantly for 2 years min I wont pay a thing. Thank god for EU regulation 000

George Iliadis @geoili.bsky.social · 28/05/2025Pair programming session, the other dev had copilot. I spend 2 hours on what should be 20 mins. Because the other dev kept giving prompts/ writting a few words and expected the AI to generate the function. 000
George Iliadis @geoili.bsky.social · 23/05/2025Stay away from developers that want to standardise their wrappers around web standards. Someone I know spend 3 weeks to create a reusable form component around a react library written to wrap forms. All this because they wanted to pretend that html does not exist. 000

Reposted by George IliadisAlex Russell @infrequently.org · 12/08/2024This sort of shakedown is why Apple's continuing suppression of PWAs is such a scandal. The idea that services like Patreon need to be "apps" in order to get features like push notifications is a false choice. These should be websites that are on your home screen. 1258
George Iliadis @geoili.bsky.social · 10/03/2024@danabra.mov was messing around with some examples for React 19. Came across this piece of code, at first this felt like a weird coupling thing between components. Then I tried to remove use() from the child and it seems to work just fine. Is use() necessary for such cases? 000

George Iliadis @geoili.bsky.social · 29/12/2023I wish Spotify's suggestions were more useful for people that actually care to explore new music.
