Feed on here feels a bit better since I posted this. Is nature healing?

I still really wish dev twitter moved over here 😕 I really feel like we could’ve carved out our own space, and pushed out some of the shittier parts of Bluesky.

LLMs really are not getting with the program on Next 15 having you await params

imo Next should make it so that files named client.tsx in the app dir are auto "use client"'d. Its such a nice pattern putting the non-reused components co-located next to the RSC page.

Does the react 19 forwardref codemod just seem not to work for anyone else? It just leaves those files as "unmodified".

RIP CRA, 2016 - 2025
A four-panel comic meme about Create React App (CRA). In the first panel, a figure says "IT IS TIME TO GO" standing next to the CRA logo. In the second panel, CRA asks "Was I a good scaffold?" The third panel shows a grim reaper figure responding "NO." The final panel shows the reaper saying "Certainly not in 2025" while standing with CRA, suggesting that Create React App is outdated or no longer recommended for modern React development.

Tried zen browser but it just doesn't feel as slick as arc :/ I hate to be using a browser that feels like its in "maintenance mode", but its just not quite there. If arc falls apart then I'll probably be winding up back on Chrome.

Weird (maybe not?) thought: cache() is bassically global state for RSCs. Now if only we had a built in API for global client state that nice...

Claude at the moment is by farm and away the most useful general-purpose LLM imo. Answers equally or more correctly as something like gpt o1, at the speed of basic gpt 4o. The real magic is the way it formulates answers though. Explanations feel much more natural and less verbose than 4o / o1.

Hate to say it but really thinking of moving off of a "sign in with bsky" method for @later.blue and using a method like msging the bot a code. The oauth stuff is wicked buggy w/o a redis lock on the client, but having a client lock feels super overkill :/

This video is genuinely a piece of art; providing an unparalleled raw look into the life cycle of a indie game from the people behind it. Take the time to sit down and watch it. I promise you will not regret it.

Something completely underappreciated in how Google Chrome revolutionized the web and security and software in general — was the silent background auto-update + and non-admin user-level installs. It set a bar that changed everything on ability to make progress & address threats. Broke IT paradigms.

In all seriousness, I'm trying to find out if Next's "use cache;" works on CF workers. Anyone know?
