You're building low-effort apps for developers. The last 1 is called `shitcoins.club`. Why do you expect me to pay for it?

Try working as a contractor, building apps for companies, and then you'll see actual opportunities and missed chances.

Thanks for your answer.

The app you mention is not something that I developed, I developed an app on top of it (notifications for crypto ATM fees changes). But I get your point.

Some apps have much more effort than that one, but that hasn't changed their performance.

The thing about contracting is that I personally find it much harder to fix problems that I don't have. And I generally see the advice of fixing your own problems. I'm a freelance software engineer, and that is going well. What I would like to improve at is at building SaaS tools.

Selfish plug about the same topic https://dnlytras.com/blog/nominal-types


I also wrote something like this and came up with something similar to yours: https://kevincox.ca/2023/03/21/lying-to-typescript/#summary

However I just inlined the "tag". Also like yours but unlike OP there is no runtime tag. Which can be a pro (no extra code) or a con (can't do runtime checks).


Why does US, the largest country, not simply eat the others?


A fantastic library but the adoption is hard.

You'll have to go all-in at some point, there's no other way, which poses its dangers. You now rely on the GH repos/changelogs, their discord for support, etc.

Having worked on a FP-TS app, and with Effect-ts on pet projects, I love the paradigm but I can't help but feel I'm always playing catch-up.


I feel you, we've been hard at work on Effect and the ecosystem these past months (years in fact). Which is why this release and the promise of API stability are such an important milestone. Less catch-up, more shipping from now on!


That's the selling point


That's the scary point


Migrating bundlers and changing test-runners is no fun. If bun can handle that with consistent performance and no goofy upgrade paths, I'm happy.


I like their selling point and if there is enough demand, I think the node community will implement at least a few of those features.


This is a Krazam headline


It's good to take a step back and realize how many tools there are now. For example, there are so many component libraries that sit on different abstraction layers. From very opinionated, to super configurable (like Radix). The React ecosystem is great right now.

So a good component library, a good framework like Remix, and it's such a joy to code on the front end.


I can relate to this! Thanks for sharing your perspective :)


> Our analysis shows that Bluesky cleverly capitalized on the conflicts between Twitter and two of its competitors, such as Threads and Mastodon. With a lot of overlap and association in usage with Twitter’s user base, Bluesky secured its spot in the competitive landscape.

Bluesky sent invites during the OpenAI drama. Their "popular" posts were about Elon. They missed their chance imo.


It's a glorified tech demo at this point.


There's nothing wrong with html/css/js. They are a joy to use really. We're just discussing the abstraction of React here. No need to completely disregard them. You can't eitherway.


Remix's biggest feature for me, is that I most of the time don't need its documentation.

It has a simple mental model (exposed to me), and then it's platform specifics while using React as a templating language.
