This was a great show, I truly appreciate the thought that @younesjd.dev puts into his work process. If you're writing code and using AI to help then this is a show you should watch. While this is an @angular.dev podcast, today's episode is technology agnostic.

"best" is such a contextual word, what might be"best" for you and your app does not mean it will be the "best" for everyone. By saying "successful" you convey "I had success with this" maybe you will be successful too. #dontSpeakInAbsolutes

thx @mikebrocchi.bsky.social for generating a great image for my mission! 😎

Let’s encourage the term “successful practices” in favor of “best practices”.

It was just 2 components. Both data tables that I updated the data source. I was in the zone (mostly) and ripped through it pretty quickly.

When updating an @angular.dev template from *ngFor to @for do not forget to remove the *ngFor logic because duplication of DOM elements will result in a puzzled look on your face. #protip

Angular performance question for @michael-hladky.bsky.social... I know that *ngrxLet had performance improvements over utilizing *if, but does that performance improvement still exist with the introduction of @let from Angular?

Mike Brocchi @mikebrocchi.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

That is exactly what is going on... turning on "strictNullChecks" fixed what I am seeing, just need to see if this will break my entire repo/applications. THANKS!

There were some comments related to how I am assigning x, but this was a contrived example. The real code is using Angular's signals: // inside a class: private foo = signal<Foo | null>(null); pubValue = computed(() => { // in here the type of this.foo() is WritableSignal<Foo> });

I am assuming that this is a tsconfig issue, but haven't been able to track it down. To be honest, I'm not even sure what to be looking for here.

TypeScript Peeps - I am seeing something strange in one of my projects (sorry, can't share) Given this code: class A {} class B {} class GenericClass<T> { value?: T; } const x: GenericClass<A | B | null> = {}; When I hover over x TS it says the type is: GenericClass<A | B> // no null

Maybe something about dropping decorators or more specifically in class decorators. Or to keep the focus on the destination something like "function-based surface API definitions". Just some thoughts while unable to fall back to sleep

Congrats! They're lucky to have you! With that being said, IIRC they're based out of Pittsburgh, so if you are in town, you better be in touch.

Did you know you can center both vertically and horizontally in CSS now, without Flexbox or Grid? Throw this on your block level element, and it works: align-content: center; justify-items: center; And my trick to remembering it's those properties? It's the ones I never use normally 😆

AI question/help... My github copilot trial just ended and I'm not sure if I want to pay for it. During the trial I used it a bit but not heavily. How useful do you find copilot or similar tools in your daily dev life? If not copilot, what tools are you using?

I wish I was brave like you to do aoc in a language I'm not familiar with. Maybe I should give it a shot in either go which I've never done, or C# which I did in a while back in my career.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yesterday watching the Eagles game there seemed to be a lot of missed calls. Lamar Jackson had a huge 40 yard run towards the end of the game, which let the Ravens back in the game. Please explain how this was not called a holding penalty?
